New York. and Toronto. have been attributed to Yugoslavian. partisanswho oppose that nations current rulers. . ThisNation has become a refuge for agreat many persons who.have found it expedientfor one reason or another to leave their former homelands. Refugees are not expected to cast off their ties impersonally with their mother countries. nor are they enjoined from making their views on foreign affairs known through peaceable channels. But they are expected to obey the laws of their host country. When individuals flout the law and take matters into their own hands. they do more than subject themselves to the full weight of U.S. authority. They do harm to the image of the United States as a haven. and they cast a cloud over the countless other immigrants who are decent. lawabiding citizens in the highest tradition of this country. I am confident that the American and Canadian authorities will do their best to apprehend the culprits and that if they are successful. the bombers will receive full justice under the very system of law they have abused. - The people of Yugoslavia may rest assured that these acts of vandalism do not reflect the feelings of the American people.
