(ByE.Christitch.)
ThecollapseoftheCoalitionGover atBelgrade.withtheconsequentdissolutionoftheSkupshtina 'Parliament),anddecreefornewelections,bringsgeneralrelieftothecomplicatedsituationinJugo-slavia.That wingofthelateCoalitionCabinet whichhaddistinguisheditselfbyits hostilitytoCatholicshasnoplacein thepresentprovisionalGovernment, whichisformed.however,ofOrthodox Serbs.withoneexception,aDalmatian Catholic.MostoftheseSerbshail fromtheformerKingdomofSerbia, andnotfromthelandslatelybelonging toAustria-Hungary,whereantagonism hasnotvetsubsidedbetweenSerbs andCroats.AmongthenewministersareseveraladherentsofSteyan Pretitchwhohasalwaysshownfair playtoCatholicsandrecognisesthe factthat,indealingwithCroatia,Catholicinterestsdarenotbeoverlooked.
TheinternalproblemsoftheKingdomofSerbs,Croats,andSlovenes maybegatheredfromthefollowing summaryofamanifestojustissuedby theCatholic,orPopularParty,whose leaderisaSolvenepriest,theRev. AntonKoroshets:
"ThePopularPartyhasconsistently advocatedlocalautonomyinpolitical, economicalandculturalfields,forall branchesofournation. Ourcampaignwasopposedbyadeceptive.demagogicgroup,thatstrainedafterthe unattainable,anddeludedthepeople ofCroatia.Differentpoliticalparties nowrecognisethejusticeofourstandpointthatfraternalunderstanding cannotbereachedeitherbycrudecentralisationthatmakesonebranchof theraseparamount,orbyamputation ofanymemberfromtherest;bothof whichpoliciesplayintothehandsof ournationalenemies. Thebulkof theDemocrats,thatis,oftheSerb Centralistsnowrealisethatagreement betweenCroatsandSerbsisindispensabletosuccessfulGovernnesnt;and disputesastothebestmethodsofreconciliationhavecausedthedisintegrationoftheDemocraticparty.Thus havefaredtheSerbianCentralists,and theirhandfulofCroatandSlovene abettors.NowfortheSeparatistsor protagonistsofaCroatpeasantrepublic.These,undertheinsistentpressureofthePopularparty,haveabandonedpassivityandactuallytriedto cometotermswithasectionofthe DemocraticCentralistsinordertosub. stitutefortheirillusoryrepublica specialformofCroatautonomy.Their vacillationsandincapacitystandrevealedbeforethenation.
Again,theAgriculturalpartywhich supportedtheCentralistsdarenot showitselfto-dayinasingleCroat village;whiletheunworthySlovenes whoclaimedtodobetterforSlovenia thanthe"Clerical"partyhavecome togriefonthematteroftheirown personaladvancement.ThePopular partystandsforcompletereligious equality,andtoleranceinthewidest sense.Itfearlesslycombatedthe "PulpitClause,"whichhamperedministersofallcreedsintheexerciseof theirduties.Itfoughtagainstthe unjustsuppressionoftheMarianCongregations,theSoladities,whichwere ofapurelydevotionalnature.and againstStateneglectofCatholicculturalfoundations,restrictedintheir activitiesforlackofmeans.Thelate GovernmentwentsofarinitsantiCatholicpolicyastoforbidpriestsof theVoyvodina,formerlyaprovinceof Hungary,fromteachingcatechismin theschools.ItdelayedtheappointmentofBishopstovacantSees,and stintedtheallowancetotheclergy whileStatemoneywasspentinassistinganti-CatholicagitationinCzechoslovakia.Governmentagentswere alsosenttounderminetheloyaltyof theUniatesorGreekCatholicsinthe Carpathianswhoareincommunion withRome.Juvenileorganisations foundedonanon-religiousbasiswere encouraged,whilesimilarorganisations ofCatholicswereignored.
