It was evidently a carefully coordinated. and longplanned act of sabotage which authorities in these matters believe has something to do with internal political or sectional rivalries in Yugoslavia. Whoever is involved or whatever is involved. I am sure the FBI and Canadian authorities will investigate. find the perpetrators. and see to it that they are brought to justice. .It appears to me that. all too often. immigrant refugees show more interest in events affecting the countries- from which they came rather than thie country--our ownwhich has given them a haven and offers them citizenship. I. do not criticize nationality groups and neighborly associations which seek to ease the adjustment of newly arrived immigrants into American life and to make certain that their welfare -is not neglected. . But some Organizations are trying to keep alive a double loyaltywhich is impossible. It is one thing to try .to retain a remembrance of the many distinct.human roots which make up the great cultural heritage of the American people. As the firstborn son of Irish immigrants. I can appreciate this. It is another thing to ptomote among more recent arrivals in this country as refugees or regular immigrants a double loyalty or a primary loyalty to a foreign government or.-. for that matter. its .oppositioh. Organizations..which concern themselves with national groupings are either. Americans first and always and should so conduct themselves or. if they are not. they should be evaluated in their true light. �
