dramatically in the case of

Justice

iUuOUGSIOU JUSTICE
Recently a food of Dutch
propaganda in the form of ar
ticleS, letters to the editor and
even paid advertisements has
delused the press of America
with regard to the trial in In
doneSia of Leon N. H. Jung
Schlaeger. While thousands of
words have appeared in the
press about the Jungschlaeger
case. there has been a strange
silence concerning a miscar-
riage of justice in West Irian
New Guinea which occurred
in November. 1855. involving
81 Indonesian citizens accused
of stirring up a revolt"
In the West Irian case,
Dutch injustice was sure, swift
and terribly irretrievable.
There is no evidence that even
the pretenSe of trial was
held. When the Indonesian
government tried to send de-
Tense counsels Soejoedi and

were denied by the Dutch au-
thorities. Even impartial OBJ
servers were barred. Secrecy
is the handmaiden of tyranny.
Eight Indonesians were SEN
fenced to death; no informa-
ton at all is available on seven
other prisoners: and Is were
sentenced to two to six years
imprisonment in Hollandia,
West Irian.
Compare this judicial brutal
ity with the conduct of the
JungSchlaeger trial. The in
dictment of Jungschlaeger and
his associates was available for
all to see. His trial has been
public. Observers from the
embassies of the United States,
Great Britain and the Neither
lands have been present
throughout the proceedings.
Also present have been rep

newspapers and press associa-
tionS. In short, the public ma
ture of a criminal trial, so
necessary to the functioning of
a democracy, is absolutely OBJ
served in the Jungschlager
matter.
The JungSchlaeger trial. in
cidentally, is conducted under
the rules of Dutch Law. CThiS
law. bequeathed by the Dutch
colonial government TO the In
donesianS, is still in effect
except that it now applies TO
Dutchmen and native Indo-
nesians alike
There has been no decision

unconcealed from the world.
On the other hand. consider
Dutch justice as handed out in
West Irian. The accused had
no counsel and no right to a
public trial: in fact. not even
the names OF the accused are
given. Eight Indonesians in
West Irian are dead. executed

Faced with a collapsing ag-

country to admit Communi-

has seen almost day-to-day

away. The streets are almost
devoid of automobiles, even
of bicycles.
The shops, though well
stocked, tell their own story
of the country's plight. A
small bath towel costs 1000
dinars ($3.33); a mans shirt,
1925; a mans suit, $100.
You learn that the fac

three months to buy that
suit.
A radio assembled in Yugo-

A bicycle, Yugoslav-made,

which has become an impor-
tant part of the Society's ef-
fort to make both the men,

conscious of the Croatian
Fraternal Union will b e
staged in McKeesport, Pa,
at the Capitol Alleys, SIS

tournament being Saturday
afternoon, April u, 1857.
The schedule calls for the
youngsters to begin bowling
at 100 pm. and the second
squad taking to the alleys
when this group has compile
ted theirs. Bowling will be
confined to three games in a
five-man event with the
scores rolled by the individual
Junior in these three games
being considered for doubles
and singles championships.
With the Croatian Frater-
nal Union paying for the
Juniors bowling in his tour
nament, furnishing the cham
pionship trophies and adding
to the Juniors victory party,
we are certain that this Off
cial announcement will get
you the parent and the nest
manager to organizing at
least one girls team and that
which is easier, one of boys
to represent your Nest.
There are several months
to make these preparations
and we hope that many Nests

ing caters, especially, will be
entered. That you have not
entered previously should be
all the more reason to begin
