'■■ BY SAFE HAND ! .* ■ Dear Mr. Halpern: On October 16 Mr. Sichel wrote to Mr. Glazebrook" ■ of this Department to obtain some information regarding the "I " progress of the Yugoslav recruiting mission which has been set up in Windsor, Ontario, under Colonel Savich. I spoke to " . 1 . . Major Leal, Liaison Officer with the Foreign Forces, about ! ' P this yesterday. Leal had recently made a brief tour of "7 V the foreign forces establishments and had spent two days in i .3 , Windsor with Colonel Savitch. - ■ He described Saviteh as a 100 per x ' cent' Serf, who fought in the last war and, pilfer to the German’ " . attack on Yugoslavia, lad been Chief of Air Staff. S® was one . of the three leaders in the coup against Prince Paul and had V coperated closely in this action withSimovic. . . . • ' ' ■ -0. ■ " *, , The Yugoslav camp is to be part of the Polish camp -•at Windsor. In spite of the fact, however, that Yugoslavia has' been declared a foreign force under the Foreign Forces Order, no action has yet been taken to recruit Yugoslavs in : Canada. 1 'Major Leal attributed this to the fact that the,. Yugoslav Minister himself was not particularly interested in , .. this project and- that Savitch had been given very little support ■' from Ottawa. ■ Colonel Savitch had previously been in Washington under Radoycich, the Yugoslav Military Attache in Washington. I asked whether Savitch was contemplating recruiting activities among Croats and Slovenes in Canada,. and he said that, on security" grounds and because of Savitch's intense dislike of most Croats,. this was not likely. He described Savitch- himself as a person who was wholly miseast in his.' present role ’ of recruiting officer. He was, he said,. a "conspirateur", and that he would be more useful blowing up bridges in Yugoslavia than in recruiting a handful of Yugoslavs in Canada • -If any further information becomes 'available,' I shall pass it on to you., Yours sincerely.
