LOOTING IN TRIESTE.
(Rec. 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, May 30. The failure of the Yugoslavs to prevent looting, and to provide adequate food complicates the situation in Trieste. The Trieste correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph” says that the Yugoslav official policy is to respect private property, but it is not respected by the wilder elements in the Slovene peasantry, or the more undisciplined elements of the Yugoslav Army. Troops and peasants have stripped Italian-owned houses on the hills above Trieste of all their goods and furnishings. Italian families are eager to let the British have their houses to prevent their being “requisitioned” by the Yugoslavs.
