CORRESPONDENTS' VIEWS.
YUGOSLAVS.
(To the Editor.)
-May 1 express my thanks ar.-i I arn sure the thanks of all the Yugoslav community in the Auckland district to "English Ex-Serviceman" for his verv generous championship of my people. ] u these days it is very easy "to fail into I the mistake of classifying all peoples |of foreign origin into one :noup potential "Fifth Columnists.*" " I am certain, however, that every Yu"os!sv citizen of this Dominion gives vided loyalty. Everyone loves the land of his origin and it is our pride and joy to remember the ancient history and traditions of our own. There is not one \ ugoslav in this country who is not the descendant of men, and" women, who through centuries and centuries fought a continual struggle against the Saracen invaders, who sought to raise the Crescent Standard over the Christian land<> of iSouth Eastern Europe. Had our fathers been made of softer fibre who knows but that the history of estern l-.urope might have been vast Indifferent. p> "
