THE BBC's YUGOSLAV SERVICE
wish as a Croat and a former Vice-Premier of a war-time Allied Governinent to take exception to the disparaging way in which Mr. Carleton Greene. Director-General of the BBC, speaks of the emigres in connection with the BBC broadcasts to Yugo- slavia.
Neither I nor any of my Croat compatriots has ever approached him or any other British official in charge of the so-called Yugoslav Section with de- nunciations of anyone on the staff in the Section.
Recruitment of staff for the Section and its com- position have been always and entirely in British hands. It is, however, no secret that the staff has never been free from mutual distrust and dishar- mony, Is it fair, therefore, of the Director-General of the BBC to throw the blame for this unhealthy state of affairs on the emigres? Moreover, the terms used by Mr. Greene in his letter regarding the emigres are far from being just and gentlemanly. It is well known that emigres are people who prefer the miseries of life in exile rather than submission to totalitarian tyranny. One need not necessarily be of their opinion but at least they deserve respect as human beings.—Yours faithfully,
