Yugoslay eendarme, FOR the gen.
darmes represent Serbian oppres-
sion. The gendarmes will be killed
long before any Italians or Ger
mans"
As we have tried to understand
this complicated Yugoslavia we have
talked with politicians, lawyers. doc
tors, businessmen, peasants and stu
dents and have learned two things.
The first Is that large part of this
province -, Croatia lis consumed
with hate and mistrust of its ma
tional government. The second thing
is that this Croatian opposition IT
self is showing signs of disunity.
Since the breakdown of the Matchec
negotiations the Peasant party ap-
parently has been laying low; doing
nothing.
People See Failure.

Guilty of holding our people to-
gether in the present circum-
stances" Koshutitch told us. For 20
years we have fought by peaceful
means for liberty and autonomy. A
month ago our people could hope
that we would be successful, but
now it appears to them that we
have failed. Their demands are be-
coming greater; they want more ac-
ton; there is even suspicion that
we are cooperating with the
Serbs"
Meanwhile there are more extreme
elements in Croatia-some with Fas-
cist tendencies and some who ad-
covate revolt-whose voices are be-
ing more widely listened to.
We are not the only foreigners
in Yugoslavia who are interested in
this complicated picture. The ma
tion is overrun with German tour
lists, businessmen and agents. AS
Prince Paul shuttles back and forth
from Rome to Berlin it must be
increasingly difficult for him to
smile pleasantly to all while striv-
ing to maintain the neutrality of his
country.

WISE TO BUILD
DURING WINTER

Advances In construction meth
DDS and introduction of new ma
terials In recent years have largely
eliminated the once accepted idea
that II was unwise to build in the
late autumn or winter.
one Of the actual reasons why
autumn building had been unpopu-
lar in the past was that dwellings
built for sale or rent came on the
market at time when a large
body OF renters were under lease
and when prospective buyers had
to be shown properties under ad-
verse weather conditions.
Among the possible advantages
in autumn or winter building are:
Contractors are usually seeking
work to keep their organizations
intact during the duh period; the
trades desire to keep busy; ma
terials dealers search for orders
TO pay overhead on their establish
ments and keep their staffs busy.
Concessions are possible. and such
concessions are frequently more
than enough to offset any extra
precautions which may be neces-
sary in winter building.
Freezing weather does not mean
concrete and masonry work must
be suspended. Reasonable care
must be taken, however. to keep
sand and crushed stone warm be-
fore mixing and to protect finished
work by proper covering. Plaster
ing must be watched and lumber
protected from snow and rain.
