– For a Lasting Peace, For a People’s Democracy –
Yugoslav students now political emigrants in Bulgaria have organized a work brigade which they have named after Arso Jovanović. The brigade has decided to help with the construction of Dimitrovgrad, the new town being built by the Bulgarian youth.
The members of the brigade sent a letter to the Central Committee of the People’s Youth League in which they express their desire to take part in laying the foundations of socialism in Bulgaria.
In their letter the Yugoslav students write: “The Tito gang in Yugoslavia has thwarted our desire and eagerness to build socialism, to build a better life for the people of Yugoslavia, undaunted by difficulties and relying on the powerful and consistent defender of small nations — the USSR — and on the wise leader of the world proletariat, Comrade Stalin.
“By their treacherous activity, chauvinist propaganda and the murder of Bulgarian border patrols, these Titoites, traitors to the democratic front are undermining the militant and fraternal friendship between the Bulgarian and Yugoslav peoples.
“We consider that the great cause of socialism which the working people of Bulgaria and her people’s youth are building is also our cause and that is why we want to give our fraternal help to the Bulgarian people.
“We are happy and proud to have the opportunity to take part in building the town which bears the name of Georgi Dimitrov.”
