ament. The policy of the Soviet
Union was always constant in thi!
line. 1t was proved by several facts
that the Soviet Union proposed
seven times general disarmament
for all countries.
If, however, the Soviet Unior
maybe kept large troops, large
armies, you must take into consider
alton the territory of the U. S. S. R
1t was explained by the following
facts, that at that time many coun-
tries which were aggressive, which
were terroristic, existed adjacent tc
the Soviet Union. This is the ex-
PLANTATION Of why we had big
army. In spite of this fact that
there were troops, still everybody
knows that when Nazi Germany at
tackled the Soviet Union, we were
not fully modified for this, and the
first period was very hard one.
The policy Of the Soviet Union is
the same as it was, to disarm and
to demobilize as many persons as
possible, so that they may be given
to industry and agriculture which
need them badly.
Depends on Guarantees.
The question. how much can we
demobilize our Army and disarm
has the answer in the following
The answer is, it depends on how
much we can guarantee that no
new aggression will be done against
a peaceful country.
Our country and our people un-
derstand that we must have a
strong Red Army, but this Army
will be only to such extent as to
defend our borders. because every
body knows here that during the
last 30 years. our country was at
tackled by different aggressor coun-
tries which were neighboring to it;
so this is the only reason, it Is the
only motive why we must keep the
Red Armies to protect our borders
against new aggressors.
The desire of our people to protect
our country and create peaceful life
comedies with the desire of all peo-
pie of the Slavic countries, and this
depends on the general co-opera-
ton of all nations.

LONDON.-In London, as else
where, it all depends on where you
stand whether Gen. Mihailovich is a
traitor to Yugoslavia or hero.
Left wingers and Communists, of
course, instantly indict him for COL
laboration with the Germans, but
the evidence, here at least, is more
emotional and political than factu-
ally conclusive.
Not even the most rabid oppo-
nent of Marshal Tito, Mihailovich' S
captor, denies that many Chetnik
officers Immediately surrounding
Mihailovich gave unblushing open
support to the Germans, either be-
cause of hatred for Tito or because
of fear of Russia-or both.
The actual support which Mihail-
ovich himself may have provided the
Germans in Yugoslavia remains
foggy enough to give him the full
benefit of the doubt.
British officers who served at Mi
hailovich's headquarters before the
British military mission was with
drawn, after the Teheran Confer
ence. agree that they saw no such
evidence of collaboration.
Their insistence on trying to ap-
pear on Mihailovich's behalf at his
trial already has forced Foreign
Minister Bevin into a cautious and
embarrassed statement before the
House of Commons and moro nointed
questions will be asked soon.

notwithstanding to evidence
which the Russians submitted at
Nuremberg, Gen. Mihailovich re-
ceived both money and munitions
from the Nazis and was deeply i'm
plicated in NaZi intrigue.
This evidence, which came from
a Yugoslav government document
book and included substantiating
testimony by a Yugoslav collabora-
tor who later committed suicide, ap-
peared impressive when it was in
troduced.
Unless something comes up to
disprove squarely those accusations
I do not see how Mihailovich could
be classified as anything but a
traitor.

No Opposition Arise,
10 Austra|ia's S Plea
For Franco Inquiry
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 20-Australia' s
proposal for an investigation OF
Franco Spain by the United Nations
security Council appeared tonight
TO be headed toward almost certain
approval when the Council resumes
discussion of the Spanish question
next week.
Strong support of the proposed
Inquiry was assured when it became
Apparent that advocates of an i'm
meliate worldwide diplomatic
break with Spain were lining up
behind it.
The first nation to announce
publicly that it would support the
motion Of Australian Delegate w.
R. Hodgson was Mexico, one of the
most ardent hackers of the Polish
move for a diplomatic quarantine
of the regime of Generalissimo
Franco.
Called Good Compromise"
Mexican Foreign Minister Fran
cisco Castillo Najera said in Wash
ington that the Australian proposal
was good compromise" and an
nounced that Mexico would sup
port it.
DR.. Oscar Lange, Polish delegate,
sponsor Of the original resolution
calling for an immediate break with
Spain, was reported earlier to have
assured Col. Hodgson of Polands
support.
1t had already been generally con-
ceded that M. Lange's resolution
was doomed to defeated if it ever
came to a vote.
Russia and France, the other two
advocates of a diplomatic break, re-
mained silent on their plans, but it
was believed they would support
the Hodgson compromise.
Under this plan, a five-man COM
mlttee would be appointed to de-
termine whether the Franco regime
was a threat to world peace. The
committee would be required to re-
port back by May II.
No Immediate Opposition.
While some of the delegations
would not commit themselves, pend
ing further study of the proposal,
the plan was generally we'll received.
There was no immediate opposition
from any quarter.
The Spanish question, which al
ready has been the subject of two
days of bitter debate, is not ex-
pected to come up before Wednes-
day. Ahead of it on the agenda is
the controversial Iranian question
which will be taken up when the
Council reconvenes at 3 pm. Tues
day.
Delegates expressed the belief that
the Iranian question would be dis
posed of quickly by voting down
Russias proposal to delete the case
from the agenda.

On Traitor Label
For Mihai|ovich

Gen. Draja Mihailovich is 9
prisoner of Marshal Tito and soor
will be tried. There has been much
discussion as to whether or not the
Chetnik leader is a traitor or q
patriot.
Mihailovich today is IS and OF
medium build. His eyes are blue
and his hair curly and shot with
gray. He wears glasses but is an
excellent shot with a rife.
American officers attached tc
his headquarters found him an un-
usually charming, plain, simple
man, deeply religious and with a
sense Of humor that never seemed
to fail him.
In the field he always wore Eng
lish battle dress and boots and car
ried field glasses given him by
Field Marshal Lord Alexander. He
ate lightly. He also outmarched
many younger men with only a dry
chunk of bread under his belt.
A chain smoker in the field, he
had two or three American lighters
to which he was partial.
His democratic manners were
carried over to his men and the
peasants in the areas in which he
fought. The peasants called him
"chicha," the equivalent to uncle"
or the old man." 1t was a title
he preferred to general.
In an effort to throw some light
on whether or not Mihailovich is
a traitor, the Chicago Daily News
Foreign Service has asked Wallace
R. Deuel. of its Washington bureau
and some of it's European corre-
spondents for their opinions. They
follow:
By Wallace R. Deuel.
Gen. Draja Mihailovich was more
sinned against than SHINING during
the war-if he did sin-in the judg-
ment of people here who should
know.
Responsible and well-informed
men in Washington make these
points in Mihailovich's favor:
First, Mihailovich joined the anti
Axis forces which revolted against
the deal the Yugoslav government
made with Hitler in the spring Of
1941.
Second, the Allies were unable to
give Yugoslavia any effective help
for more than two years. This
means that Mihailovich was strictly
on his own in situation that often
looked utterly hopeless.
View Has Supporters.
Third, Mihailovich took the posi-
ton that it would be suicidal folly
for him to engage in large-scale
operations unless and until the AL
lies could come to his rescue, and
there is sympathy here for this
view.
Fourth, by the time the Allies
were able to send effective help to
the Yugoslavs, Tito had moved into
the country under circumstances
which gave him enormous advan-
tages over Mihailovich.
America and Britain, as we'll as
the Soviets, therefore gave more and
more help to Tito, since they were
working on the theory that they
didn't care what a mans politics
were. so long as he killed lots of
Germans.
However. Mihailovich continued to
be useful to the Allies. For example,
he and his forces made it possible to
get approximately 600 United States
flyers out of Yugoslavia who had
been shot down or forced down.
Finally, we'll = informed sources
here say they know of no credible
evidence-as distinct from propa-
ganda claims-that Mihailovich ever
collaborated with the Axis.

time at the front line.
Difficult to Reach.
I don't know how it was in the
American front line, but the front
line of the Russian Armies was very
hard and some times it was difficult
to get to some points.
1t is more difficult for me to speak
about the work of the press and the
newspapers because I, again, work
more with books, but I know from
some general facts that American
journalists are admitted to Russia
at different points. For instance,
Journalist Ralph Parker, though he
works also for the American news
papers, for the New York Times,
was in many places in Russia. He
was in re-established Stalingrad, he
was in some other places, in Kiev
and in Leningrad.
don't know, maybe there were
some delays in getting permission to
get to some points in Russia. Such
mistakes do occur, of course. I give
you the example of our arrival in
America just yesterday. We came
here at your invitation, but all
passengers were permitted to land
and we were kept at the customs
house for long time. The bureau
cratic machinery is everywhere the
same.
I am sure I express the opinion
of my two colleagues that the more
American journalists come to our
country, the better it will be for
them and for us. I want to say that
for the journalists, for the news
paper workers, there are no secrets
in our country. Every one can go
and see what he wants to see. How
ever, there are in every country
secrets, but it is not the job of the
Journalists to find out about the
secrets.
