Memorandum i'm Regard to
Trieste and Yu&oslav Littoral

Is it hard to understand that
after such misrule. lasting a
quarter of a century. the Yugo-
slavs of the Littoral are thor
oughlY tired of any Italian rule
and want to be united with their
brothers in Yugoslavia?
Of tourse. if their centuries
old aspirations for a united SLO-
VIENNA will be realized. there
will be an Italian minority in
Yugoslavia. But even in the pre-
war Yugoslavia the national
minorities had no complaints;
they were treated well. in many
respects even better than the
Yugoslavs; they had til r
schools. newspapers. theaters
and other institutions: as long
as there was any Parliament in
Yugoslavia. they had their elect
ed representatives. The strug-
gle for liberation in Yugoslavia
laid the foundation for a real
democracy. and to all national
minority groups the right to use
their language in public affairs
and schools is guaranteed by
law. All responsible factors of
the new. democratic federal Yu-
goslavia promised the Italians
equal rights. and autonomy is
planned for Trieste.
Trieste. the most disputed
point on the Adriatic. has moth
ing to lose. and everything to
gain by being Incorporated into
Yugoslavia. AS an Italian port. it
has no future. It was such since
the conclusion of the first World
War. and the results are depress-
ing. Its total rail and sea traffic
in. 1913. that is to say while
under Austria-HungarY. was 6.l2
millions metric tons: in 1924 it
fell to 5.84. in 1890 to 4.33. and
in 1888 to 3.39. The Port OF
Trieste does not serve Italy. but
its own broad hinterland which
is Central Europe. including Yu'
goslavia. Italy possesses Genoa.
Venice and Naples. all more con.
veniently located for its over
seas trade than Trieste. Yugo
slavia. according to pronounce
ments of all responsible high Of
ficials. is ready to grant a free
and easy access to the port tc
Austria. Czechoslovakia. Hun.
gary. and Italy. Thus. and only
thus a new prosperity will be
open for Trieste.
There are many Italians 4:
home and abroad who favo,
such a solution. because they
know Of no other combination
In which Trieste could find more
beneficial conditions for lis fu
ture. All the democratic forces

The problem of Trieste
'Trst" by its Slovene name-is
still awaiting a reasonable solu-
tion. But it certainly cannot be
delayed much longer without
seriously injuring the Interests
of the population concerned. If
it appears complicated. it is for
one reason only: Trieste with
the so-called Venezia Giulia and
Istria came after the first World
War under the Italian rule in
consequences of the secret Lon
don Pact of April rs. 1915. as
ItalY's price for entering into
the war on the side of the Allies.
Therefore Italy still considers
those paris as her rightful pos
session. Yet. aside from the fact
that the London Pact had no
moral basis. it was invalidated
by Italy when she as an axis
partner entered the second
World War against her former
Allies.
The problem. in fact. is quite
simple. The whole territory in
question is both geographically
and economically one unit. Any
artificial partition there's
would be most harmful to its in.
habitants. regardless of their ma.
tionalitY. Many such solutions
had been proposed by well
meaning advisers. but none OF
them satisfies. the most con-
cerned parties as none of them
is taking into consideration the
vital needs of the population.
The region in question is in:
habited by approximately ESQ.,.
600 Yugoslavs-Slovenes and
Croatians-and 100000 Italians.
Yet partition along the lines
Of the nationality is absolutely
impossible. The Italians are con.
centrated mostly in Trieste. Go.
rica (Gorizia) and the small
coastal towns in Istria. while the
rural districts are almost purely
Slovene or Croatian. The entire
Littoral is closely linked with
the neighboring regions which
are Yugoslav. and can prosper
only if united with its hinter'
land. Il could not derive any
economic advantage from poll
tical union with Italy as has
been clearly proven by its eco
nomic. industrial and CONNER
cial retardation since Rapallo
As to the national rights. the
Yugoslavs Of the Littoral never
want a repetition Of their ex
psriences since they came under
the Italian rule In 1918. They
constitute the story Of one o,
the greatest tragedies in any
civilized part Of the world. DR.

fairs. depicted the sufferings of
Yugoslavs under Italy as fol-
lows:
AS result of this second Ra-
pallo some 650.000 South Slavs
(Slovenes and Croats) fell under
the rule of Italy which immedi-
atelY adopted a ruthless course
of Standardization. No national
minority in Europe was subject
ed to greater persecution than
these Slavs in Italy. In short
time their language was entirely
eliminated from government Of
fices. courts. municipalities.
schools. and even churches.
Even its use in private life was
forbidden by threats of violence:
one by one. the Croatian and
Slovenian educational and eco
nomic institutions were de-
stroYed: Slavic songs as well as
any kind of social gatherings of
Slavs were forbidden; no per-
mits were granted for the publ
cation of Slovenian and Croati-
an newspapers. and the reading
of books in the mother-tongue
was made impossible: people
were punished for giving Slavic
names to their newly-born chill
dren: finally thousands of Slo-
venes and Croats were forced to
adopt Italian surnames to make
them complete Italians. Ut
might be added that the Sloven;-
an and Croatian names had to
be Italianized even on tomb
stones.) BY such and similar
methods (such as floggings. I'M
punished arson. and other types
of violence) the almighty state
of Italy. and that before the
Fascist era. too. while Sforza
was foreign minister. tried to
eradicate the last traces of Slav-
ism in these South Slavic Sec
tions. After Mussolini's ascent
to power. Slav patriots who re-
fused to betraY their people
were systematically subjected to
the most brutal treatment.
Many were incarcerated and tor.
tured. and sentenced to intern.
ment. long prison term or death
by special tribunals
During the present war. Italy
applied these and even worse
methods such as numbering hos.
tages. concentration camps and
destruction Of entire villages
in order to denationalixe an ad.
ditional million and half Of
South Slavs in parts which Italy.

right and custom. had selfishlY
