This we cannot forget. More
than one-haf Of all this terrific
~ has been liberated by these
herioc guerrillas while the bat
tie for Italy was still being
fought by the American forces
on the beaches of Anzio and in
the ruins of Casino. When New
Zealand troops arrived at Trzic
(Monfalcone), near Soca river,
Jugoslav Army already held all
Julian March for the benefit of
the Allies. ..~
| Zone of the most inspiring
points in the program of Jugo-
slav Liberation Front has been
and it still is the liberation Of
the Julian March and its just re-
turn and affiliation to the de-
mocratic, federated Jugoslav
State.
''The Americans of Jugoslav
descent, especially the Slovenian
Americans, rejoiced as much as
their liberated brothers and sis
ter in Europe upon learning the
news that the Jugoslav troops
occupied the territory, which
has been separated from their
motherland, and their joy doub-
ly increased by learning that the
American and British forces
shared with the Jugoslavs the
occupation of the City Of Trst.
"On May 18th it was reported
in the press that some differ
enees, arising out of the joint
occupation, had been settled by
the American and British rep
resentatives and the govern
ment of Marshal Tito who
agreed to allied use of this port
city to secure communication
lines of Allied forces in Austria.
"The latest report that our
government and the British or
dered the evacuation of the ter
ritory liberated by the Jugoslav
Army appears to us unfair, un-
reasonable and harmful to the
best interest of the American
people and Jugoslavia. It seems
logical that the American peo-
pie would prefer to see their
sons return from European bat
tlefields, instead of occupying
the territory whose native lib
orators are now being asked to
withdraw from their homeland.
1t also seems logical that the
Jugoslav Army as part of the
great Allied Army is entitled to
hold the territory it liberated
just as much as the American,
British, Russian and French
forces hold the territories they
liberated and occupied.
"Slovenian A m ericans are
well acquainted with the sacred
sentiments of Jugoslavs insofar
as the liberation and occupation
of Julian March is concerned,
and they feel that the latest &C.
tion Of our and British govern

Dear Mr.. President:
'The Americans of Slovenian
descent are greatly disturbed
about the newspaper reports Of
May 18th, stating that the
American and British govern
ments served notice on the Ju-
goslav government in Belgrade,
demanding i m m e d a t e with
drawal of Jugoslav troops from
the City of Trst (Trieste) and

Croatians from Julian March
joined the Jugoslay Partisans
and later enrolled in the Jugo-
slav Army Of Liberation, and
for over four years they have
fought for the allied cause
against the Italian Fascists and
German Nazis. Their contribu-

is priceless and it will be re-
corded in the annals of history
as the greatest epic of herioc
