". . . My experience of Jugo-Slavia was limited to Croatia which I left in March of this year & from which I have had no news since. On my return to this country I wrote two letters to the 'Times' newspaper signed 'A British soldier lately in Jugo-Slavia'; I also put all the information I had at the disposal of the editor of 'The Tablet' who has made effective use of it. (I do not know whether you ever see that valuable journal.) I also made a full report on the question of the Catholic Church in Croatia to the Foreign Office, which I believe has been fairly circulated. In an interview with Lord Burnham I was expressly forbidden to show this report to any private individuals.
"I do not know what a private member of Parliament,--or indeed a Minister--can do about the grave crimes that are being committed in Jugo-Slavia. A British Conservative Government armed and officially recognized the Communist revolution. A Conservative Government condoned the annexation of Lithuania . . . . When that was done I sequestered myself from all political allegiance and rejoice at the party's swift humiliation. I do not think Mr. [Ernest] Bevin would have dared, or wishes, to betray our friends as Mr. Churchill & Mr. Eden did. . . ."
