Brother Mandich Regrets certain mis-statements
brother Krasich stated that in spite of Sec
ton H. and in spite of Section IT, the rights naming the
committees belongs Chairman the contrary broth
Krasch stated quite definitely that in compliance with
Section Ia and in compliance with Section H. the naming
of convention committees belongs the Chair which
whoever the chair that time and since there only
one Chairman according to our BvI avs that Chairman has
right the committees He then proceeds read
Sections IA and II in English Section IA quite clear where
that the Supreme President is the Chairman of the
Convention is Section IT, where he all committees.
Selecting and naming committees two different things
The that brother Krasch not consulted continued
brother Mandich that he made statements the Of
cal Organ that he shall have nothing to do with the Su
preme President Also the question of joining the lodges
Krasch did agree to do this with the Supreme President
which not done. Although not complaining about
done by brother Krasch alone Therefore, why should
consult with brother Krasch the matter of NAM
ing committees for the Convention?
Brother Krasich - The Croatian version plural
pertains Section H. and when any translation not
clear there is any ambiguity the Croatian text pre-
walls It's that the President did not receive the
list of combined lodges he had several days to check
the list but did not do You asked for only change
to be made continued brother Krasch and that request
granted.
The President is stating incorrectly that l. any
of the Supreme Board Members and Officials have writ
ten stated that do not have anything to do with him
the President of the Croatian Fraternal Union
He knows that his statements incorrect but that
does not hinder him from constant repetition of In
the June issue of the Zaedncar it stated: "The
Group Fraterna Brotherhood Zajednicarsko Bratstvo
has it's candidates and does have connections
with the Group of brother Mandch and his associates
That is something else than what the President states
AS the President of the Croaan Faterna Unon he gets
daily cooperation from all Board Members and Officials
which he cannot in any way prove to the contrary.
