was to play more important role
in the new state than the 100000
people inhabiting the rest of the coun'
try. Control of the entire country
was retained by the same group OF
men that had ruled the old Kingdom
of Serbia. Not only did that group
hold the most prominent positions in
the cabinet and at the Court, but
nearly all of the less exalted although
possibly more important and certainly
longer lasting positions in the central
government were filled by their rela-
tives, friends and exponents. Diplo-

One result of this policy was the
terrible maladministration to which
the country has been subjected. In
accordance with their idea that Jugo-
slavia was only an enlarged Serbia,
the Serbs retained in all essentials
the same machinery Of government
that had been designed to administer
country of little more than
100000 to administer country with

whole system of government imposed
on them against their will and with
out their agreement. Since the very
first election, that for the constituent

approval and their dissatisfaction
with the conditions and with the

give the peoples of the country a
chance to become masters of their
own destiny. The ruling clique was
in tight corner. What happened?
On the twentieth day of June, 1928
three of the most prominent of the
Croatian leaders were murdered, muir
dered by one of the criminal con-
spirators, and a MEMBER OF THE
PARLIAMENTARY MAJORITY, a
man, who spent the night before the
crime in conference with the Court
Marshall, General JankDvich. There
can be no doubt that the Croatian
leaders were slain in order that
through their death the movement
for a reorganization of the state be
weakened, and the reign of the cor.
rupted clique of Belgrade politicians
and their military allies be prolonged
This attempt miscarried at first
Instead of weakening the opposition
of the Croats, this terrible crime
served only to increase it. Enraged
the powers-that-be resorted to the
only remaining means of retaining
control over the country. In January
1929 they persuaded the King to sus-
pend the constitution and to proclaim
himself dictator, making General
Peter Zivkovich the head Of the gov.
ernment.

of the Croats, but Great Serbia,

This change constitutes biggest
fraud ever perpetrated on whole

Croatian nation, the architect and the
chief builder of the United State of

was undertaken in order to prepare
way for the reorganization of the
state, many of the Croats greeted it
with appreciation in the first few days
after it was proclaimed. Soon, how
ever, it became evident that the die
tatorship was in reality continuance
Of the previous state of affairs aggra-
waited by a greater concentration of
power and the possibility of a more
ruthless use of it.
In the two years that passed since
it was proclaimed, dictatorship has
done few little things to improve the
administration of the country. But
most of it's efforts were directed to-
wards the annihilation of Croatian
national individuality and the break
ing by force of every attempt of re-
sistance against those efforts or
against the general arbitrariness and
oppression of the government, which
still represents the same interests
that have ruled the country during
the parliamentary regime, and that
have ruled the pre-war Kingdom of
Serbia.
Neither the force used against the
strong, however, nor the bribing of
the weak and the false, have been
enough to break the spirit of the
Croatian people. Every bit of infor-
nation that we are able to get from
Croatia nncensored proves that the
demand of the Croats is the same as
1t was before, i. e., "that they should

SUMMARY
The idea of Jugoslav unity sprang
up on Croatian soil and in Croatian
mind. When mature, it proposed a
union of the South-Slav peoples in
one State, which would be so organ
ICED, that each nation entering it
would preserve in it it's territorial in
tegrity and the freedom Of political,
economic and social development. In
this form, the idea of unity was ac-
cepted by great majority of Croats
as the political programme of Croa-
tian nation. During the war Croatian
leaders, constituted as the Jugoslay
Committee at London, worked ener-
getically for the realization of that
programme, and, as early as October
