one has came to distrustsone an
other, even the members of ones
own family.
Romance, mystery, intrigue,
hate, and distrust are words that
can all be used to describe this

the reign of the enemy.
Being one of the players I can't
urge you enough to gain COM
plete appreciation that can be
experienced only by seeing it.
After the performance we will
be happy to serve, yes, supper!

But something else will need to
be done. We can begin by asking
a few questions.
Was the American provocation
of the Jugoslavs organized and di-
rected, or were our people in Italy
and Austria led into it by the Brit
ish, or did it just happen? If, as
1 suspect, it was deliberate, who or
ganized it? BY whose direction?
What was its purpose? Or was it
merely an expression of the Anglo
American annoyance with the Jugo-
slavs over the Trieste question and
over the fact that Jugoslavia had
got into the Russian orbit?
If the provocation had a pur-
pose, what was it? Or did it have,
perhaps, several purposes? To en-
courage the OPPOSITION TO Tito? To
intimidate the Jugoslavs generally
on account of their insistence that
Trieste rightfully belonged to Jugo-
slavia? To overcome the demorali-
zation of the American troops in
and around Trieste?
Or was there some larger mo-
tive? To take a crack at Russia
through Jugoslavia? To und6Fline
some point we are trying to make
at the Peace Conference? To justify
the coming of the carrier Franklin
Delano Roosevelt" into the Medi-
terranean, whose real mission may
bear on the Greek elections and
Dardanelles? To prevent an ad.
verse reaction at home to the re-
sumption of the draft? To prove to
the world, notably to Russia, that
the American people (uninformed,
misinformed) would support the
government in a drastic step against
the East? If so, is this the way to
develop public policy?

Such are the facts as nearly as
they can be determined at this writ
ing Aug. 28).
And our State Department, with
an alacrity it seldom showed in
dealing with Germany and Japan
jumped in with an 'ultimatum'' de-
manding that all it's terms be met
within 48 hours or the case would
be carried to the United Nations Sc
curity Council. BY the time the "ul-
timatum" had been delivered to
Tito the American survivors of the
first plane had been released and
Tito ordered that under no cir
cumstances were American planes
to be fired upon, SO that the "ulti-
matum' had become, in Tito's word,
'besprednetan'' ''-inapplicable, ir,
relevant.
And all through this period, day
and night, the radio voices over
Notwithstanding a conscious or
unconscious nostalgia for the good
old days when they were reporting
red-hot war neWs-throbbed with
drama, putting the sharpest posi-
bile construction on everything the
Jugoslavs did or might do, whip
ping up hysteria in millions of
homes. And newspapers screamed
in big headlines, the worst of them
dropping big black hints about the
atom bomb and weeping all over
again about poor Mihailovitch; and
even the more conservative ones
behaving as though this was indeed
just what they had been waiting
for to prove afresh how righteous
are we and how benighted and bar
baric all those who live to the east
of the German and Italian moral
and cultural ramparts.
It would be we'll if the New York
Times and other newspapers which
accept the role of responsible
moulders of American public opin-
ion stopped putting quotation marks
around such words as american
reactionary interests and "Ameri-
can imperialism, as though they
did not exist The words, like many
others, are over-used. But the reali-
ties of which they are the names
persist and are very fresh in the
minds of many people in eastern
Europe.
To the Jugoslavs, imperialism is
not something that went out with
Queen Victoria, brave troops
marching romantically in the jun
giles of Africa and Asia, or verses
by Rudyard Kipling. Imperialism
to them is very recent arrange
ment by which western European
investors in Jugoslav copper mines
drew an annual return of 235 per
cent of their investments while the
Jugoslav workers in those mines
natives paid the equiva-
lent of 25 cents day And Ameri-
can reactionary interest are big oil
and other corporations which, for
the favor of doing business in east
ern Europe, seem intent on draw
ing off large share of the wealth
of these countries, and which seem
to play large part in influencing
the policies of both the American
press and radio and the American
State Department.
This is not what the Jugoslavs
fought and died for. Indeed it was
just such practices, carried to an
extreme development by Germany
and Italy, that they fought and died
to resist. Americans should have no
difficulty to appreciate this: they
