' conviction either PAGE THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1928 KING ALEXANDER TRUE JUGO-SLAV Probably Only One in Balkan Kingdom Today Fageeb, Jugo Slavia, Aug. 25.--In all the maze of racial cultural and itical clashes which constitute the bian-Croatian crisis there is a single 'all-important question to which no official, either here or in Bel- grade, has even the pretext of an answer. Repeatedly have responsible leaders been asked, "what will come of it?" where will this Croatian re- volt lead you to?" but invariably the response has been the same--"1 don't now." ; ne the other hand, Belgrade offi- cials stubbornly insist that the Croa- tian discontent must die down and the .85 Croatian deputies return to the government fold. On the other hand, Croat, spokesmen state with that "the ~ Croats must be given complete equality with the Serbs or, varying the phraseolo- gy, that Croatia must be iree. Both expressions mean the same thing, yet neither approximates even dimly a solution. ; Serbs and Croats alike are agreed, it seems, that the solution is not yet. Therein is packed all the potential dynamite of this Balkan kingdom is truly split by secession as the United States was before the civil war, That is what makes of Jugo Slavia today quite as much of a powderkeg threat- ening European stability as Albania, by virtue of a treaty of Tirana, has become, In the kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes you find unanimity on one thing only--that there is no un- animity, And yet he who seeks for some hopeful sign amidst this Croa- tian pull away from Belgrade finds it in the most unexpected quarter, Serb by Blood It is in the person of Alexander I of Jugo Slavia--a king who is Serb by blood and tradition. It has been said by many--in fact, the king him- self is credited with having first made the statement--that "Alexander is the only true Jugo Slav." Alexander, from the day he ac- cepted the throne of the post-war Slavic trinity, has proved the truth of this utterance, He has been nei- ther Serb, Croat nor Slovene, but Jugo Slavian; and in the present most delicate and frequently bitter situa- tion Alexander has remained Jugo Slavian, He has shown himself above parties and above intrigues. Perhaps no fiiner tribute to his fairness is possible than the fact that the king TIME TABLES CPR, TIME TABLE, New Schedule, taking effect 12.01 Sunda, 3 Te Ar Going West 5.48 a.m, Daily, 6.23 a.m, Daily, 8.40 a.m, Daily except Sunday. 38 p.m, Daily, 7.34 p.m. Dail gxcept Sunday, ' t 10.05 a.m, Daily, 2.04 p.m, Daily except Sunday. 8,08 p.m, Daily except Sunday, 11,10 p,m, Daily, 12.09 a.m, Daily, 5 All times shown above are times trains depart from Oshawa Station, CNR, TIME TABLE Effective June 24, 19 sl times given are Standard og Eastbound 8.23 am.

In - 8 7, a £ i 1 HHH i EEbuzeit TT 3 FERRE - today is the only prominent Serb who is genuinely popular in Croatia. Despite all the rumbles for equal- ity, for autonomy, for a free confed- erate state, there is not a single Croa- tian with a criticism against Alexan- der nor with complaints against him as man or monarch. The reason for this is that Alexander has always tried to compromise the Croat-Serb differences so far as his powers would | allow. All his efforts have been di- rected toward preserving unity and allaying friction. Even such a courageous and tact ful king as Alexander could not wipe away Croat causes for discontent, but he has won Croat respect, ad- miration and love. The consequence is that if any one man can intervene to solve the split between Zagreb and Belgrade, it seems that Alexander must be the man. Today that task appears too staggering and too com- plicated for any real hope that the king might accomplish it. But at least in all the conflict he must be looked on as the Jugo Slav na- tional symbol. The Croatians' quarrel is not with him, but with the Serbs from whom he sprang. Perhaps the chief reason why no one ventrues to predict what will evolve from the Croatian revolt in Jugo Slavia is because no one knows how far the Croats will dare to go. Will they continue their policy of passive abstention from the Belgrade Government? Will the Croat lead- ers take it upon themselves to set up an automous state of their own, defying Serbian authority? Will the Croats allow themselves to be so provoked as to resort to physical re- taliation for Raditch's death? All these questions might be an- swered affirmatively in the end, or none of them might, But each pos- sibility bristles with disquieting po- tentialities--most of all the third, For it is by no means inconceivable that some Croat peasant turned fanatical by grief and resentment over the unusually cold-blooded murder of Croatia's hero, who in death has as- sumed demigod proportions, should resort to vengeance upon Serbian leaders if the present deadlock is permitted to remain a stalemate too long. And for any further violence there would be bound to be retalia- ions. Serbian Justice : Much also rests upon how severely Serbian justice deals with the Monte- negrin deputy who killed Raditch and his two Croatian comrades. The sit- uation of Jugo Slavia today is not one breathing confidence, nor one wherein Belgrade can afford to seek refuge in blindness to Zagreb's com- plaints, Some observers find optimism in the words "Crotia has no place to go." But when this remark is made, it fails to take account of the Croat's view of the affairs, which is, "we have no place to stay." One of the soundest observations made in Jugo Slavia was that made by a resident of long acquaintance with both Croats and Serbs. While admitting the power and iron will to dominate of the Serbs, he added: "What Crotia needs today to make her revolt truly menacing--and the only thing she néeds, for that matter --is a young and inspired leader. Not a fanatic of the Raditch type, but a | man who is not a politician with an | axe to grind, but a Croatian patriot with a sincerity 'capable of solidify- ing the peasants' resistance." That is perhaps the most import- ant part of the peasant party's un- determined future, Granted such a leader, even a promise of new elec- tion and an amended constiution muy 1 (1927) Essex Coupe Chadburn Motor Co.

It should be remarked also that the next regular elections in Jugo Slavia, since the last were held in September, 1927, are not due until 1931. No responsible official here presumes that the present state of revolt in Croatia can drag on three more years as it exists today without trouble or a settlement of one sort or another. Italy's Connection There is but one more phase of the Serb-Croat controversy which cannot be overlooked by any student of Balkan unrest. That is the discon certing manner in which Italy's Bal- kan aspirations enter into all Jugo Slavia's tangled affairs. Anti-Fascist manifestations recently occuring in Sebenico merely serve to demon- strate how bitterly Crotia and Dal- matia resent Mussolini's hand in the Balkans. The new privileges granted to Italians living on the Dalmatian coast by the newly ratified Nettuno conventions have dangerously fanned this resentment, To all their previous complaints the Croatian have now added another-- that Belgrade fails to give to Jugo Slav subjects the rights and protec- tion that they merit against Rome's encroachment. Even if the Croat's may not be strong enough to break down the Serb's supremacy in the kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, they arc strong cnough to so tread on Italy's toes as to preci- pitate an international crisis at any moment. There is reason enough for tact and discretion at Belgrade. Half Orient and half Occident, the Jugo Slav kingdom is face to face with the ever bajging problem © of making east meet west. In the solu- tion of that problem, or capitulation to it, lies the perpetuation or event- ual disintegration of the kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, in which Alexander I, is the only true Jugo Slav, PROTESTS AGAINST VACCINATION RULE Mgr. Bouffard Asks School Commission to Cancel Regulation Quebec, Aug. 24. -- Compulsory vaccination in the schools under the jurisdiction of the Quebec Catholic School Commission came in for some withering criticsm at tihe last meet- ing of the Commission, Mgr. Bouf- fard, of St. Malo, writing the com- mission to protest against the com- pulsory vaccination of children. His letter stated that last year from 60 to 70 children at St. Malo had been refused admission to school because of the regulation calling for compulsory vaccination before en- tering school, and in consequence had lost two months' attendance at school. The Commission, however, decided to maintain the regulation in force as long as the Council of Public In- struction retained it, SUMMER HOME FOR POPE URGED| Possibility That Pontiff May Break Confinement to Vatican Rome, Aug. 24.--Discussion of the possibility that the Pope may break his self-imposed confinement to the Vatican grounds, observed by the was revived yesterday The state of Pope Pius' health led fo serious consideration of establish- ing a summer home for the Pontiff. His physicians have warned the Vatican Chancellery that another summer spent in the Vatican may impare his health seriously. This has been an exceptionally hot summer in Rome, and since mid-July the Pope has been forced to abandon his open-air | exercise, even in the evenings. He was quoted as saying to an adviser: "As soon as I enter the gardens I feel as though I were inhaling trop- ical air, making breathing most dif- ficult." $6 2 buys six room brick ? house, 26" by 25' on lot 35' by 170" central, hardwood floors, stationary washtubs, elec- tric stove, fixtures, verandah ecur- tains, etc. Frame garage.
