ENIGHES: They say that all European wars
start in the Balkans Glance at the Balkans.
At the outbreak of this war; there was one
MhailOvitch, whom we hailed as great hero
and an implacabe enemy of the Nazis.
Now he is being called pro-Nazi traitor;
and all our interest is in the hero we call Tito.
WHERE WAS TITO DURING THE FIRST
TWO YEARS OF MIHAILOVITCH'S WAR?
He was a devotee of Stain, who was in
alliance with the Germans, and Tito was not
fighting the Nazs.
Now he IS; and our people are sending him
supplies and help.
That is all to the good
! am for helping anybody who will help fight
Hitler
But now Tito's FOLLOWERS are setting up
government TO oUerthrolO the government in exile.
Tito calls MihailoUitch traitor and pro-
German.
Mihoilouitch fuiously denies the charge and
his magnificent record disproues it,
Louis Adamic has written a book, Only Native
Land" in which he violently deneHnees Mihaifo-
witch and says frankly that it might be a good
thing if "tthe YteoSfdv or the Balkan Federation
would become a republic within the Soviet Union
and it would be most likely headed by Tito or Dm
troff"
That is rather startling, isn't it? He may be
