The labor government in Great Britain it being belabored

has the ir.vective become both in the press and in parliament
that a motion is pending in the commons to investigate the

Sip.fie ownership of newspaper properties has gone much

STT.dli.- groups of papers.

Cham operations of newspapers run into th same critl

from a financial standpoint as in other types of

WASHINGTON, July 20 The
final defense of MihaUovitch, the
hero of the Chetniks. was little
reported In this country. Ameri
can popular Interest in him wan
ed when he was reported to have
"admitted acts of collaboration'
with the enemy during the war.
Of such a character is our acute
sense of Justice. But in this case
it has been successfully abused
and misled.
MihaUovitch spoke for four
hours from notes he had mad
for 30 days, end
ing his speech at
midnight, with
this final ac
counting from
an anti-naxi re
sistance, soldier:
"I had against
me a competi
tive organization
the communist
party which seieks
its aims without
compromise. I
raal
was faced w t h
changes In my own government
and accuser! of connections with
every poasihle secret service, en
emy and allied. I believed I was
on tha rl:ht road and called on
any foreign Journalist or red army
mission to visit me Snd see every
thing. But fate was merciless to
me when ft threw me Into this
maelstrom (between the western
democracies and Russia). I want
ed much. I started much, but the
gale1 of the world carried me away
from my work."
Tariarea Farced Can few ions
This is a Serbian soldier of re
sistance, far from the early time
when he and the British alone
were resisting the nails but Rus
sia was not. speakinc after clever
communist torture In a mockery
of trials which could find a coun
terpart only; In the Moscow trea
son trials for Russian propaganda
purposes. The methods of torture
which broke his mind, have been
frequently 'described In books
available at our librariei'V (Ian
ValUn's 'Out of the Night") . Thus
was the Slavic temperament and
mind led to confess anything his
captors wished for their purposes
of propaganda in strengthening
the disliked Tito government in
Yugoslavia and. for effect upon
people throughout the Balkans.
(Our own house foreign affairs
sub-committee says Tito was edu
cated in Russia, was a soldier of
the red army and rules Yugoslav
ia for tha communists by machine
guns, although he has the volun
tary support of only 15 to 19 per
rent of his cities and "from 5 per
cent down; to zero per cent" of
villagers and farmers.)
Before the "trial" of the Chet
nik commander-in-chief on our
side up to December 1845 his com
munist party adversary Tito went
to Moscow. With him he took his
military leaders and the head of
his secret police the Ozana. A
full military agreement was
reached (Tito can contribute
800.000 in tne army to any Rus
sian cause) and: a propaganda
agreement for MihaUovitch.
Cefsrt Opssesl Tile's Officers
This Is the same Tito govern
ment which later Informed our
state department tha crimes of
MihaUovitch, before tha trial, had
been judged to be "too great and
terrible for any discussion," or
for American testimony. It's for
eign minister had announced be
fore the trie! (May 11): " MihaUo
vitch will be shot."
The Russians took no chances on
it. The three members of the
"court" were officers from the Ti
to army, and members of the com
munist party. The spectators hiss
ed and booed statements, such as
the truthful assertion of a defense
attorney that the law under which
the men were being tried was
made up by the communist gov
ernment after the supposed
"crimes" were committed. The
verdict of death for MihaUovitch
was cheered.
Criticises Brings Expalsion
The whole situation in the communist-ridden
Balkans has been
asserted by a Christian Science
Monitor correspondent who was
expelled, -Reuben Markham. be
ing accused 'privately by the Rus
sians with collaboration against
them because of his reports. He
said:
"The worst that any tryant ever
did in the way of violence, ter
ror, suppression or freedom' is be
ing matched by the communist
dominated f governments of Bul
garia and Rumania. Russian-imposed
dictatorial methods include
concentration camps and legal
massacre of opponents. The courts
are a travesty of justice and peo
ple are killed by the thousands.
. . '. An extremely unpopular re
gime is determined thus to compel
an unwilling nation to vote for
it." This is the condition of all
the, Balkans, Rumania and Bul
garia now being involved lnpeace
treaties which the twenty-one na
tions are to raUfy and thus pledge
world approval, and perpetual
help' through UNO to enforce by
arms.
"Trial Came When Captared
MihaUovitch was nof'tried" in
Belgrade. TheCP tried him when
it captured him in March, and
staged the Belgrade show to scare
the ; people: and strengthen the CP
regime, as It did in Moscow be
fore the war.
What was tried in Belgrade was
Russia and communism. In evi
dence, with her methods and tech
niques, her foolish attempt to ape
Anglo-Saxon justice with a staged
"trial," her inferiority complex
taking refuge in barbarian is ra. in
which it framed the whole bench
and broke the mind of a 39 year
old Serbian general to create an
Anglo-Saxon excuse for a Russian
propaganda death.
When the Spaniards landed in
Paraguay in 1503, it is said that
natives came forth to oppose them
by throwing water and blowing
strong tobacco smoke in their eyes.

la:S3 A little boy tells each of these
fictional accounts In the first per
son. In "Homeland" it's a Swiss;
in "Grandfather Objects," an
American.
White the American's parents
go to England, he is left with his
grandfather on a farm. Other
characters are an Interfering
grandmother on the other side of
the family, a woman with a south
ern accent, an artist in water col
or, a chauffeur with a jail record.
Incidents include a blrhlday par
ty where the children spoil their
pretty clothes, a runaway horse,
a still operated under the sheriff's
nose, rivalry about melon patches,
a manure pile of which horse and
cow contents have to be separated,
and a toilet seat spread liberally
with glue. The grandfather hav
ing a broken leg. is of course a
funny as a crutch.
The hero of "Homeland" is Ar
thur Gardoz, son of a big family.
The father, a watchmaker, moves
wife and children from village to
village as he changes jobs. Arthur
has some fights snd. as befits the
hern, wins them. He religiously
does what he is told not to. Fath
er has a weakness for wine and
women and indulges them, and is
regularly foifglven by his wife,
who thinks they prove he's a big,
lovable boy.
However, there are a few rather
touching pages, particularly those
describing the death of a brother
and a sister. You sorrow, too, with
the mother for the eldest son and
daughter, who go off to America,
a land she finds forbidding, an
alien land that constantly tempts
her husband and children away
from the homeland. And there are
good bits about Radiquet. the re
formed smuggler whose wife loses
her love for him when he stops
beating her; and about the old
artillery horse that joins the pa
rade. On the whole, however, these
novels fall Into the class of "light
summer reading," which is one
notch below doctor's-waiting-room
fiction. On the jacket covers,
the optimistic publisher hails
them both aa "hilarious," but per
haps he meant two other books.
