Deny Permits Are Refused.
The Jugoslav authorities in this
region deny that permits are refused
to land owners or others who have
legitimate business to cross the line.
They admit the complete embargo on
food, but claim they exclude only
political agitatorS and propagandiSts.
They meet the Austrian charges with
counter charges of the same character
and point to the fact that through
the Intervention of the entente mis-
sion here, composed of British, French
and Italians, all but about 1900 of
the refugees who fed north when the
Jugoslav troops moved in have been
permitted to return to their homes.
Also they allege that among them
are hundreds of agitators and cleo
tioneers well supplied with money,
who are abusing their privilege in
proselyting the population against the
impending vote. Then, too, they
charge that the Austrian officials re-
fuse passage to persons of Slav

ton of zone A, the southern region

admit this, claiming that the Aus

remain Austrian with political
frontier drawn across the edge OF
the city, cutting it off from the
agricultural and village population

One of the Jugoslav arguments
however, is that their boundary must
be thrown north of the karawanke en-
mountains for military reasons. They
say that this great natural fort
dominating the regions to the south
