Item #265906
With a TLS to Ambassador Winant from Major W.M. Jones, Head of the Allied Military Misson, about the ceding of Trieste to Italy, “To allow this pre-eminently Slovene city to be ceded once more to Italy would be a double blunder of the first magnitude … The Italians we must remember invaded Jugoslavia in this war with the direct purpose of subjugating, if not exterminating all Jugoslavs and taking possession of their land … In the name of simple justice if for no other reason, the Jugoslavs have a just claim to the return of their native soil …”.
