tatorship. Deep-down the coun-
try was torn by chauvinist
cross-purposes. 1t was exploited
by foreign financial interests.
It's government was corrupt.
The majority of people were
poverty stricken amid undevel-
oped natural resources.
When Yugoslavia collapsed
early in Al under the impact of
the Axis invasion, the Yugoslav
people-hundreds of thousands
of them-determined first to
resist the Axis and second to
develop a peoples power able
to fashion their country's fu-
ture.
It was resistance.
It was also revolution, a peo-
ple's rising against their di-
virse enemies. -
Mikhailovich was the govern
ment's man. When he came up
against the revolution, he be-
gan to fight it.
Partisans are the revolution,
the future; Mikhailovich and
the Chetniks are counter-revo-
luton, the past.
To get the arms with which
to fight the Partisans, the Chet.
mix commanders have collabor.
ated for two years now with the
German and Fascist Italian
commanders, while the govern.
ment-in-exile in London was
stealing Partisan victories tc
;, attribute them to Mikhailovicf
in world publicity.
This went on for two years
until just the other day. Som'
of us in the United States haC
a hand in exposing the hoax
Then the Moscow Conference
took cognizance ofthe situation
Now General Maitland Wilson
as I say, denounced the Chet
, niks.
1t looks like the big Unitet
Nations are going to drop Mix
hailovich and recognize Tit
:, and his Partisan resistance an,
, revolution. If I am right, thi
, will be a step in the right di
+ rection-toward a better Yugo
, slavia, a better Europe-worl'
: peace.

Marine Writes

Gentlemen:
Eager for news on the Slo-
venes in my native Cleveland
which I left some three years
ago, / enclose a dollar for a
partial subscription to your
publication.
I wonder if it is possible to
receive the Saturday edition for
awhile. Because I'm particular
ly interested in the English
Section. -.
Some three years ago | lived
in the happy, gay-spirited at
mosphere that was st. Clair
avenue then-there were just
social, cultural and political
events then no war for us.
Now all my buddies are in
the fight, as I am. And I'd like
to hear of them and know of
their whereabouts. Your paper
is a wonderful medium of such
information.
Perhaps you may recall that
Iscontributed to the columns of
your English Section during the
editorship Of my good friend
Stanley Zorc. From there I
went on to Chicago where aft
er some detouring / finally be-
came a reporter on the Chicago
ald-American," whereupon
I was inducted, and assigned to
the Marines as a public rela-
tions man.
During my reportorial days
in Chicago l had the good Tor
tune of coming into contact
with, l believe, our mutual men
tor-Louis Adamic.
In fact, I am wholeheartedly
in agreement with his TWO
WAY PASSAGE proposition
Even hope to become part Of
that entire program someday
when the fight is over and WE
can freely, work for peace.
Forgive me for rambling

ADAMtC'S RADIO ADDRESS REVEALS
MIkEiAlLO OvICH HOAX

The following is the text Of |
Louis Adamic's broadcast Nov.
II at 1850 over CBC canadian
Broadcasting Company which
was heard all over Canada and
northern sections Of the United
States. Adamic spoke from
New York:
Three days ago General Matt
land Wilson, the British COM
mander in the Middle East, is
sued a sharp denunciation of
the pro-Nazi Chetniks in Yugo-J
slavia who are collaborating
with the Germans against their
Yugoslav countrymen who call
themselves the Partisans.
This is very important de-
velopment-a direct result Of
the Moscow Conference.
For two years the world has
heard amazing stories about
Yugoslavia's resistance against
the Axis. But only in recent
weeks have we begun to learn
the truth about it.
Only lately have we dis
covered that the Yugoslavs who
have been fighting the Axis oc-
cupation tooth and nail are not
the so-called Chetniks led by
Drazha Mikhailovich and the
Yugoslav Government-in-exile.
These Davids armed almost
literally with slingshots against
the modern Goliath of tanks
and bombers are the revolution
:, ary Partisans of the Yugoslav
, Liberation Front, commanded
by General Josip Brozovich-
y popularity known as Tito.
The world has been the vic.
, tim of a hoax, of a great false
+ hood, perpetrated by the propa.
ganda machine Of the govern.
. ment-in-exile which has wanted
and tried to convince Britain
6 and America that it ought to be
returned to power in Yugosla:
via. - /.
The incredible feats of tht
heroic Yugoslav resistance art
! true; the growth of strength
and unity among these men ane
women is true. But it is MOI
= = Mikhailovich's Chetniks wht
- fight the invaders-it is Tito'E
. Partisans.
= Under other circumstances i
wouldn't make much difference
which man heads the fierce, all
y out guerrilla fighting which
without waiting for an Anglo
American invasion, or Anglo
American tools of war, has KEEP
, 20 to 80 Axis divisions pinned
down in Yugoslavia and ava!
,, from Russia, Africa and Italy
- But in this case it makes all th'
difference in the world.
The thing goes far beyont
y Mikhailovich and Tito. It goe'
= down to the roots of the presen
world war, which are also tn
! roots of any future peace.
% After the war, the world
:, and Europe and Yugoslavia-
y will have to be rebuilt-and tn
y reasons why Mikhailovich ha
= not fought the invaders the wa!
y the Partisans have-and why h
. has instead repeatedly openet
battle against Tito's forces
: are reasons connected with Yu
~ goslavia's part in the war ant
with the way she is to be rebuilt
- after it is over.

'AAUW Leaders
Open Conference

A four-day conference of presi-
dents of the State divisions of the
American Association of University
Women opened last night at the
AAUW headquarters, 1884 I street
NV, with members of the associa-
tion's Board of Directors, national
committees and the headquarters
staff attending.
A warning was sounded in the
opening address by DR.. Helen G.
White, national president of the
AAUW. against two types of dan
gerous thinking" with regard to
postwar world affairs.
I'VE hear great deal these DAYS
of planning for the world we want" !"
she said. If we let ourselves think
that we can have the world we want
by wanting 1t hard enough, we are
simply reviving the old illusion built
during World War I and inviting
the inevitable reaction of disillu-
sionment and cynicism.
If, on the other hand" she con-
tinued, I'VE try to cushion ourselves
against disappointment by refusing
to attempt a better blueprint for
the future, we are betfaying the
honest and valiant millions who
are giving all they have to the COM
mon cause. Some line of advance
from where we are to where we
want to go must be struck out" she
continued. That is work of prac-
tical and constructive intelligence to
which every active mind must con-
stantly address its best endeayors, /"
