Truly the British Press has in this case been true to its great traditions and high ethical principles. But as even a frank policy of persecution did not prove Swift enough in bringing about the desired goal, Austria Hungary's official policy has hit upon the plan of starving out the Jugoslavs. In Bosnia, Hercegovina, Dalmatia, and Istria the population is already dying of hunger. As Croatia and Slavonia are in rather a better position as regards food, the Croatian Sabor decided last summer that any available surplus should in the first place be sent to the above-mentioned provinces. According to authentic information derived through the J ugoslav colony in Geneva, 200 railway trucks were loaded in Zagreb last September with foodstuffs for Dalmatia. At the last moment the consignment was by a Government order diverted to Vienna. To the vehement protests of the Dalmatians a highly placed German official in Vienna brutally replied: We Germans come first. And in reply to the resolution of the Croatian Sabor, Croatia was proclaimed a war zone at the instance of the Military High Command, all foodstuffs being thereby placed at the disposal of the military authorities.
