Memories Revived

Remember last year? And the
year before that? It was a sure
thing every year-and we are
hoping to make it a sure thing
again this year, in spite of
everything, that you will have
the same kind of fun at the Big

Slovenske Sokolice, No. 442
SNPJ on Saturday evening, Oc-
tober 9 at Slovene National
Home, when you can dance to
your hearts content to the mu-
sic of Johnny Pecon's boys.
Johnny is overseas-and a lot
of the boys who used to come
to our parties will also be over
the oceans and far away-but
you can be sure that many of
them will be thinking back to
the gay Saturday evenings at
SNH-and it's up to you, now,
to keep those happy times a
living tradition and something
for them to dream about and
to come back to. Well see you
there, men? At $50? Your tic
ket at the door is reserved for
you, especially, for SOC. It's a
date!

Fighting Yugoslavia|
The First Stratum: The
Civilian Formulation

denced by the writing of the
occupation newspapers. They
accused the Slovenes Of ingrati-
tude, lack of understanding of
the political situation, misuse
of the invaders patience and
the like. The Italians, for in
stance, maintain that the Slo-
venes with their rebellious con-
duct have given proof that they
are POLITICALLY immature"
that they have forfeited the
magnanimous favor of Italy,"
and that they "do not possess
the necessary qualities to enjoy
autonomy" Regime Fascista"
of June 6, 1912, presents an
article which stresses the point
that guerrilla warfare would
cease at, once, if the civilian
population would cooperate
with the military authorities
for only one week. Instead,
the guerrilla war continues
over a one year period, sabo-
tage follows murder, at the
opening of the great fair they
respond with bombs, attacks on
railways and trains are being
constantly repeated, the num-
Der of our sacrifices is mount
ing higher and higher. 1t would
be naive to think that our enemy
is only the Partizan who lives
in the thickets, or the bandit
who hides in the forests. These
could not live for a single day
without the support and CO.
operation of the wide masses of
people,"
Secret reports from occupied
lands confirm the weakness of
the invaders safety measures
against the noble resistance Of
the people. The invaders never
expected such resistance, and
it is getting on their nerves.
The proof of this is that after
the least disturbance, the Ital-
ians fire blindly on the civilian
population. If but a single shot
is fired in Ljubljana, the whole
city responds. The Fascist
leaders are becoming hysteri-
cal. To a high church dignitary,
who at the Italian embassy in
Belgrade intervened, so that
the Slovenes who were driven
out of Lower Styria might be
removed to sections of Italian
occupied Slovenia, they said !:
'"Tell your. Slovenes to be sem
sible! So small a people, and
they destroy themselves so
foolishly. 1t is high time to put
a stop to your senseless acts of
sabotage. If it were not for
these, all the Slovenes who
were deported to Serbia could
return to Slovenia. AS matters
stand, however, you must un-
derstand that our (Italian)
authorities must decline to &C
cept these people, since they
do not wish to increase the
number of saboteurs." The Re-
gime Fascista wrote that "the
Slovenes must prove their So
cial and political maturity" "
and that they stand before the
alternative "either to renounce
banditry, or place themselves
on the side of the enemies of
civilized peoples" The Slovenes
have chosen to place themselves
on the side of the "enemies of
civilized peoples" ~
The same situation prevails
in the German occupied Sec
tions of Slovenia. The Germans
extol the victims that fell in
the struggle against the "bar-
barous enemies of civilization %
