The wish of the Yugo-Slav people to avoid becoming entangled in war was emphasised in Auckland by an officer of the Yugo-Slav steamer. Kupa. which was then in port. Yugo-Slavia had been in too many wars and had fought the Turks, the Bulgarians, the Austrians and the Italians, he said. The country would like to see present issues settled by agreement and not by force. Relations with Italy, however, could best be described as "diplomatic" and should any territorial claims be made on Yugo-Slavia it was sure that they would be met by stout armed resistance, he said.
