ABSTRACT
The political differences which to-day separate the militarist Pan-Serbian dictatorship on the one hand and the democratic Croat nation (with which is associated the Slovenes and other minorities within the Yugoslav state) on the other, arise from, and are the consequence of, a deep moral and cultural gulf which separates the Serbian state from the peasant nations brought within the new frontiers of “Yugoslavia” in 1919. Those frontiers, it has been said, were created by bad faith and broken pledges, and have ever since been maintained by violence directed against defenceless populations.
