A wonderful combination.

The members of this Jugoslav Committee
are mostly Austrian subjects, residing at Lon
don and not in Serbia, as stated in New York
Tribune They are refugees and Austrian de-
serters who for various reasons left Austria
and found their way to London, where they
banded themselves together and formed the So
called JugoSlav Committee. They claim that
they represent the Slovenian and Croatian ma
tions, altho they were not elected by the people
to represent them in any way. They have
tried to get the approval of American Slovenes
and ,Croats, but have failed. The Slovenian
Nation as whole does not recognize this Com
mittee or any member thereof as a represen-
tative of the Slovenian Nation. The Croats
have joined the Slovenes who denounced this
Committee and will have nothing in common
with them.
Glas svobode. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1902-1931, 1917-10-09
Were not sincere.

Upon several statements made by this Lon
don JugOslav Committee, that the people shall
choose the form of government in the new Bal
kan State, the Jugosavs of America became
optimistic What form of government shall we
choose in our Jugoslavia? Became the most
important question of the day. Republican of
course Was the common answer.
The Jugoslavs especially Croats and Slo-
veneS have felt the iron fist of their despots
and autocrats, they know they enjoyed no Ii
berties no privileges under monarchial rule, but
they have also found out what liberty means
for them and their nation. Their daily contact
with the American workingmen has thought
them of American standard of living and think
ing. They became democratized and for this
very reason they would not consent to become
slaves again. They love their native land and
they love their new adopted country they love
freedom and liberty and they are willing to
undergo any sacrifice, no matter how great to
set their people free and live in happy thought
that their kin enjoy all the benefits of free
dom, such as they themselves enjoy in their
adopted fatherland

WiIU.S. Government officially receive
the JueosIav Committee?

while these secret pacts were existant they
have been telling the public that they are wor-
king for unity of all Jugoslav nations into one
great Jugoslavia, the people themselves to de-
eide the form of government
Glas svobode. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1902-1931, 1917-10-09
There are important reasons.

1t is not worth while to discus how indivi-
dual members of this Jugoslav Committee came
to London and why they fled their native land,
but let it suffice to say, that this Committee
sent its representatives to America to unite
the American Jugoslavs for their propaganda
and that these representatives received cold
reception, for the very reason that their pro-
gram was not clear and could not stand the
test of sincerity. 1t was under suspicion from
the very beginning The JugOslavs residing in
America, who have tested the joys and bene-
fits of American democracy and freedom would
not follow any leader blindfolded, and demand
ed to know the aims of the Jugoslav Committee.
Three years the people clamored for an open
program and three years has this Committee
worked behind closed doors, having made sec
ret pacts with the Serbian government for Gre
alton of Greater Serbia, comprising all of the
old Serbian State, Montenegro and all other
Austro- Hungarian South Slavic provinces. And

the Serbian authorities have been Informed
that our government will not officially receive
this Jugoslav Committee Did our government
know anything beforehand who and what
is this Committee and what is its aim? We
hope it was well informed. We took particular
pains to inform some of the government high
officials about this Jugoslav Committee, yet
we believe there are some, who may not know

The will of the people shall prevail.

Consistent with the declaration of New
Russia and promises Of our President, we Slo-
venes and Croats have organized National Re
publican Alliances, elected our officers and
Committees at national conventions and they
are therefore considered as the only body OF
freemen elected by the Slovenian and Croatlan
people to carry the propaganda for Federal
Republic of Jugoslavia against all pretcnsions
of monarchial and autocratic dynasties, whose
aim may be to annex our Slovenian and Croa-
tian territory and place it again under the yoke
of potentate. And since the Jugoslav Com
mittee in London was not elected by the people
to execute the will of the people, we openly
protest against official recognition of said Com
mittee by our American government,

in the note of our President Wilson, has set

their aim and desire, that the Jugoslavs shall
