.KppeoI for
Continued Support

Holding It's annual meeting in
Cleveland on October 20, the
United Committee of South
ESlayie Americans addressed the
following statement to Ameri-
cans of Croatian, Slovenian,
Serbian, Macedonian and Bull
garian origin and descent:
Our work during the past two
years was Of great Importance
to the United States and the
Slavic countries in the Balkans,
notably to Yugoslavia. It had
the moral and financial support
of the large majority of our fel-
low South-Slayic Americans.
Our work is not yet finished; in
some respect it is more import
ant than ever; and the United
Committee of th-Slavic
Americans hereby appeals for
continued support from those
Who understand the value of our
movement and activities to the
United States and to the coun-
tries from which we come or
stem.
During the next twelve
months, to be effective, the
United Committee of South h-Sla-
vic Americans will need at least
100000.

Telenews Theatre

With the release of DDT for
civilian use, many confusing
statements have been made con-
corning the use of the potency
of this wonder insecticide. To
clear these facts and create
better understanding of DDT,
the Telenews Theater this week
is presenting a complete and
concise film perturbation on
"The Story of DDT."
AS Gen. Eisenhower warns of
possible revolt in the occupied
territories Of Germany, come
these documentary films of the
roundup of black marketeers,
and the mass migrations that
effect over 100000 homeless
Germans. These people, ragged
and desperate now, were, many
of them, pro-Hitler. Scenes of
these people erowding a train
are among the outstanding films
to come out of Europe in
months.
Newsreels of the typhoon in
Kyushu, Japan; the seizure of a
quarter of a million dollars of
Jap gold; and thrilling pictures
of the Notre Dame, Navy game
that was played at Cleveland,
round out the program. The
much disputed touchdown play
is shown in slow motion.

OUNCE OF PREVENTION

What every housewife should
know is how infections start.
Many small cuts and scratches
result in serious infections and
often result in death. Because
of the serious complications that
can result, it is unwise and un-
safe to disregard cuts and
scratches. The Greater Cleve-
land Safety Council says that
the best way to prevent infec-
tions is to apply an antiseptic
solution Immediately whenever
a small cut or scratch occurs.

Hunger II Europe
This Winter

Pittsburgh, Pa. = Starvation
and misery Is facing millions Of
people in 'Eazrope. We, on whose
soil not one bomb has fallen,
where not one mine has been
planted, where not one Fascist
atrocity has been perpetrated
can hardly imagine the destruc-
tion and chaos the Nazis left be-
hind them in those lands which
their boots have trampled. Many
Americans still don't know that
the German Luftwaffe tore up
the harvests in Russia, Poland,
Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia;
that they carted away the trac-
tors and the draft animals; that
they confiscated all foods to
feed their own naurderous
armies. It will be a long time
before the people of Europe will
be able to refertilize their soil,
repair their transportation and
feed the entire population. One
thing is clear. Millions will
starve this winter unless Ameri-
ca offers aid.
The people Of Europe do not
come to us as beggars. They
were our allies in war and they
are our allies in peace. Our aid
to them now would be an in
vestment in the democratic and
peoples governments they are
trying to build. It would pre-
vent disease and unrest and
would guarantee that these peo-
pie would be able to make their
full contribution toward the Sc
curity and peace not only of
Europe but of America as we'll.
Our country is rich. During
the war the United States pro-
duced more food than ever be-
fore. The insignificant sacrifices
that the average American
would make in his diet would
mean the survival of millions of
babies, mothers and those who
have suffered through six years
of barbarous warfare. For in
stance, the emergency confer
ence on world food crisis held
on August T. l945 in Washing
ton, d. c., brought the following
facts:
'fHalf the sugar used in soft
drinks and other luxury prod.
ucts would give every resident
of France about rs pounds of
sugar a year. Americans now
eat 72 pounds"
Giving up one pint month
would provide enough milk to
millions of babies, young chill
dren and mothers in Europe for
the next six months
Americans eat one egg a day.
Every American giving up one
egg week to be shipped abroad
would mean 100 a year for
everybody in France, Holland,
Belgium and Norway"
IF every American would
give up 3 ounces of meat a
week, two-thirds of Europe's
desperate need could be met"
IF Americans would eat 10
per cent less meat, cheese, con-
densed and evaporated milk,
fats and oils Including butter)
and dried beans, 1900, 600 tons
would be available for Europe"

and prevent the consolidation Of
our country. .'*
What does all this mean? II
means that the Opposition is
ceaselessly working against the
interests Of our country, con-
cerned solely with attaining
power in Jugoslayia whatever
the means and by whatever sup
port, and whatever territorial or
other damage our country
should thereby suffer.
And what do international
reactionaries want? They want
Jugoslavia to be as little resist
ant as possible in the present
situation, to be as little able as
possible to protect it's own in
terests. TO that end the Opposi-
tion il to serve. The Opposition
is not concerned whether our
people in Montenegro, Bosnia
and Herzegovina, the Lika, Dal-
malta and the Kordun shall
have food and a roof over their
heads this winter or not. It is
of no Importance to them
whether Our fields will be sown
this autumn so that we shall
have sufficient to eat next year.
1T is of no importance to
them whether our factories sue
coed in getting repaired suffi-
eiez1tly to be able to make the
clothes we need and the agricul-
tural implements the broad
masses of the people need. It is
not important to the Opposition
to see our briedges, at present
of timber, made of steel. What
is important to the Opposition
is at all costs to be the aid of
international reactionaries, to
take advantage of all these con-
ditiors to grab power in order
to ennul the achievements of
the National Liberation Strug-
| gle and put things back to where
they were before the war.
THAT is what the opposition
wants. And on whom does it
mainly rely in these aims =?
Apart from certain hesitant per-
SONS who latterly joined the Ma
tiollal Front, the opposition
mainly relies ON Nedic's rem
nants, on Draza Mihailovic's
remnants in Serbia, on those
anti-national persons in the
country districts who in various
ways collaborated with the in
vaders during the war. In Croa-
tia the opposition rests on the
Ustashi, who today shout "Long
live the King" and on those an
ti-national traitor persons of
the Croat Peasant Party who in
various ways cellaborated with
the invader, while in Slovenia it
relies On the remnants of the
White Guard. In short, it finds
support in all these reaetionary
anti-national forces which look
back and do not want a power.
full new federal Jugoslavia.
Those are the forces on which
the opposition rests, and the op-
position can rely On such forces
alone, if the broad masses of
the people fully grasp the part
the opposition plays. That ia
how things stand, nowhow else.
This is the real situation, what
ever certain leaders of the op-
position may imagine.
AT the outset the opposition
asserted that we have no free
press. Il spread this assertion
abroad and today international
neactioaaries are still using that
assertion against our country.
Even before the laws were
PASSED the opposition could
publish its papers without any
danger. Today that is further

if it did 80 it would lose one of
the arguments by which it tries
to prove that we have no democ-
racy and no free press.
further, the opposition con-
stantly asserts that parties are
not allowed, although the oppo-
sition parties, long before the
passing Of the law concerning
public meeting and assembly,
were very busy. Nevertheless,
up to the present not one Of
those opposition parties, despite
that most democratic law, has
registered the activities of its
party. Why not? In order to be
able in the election campaign to
give international reactionaries
the weapon against our country
deceiving international public
opinion that we have no liberty
of assembly and association.
Why does the opposition play
such a twofaced part? Because
it is afraid of having very little
success among the people, for
that would unmask it before the
masses and before world opin-
ion.
"Let the gentlemen of the op-
position not be carried away by
the idea that it might be better
to make some excuse not to go
to the polls, in order to produce
the impression among certain
Allied great powers to the ad-
vantage of the opposition or,
should I rather say, to the ad-
vantage of reaetionary circles in
Jugoslavia. Such people are be-
ing deceived by certain events in
certain neighboring countries
which excite them very much.
They forget one thing which
plays the most important part,
and that is that Jugoslavia is an
independent state which has
won it's independence as an Al
lied country with equal rights
among the United Nations pay
ing for it's liberty and independ-
ence by rivers of blood and
hundreds of thousands of lives.
apart from that that liberty
and independence have been won
by these against whom the op-
position is fighting. Where was
the opposition in those days,
what was it doing when the
fight was on-that Our peoples
know very well.
1T should be quite clear to
everybody that we shall not al

and to save our land from des-
truction and we shall know now

From what I have just said to

see whom the opposition repre-
! sents especially to emphasize
where the place of every true

country is. That National Front
must secure all the achieve

tContinued from last week)
IT has been interesting to eb-
serve the bearing Of the opposi-
| |tion in our provisional national
parliament. Its attitude has
been ,lnprincipled, for even In
matters concerning which they
had nothing to complain Of in
esssence, they failed to Support
us. Whereas every supporter Of
the National Liberation Front
In Parliament has satisfactorily
expressed his concern about the
interests of the people and their
neeeds, and has reported the diff
ficulties met with and SO on, the
opposition has never had a word
to say about these things, but
has constantly demanded some
sort of freedom from fear. They
demanded democracy of their
sort, which is no sort of democ-
racy, and demanded rights for
persons who have not deserved
them, and so On.
THAT makes it clear what
this oppositio n represents.
Where is its program On all
those questions which / have
mentioned? We should like to
see it, or should / say, the people
should see that program. We
should see in what way that
program is more progressive
than the program of the Nation
al Front and which would be
most advantageous to our eoun-
try. Every point which the op-
position might suggest, and
which would be more advan-
tageous and progressive for the
people, would, Fam sure, be &C.
cepted openhanded by every ad-
herent of the National Front.
"What is the opposition do
ing, and in obat ways In the
period since the opposition was
fenabled to work freely, every
step it has taken has been in ep-
position to the interests Of the
people. The opposition aims at
using to its party ends every
! difficulty which exists in our
country through the destruction
of war and that without regard
to the interests of our people.
One of the principle aims of the
Opposition is to break up the
National Front. Finding itself,
through it's own reactionary
views outside the National
Front, the Opposition is work
ing at full pressure to get GER
tain individual of certain par
/ ties which are in the National
Front to cross to it's side and
leave the National Front, so as
to weaken it.
| ''Up to the Potsdam Confer
ence certain reactionary circles
from abroad were using the Op-
position as much as they could
| to cause a crisis in our govern
1 ment. Why? So as to Use the
government crisis at the Pots
dam Conference to build up a
charge against the National
Front, or should I rather say,
against those members of the
government who are the major
ity and who have merged from
the fight in our country. The
aim was to do Everything pos
sible to split the unity of the
government by intrigues into
adherents of Subasic and ad-
herents of Tito. Then interna-
tional reaeti0naries would be
able to say: You see there is nc
| public order in Jugoslayia, the
/ Allies should intervene.
