UNWILLING REPATRIATES
PRESSURE BROUGHT TO BEAR N.Z.P.A.—Copyright SYDNEY, Jan. 17. Pressure from Yugoslavia has been brought to bear on local Yugoslavs now returning by the steamer Partizanka to Yugoslavia. This was revealed by a man who is leaving by the ship, which sails on Monday. Asked if he was happy to be returning home, he shrugged his shoulders, and in halting English said: “ I do not want to leave. I have a mother and father in Yugoslavia. I have been told I will have to go over to them or they will suffer.” He said that for months propaganda had been put out throughout Australia that Yugoslavia under Marshal Tito was a paradise on earth.
