I have the honour to be Sir, Your Excellency's obedient servant, Is/ Alexander Cadogan ..: /Note addressed S/652 Page 2 Note addressed io the Yugoslav Ambassador in 'London by His Ma,jzst;-'s Principal Secretory of State for Foreign Affairs 3n Jnnunry 15th: 1945 Sir, !:ith reference to Your ti;tillency's note, NO. P1733, of November 7th, yl(;. the note No. 421817 from the Minister for Fore@ Affairs of t'-e Federative People's Republic of Yugoslavia to His Majesty's Embass:; in Belgrade of November lst, copies of both of which were communicaX ~-7 the president of the Security Council, I have the honour to inform Your L:rczllency that His W.jesty'3 Government have now made a full study of the Y~goslaV Government's vielrs. 2. His Majesty's Government note that the Yugoslav Government have cited six examples of actions of the Allied Military Government, which they consider as demonstrating the intention of the United Kingdom and the United State? Governments to urevent the fulfilment of the Peace Treaty and to deprive the inhabiter&s-of the Free Territory of their just rights. His Majesty's Government consider that this contention of the Yugoslav Government springs from a misunderstanding of the role which the Treaty imposes upon the Occupy-i% Pours in the administration of their respective zones of-the Free Territory, snd that it takes no account of the motives which have guided the Allied Military Government in the Anglo-United States Zone in carrying out their duties. His Majesty's Government therefore deem it necessary to give a full explanation on these two points, and are confident that it Will shoU the charges brought by the Ywoslav Government to be quite unfounded. 3. In the first place, His Majesty's Government wish to mnke their view clear as to the constitutional position as governed by the terms of the Peace Treaty. Article 1 of the Provisional Statute provides that the Free Territory must continue to be administered by the Allied Military Governments within their zones , pending the appointment of the Governor. Vhile both Allied Mbilitaqy Govenments ten, and should, introduce beneficial administmtive measures in the general spirit of both the lermnnent and Provisional Statutes they are not, as trustees for the Free Territory, entitled to introauce constit-utional choqes which prejudice in advance the functioning of the two Statutes. Such cheqes can only take place once the Governor is appointed, when the legislative machinery provided for in the Treaty can be invoked end when the trill of the people can be freely consulted as provided for in the Treaty. WIUS such clauses as Articles 9, 10, 13, 15 snd 16 of the Permanent Statute and Articles 8 rind 10 of the Provisional Statute can only function if there is f. Wvernor. It is clear therefore that each Allied Military govelment may only take such administrative measures as will be beneficial to the population andin general ccnscnence with the aims of the-statutes. 4. The Allied Military Government of the Anglo-United States zone have scrupulousljr avoided exceeding the powers vested in them; they have, moreover, in accordance with the advice given them from time to time by His Majesty's Government and the United States Government, exercised these powers for the active benefit of the majority of the inhabitants of the Anglo-United States Zone. In doing so, they have been guided by those principles which were set out in the communication addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations by the representative of the United Kingdom on the Security Council on November 18th. It is the view of His Majesty's Government that the application of these principles /is essential s/652 Pege j is e.scenti2l to the fulfilment of the Lntentlons of the Teace Treaty. They may be sc+. out under the two principal headings of the C~~stodionship PEE 3;ncn 3izht.z. 5. As x;Frr?s Custodlanshlp, the Allled MiliterJ Governments of Zone A of Venezls 3iuiia, and of the Anglo-United States Zone of the Tree Territory, have elw2ys 'been guided by the principle that all persons under their administration are entltl'eh to the enjoyment of their existlrg legal, po&iticel and social lnatitutions ~ntll such time as they may be able to alter tiiem by the free use of the democratic machlneq provided by the Peace Treaty. Untfl the coming into force of the Peace Treaty.the Allied Military Governments respected the Institutions ln the area in accordance with the obligations imposed on an occupying Power by the relevant cleuses of The Hague Convention, namely Article8 42 to 56. Since September 15th; 1947, they have followed this policy in their rolo of trustees for the Anglo-United States Zone, ,.:.:..-. 6. But His Msjestygs‘Government are aware that in the Zone administered by YugOSlavlZ, z\mdamental changes have been made in the political, economic and social institutiuns'. The introduction of these changes, which vitally affect the lives of all the inhabitants of the area, is entirely con'cfary to the relevant provisions of The Hague Conventicn. Such for instance are the otiers for the confiscation and redistribution of land, promulgated at Capodlstrla on. the 4th September1 196, end at Plsmo on the 25th November, 1946. Moreover not only are these orders ln the opinion of His Majesty's Government improper ln .themselves, but there is evidence to show that they have beeneemployednot to effect en equitable redistribution of agrlcuftural lsnd in the interest of the community, but as a.means of victlmlz~lng persons whose political opinions are not In line with those of the YQgoslav Government. Thus eviction orders have been served on Inhabitanta of the Yugoslav Zone; end such phrases have been used to justify eviction as "considering your way of acting and also your standpoint towards the popular authorltles and towards the Agrarian Reform Commission". Evictions have also been madeon the mere allegation 'that the evicted person was "an anti-popular element". 7. Other examples of unconstitutional action of this hind by which existirg laws and re@&stions, prhlch the Yugoslav Administration is bound to respect, hWe been 2mended,m-e the Order on the Administration of the Goods of Social Insurance Institutions, published in Capodistria on September 20th, 1'$+7, the Decree .on Pconomlc Co-operatives and Article l.1 of Decree No. 2 of August 3rd, giving to the so-called "people's Courts* jurisdiction for the dissolution of marriager E. As regards HumanRSShts, the administration of the An&o-United States Zone have also, while I.&ping a proper, control,over activities aioed at creating a disturbance of.the peace, permitted the Inhabitants of the Free Territory their full rights of assccletion, of free speech, of rell~icn, and cl' the press. Thus, during the period from September 15th, 1947 to January 10th, 1948, the 4llied Military Governments of the Anglo-Un:ted States Zone authcrlzea the hcldlng of 191,public meetings of Communistand pro-Slav groups, 16 cf independent :;rouus, and 141 of pro-Italign groups. By contrast, during the sameperied not a s%gle meetinS of gartles opgosed tc Ccmmunismwas permitted in the Yc~~slav Zone cf the Free Territory. The protest of the Istrian Ccmmittee of National. Liberation eddresaea to the Ital:en Gcvernment, a> published on Cctober lOth, makes it clear that political rights in the YuSoslav Zone have been totally auppreosed. In the circumstances, the Yu~cslav Gcverrnent's protest contained in Your Excellency's Note No. F17j3, of November7th, trould,~eem to have no justification. His Majesty~s Government have studied such reports as are available of the meeting of the Constituent Assembly of the Par*;ito Republican0 Italicno d'Azione della venezia Giulla, he:, /in Trlea%e In Trieste in October, znd consider that there ore no Croimris for the un&mocrntic 3upycsaion of a pzplar party, m requested by the Yugoslav ,! Government. 9. With regard to freedcm of the press, the Allied Military Government in the An&o-United State8 Zone have al:iaps allo?ged the publicstion cf newspapers representing all shadee of opinion. In spite of the abusive accusations against the administret?sn and the wilful distorficn of fects, which continuously appear in the Communistand pro-Yugoslav secti,cnc cf the press, the authorities have permitted the publication of these JOWIIX~S, cnlg taking action where they contained an open incitement to violence and the overthrow of public order, Such an instance was.that of the journal "Innocente", of which Hio Majesty's Government vere obliged to complain in the :Jote No. 1184 presented by His Mcjesty's Ambassadorin Belgrade to the Yugoslav Ministry of Foreign Affair-3 cn October 29th.

Their first border and ethnic disputes, regarding the Northwestern-Istrian Slovenian community, the Free Territory of Trieste, the Piran Bay and the Mura river issues, emerged after 1945 but they were kept under by the interests of the federal government in Belgrade. Thus, these disputes could not have been solved in negotiated ways within the political framework of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia therefore the issues of the disputed borderlines came under heavy political fire after 1991, when serious tensions erupted with the Slovenian and Croatian secession. Since then, Croatia has constantly contested that the borders at Piran Bay and Mura River must be revised and corrected according to the international legal norms and the original cadastral and administrative parcels. Later, in the threshold of the Croatia-EU membership negotiations the dispute has escalated so much, that the Slovenian government, as a member state of the EU, has blocked several times the Croatian EU accession hence it was necessary to solve this problem in diplomatic and legal ways in order to consolidate their relation and help the Croatian EU accession.

One country which did not fall into this pattern, however, was Yugo¬ slavia. She wanted to break completely with Moscow and to establish her own brand of national Communism, thus enabling her leaders to steer an individualist course in world affairs. Yugoslavia sought not only to free her¬ self from Soviet domination but also to show her total opposition to the Western Allies, especially the United States. The latter part of this objective became a unique area of conflict in the cold war. In 1945 Yugoslavia offered stiff opposition to Italian boundary settlements proposed by the Council of Foreign Ministers. Yugoslavia claimed the area of the Istrian peninsula, including the city of Trieste, as rightfully hers. While the diplomats discussed potential settlements, Yugoslav and Allied troops coexisted uneasily on the peninsula. Tension between the U.S. and Yugoslavia rapidly reached a breaking point.

The Yugoslav territorial revendications, sustained also by the Soviet Union, met with oppositions from the Western Allied countries, which defended their own military, strategic and political interests. The question of the boundary and the belonging of Trst (Trieste), Gorica (Gorizia) and of other localities became an international controversy and this led to negotiations and to agreements between the Western Allied countries and Yugoslavia. The latter committed itself to the fact that the question concerning the ownership of the controversial territory would be resolved by the Peace Conference with Italy. The controversial territory had been divided, to the Rapallo border, with the so-called Morgan Line into two occupation areas: into Zone “A” and Zone “B”. The boundary line ran west of the railroad links Trbiž (Tarvisio) - Predel (Passo di Predil) - Most na Soči (Santa Lucia) - Gorica (Gorizia) - Trst (Trieste). The Yugoslav army was obliged to abandon the western part of the territory in question, i.e.

TRIESTE AND THE NORTHEASTERN ADRIATIC DURING THE COLD WAR (1945–1975). A CONTRIBUTION TO THE RENEWAL OF WORKERS' HISTORY Sabine RUTAR Südost-Institut, D-93047 Regensburg, Landshuter Str. 4 e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The article outlines research perspectives in the realm of labor history, a field that has lain idle for much of the past two decades. It sketches out potentials for methodological innovation, taking the northeastern Adriatic, and specifically the harbor and port cities of Trieste, Monfalcone, Koper, and Rijeka, as a case in point. The author points at the benefits of writing of the history of communism as social and cultural history, that is as a history focusing both on agency and on discourse analy- sis. In terms of agency, she focuses on the constitution of workers' milieus in the dockyards and harbors of the mentioned cities, after 1945 all of them multiethnic, two in Italy, two in Yugoslavia. The potentials of discourse analysis are shown through the topic of Yugoslav self-management – the Titoist economic model proved fascinating both to the other communist societies and the Left in the West. Hence, the topic offers a linkage between studying the communist movements in the West and the communist authority of state socialisms. Key words: Communism, labor history, contemporary history, northeastern Adriatic, port cities, workers' milieus, methodology, agency, discourse analysis, Yugoslav self- management LAVORO E COMUNISMO IN JUGOSLAVIA E IN ITALIA.

A sketch of the orchestra’s foundation in the context of the concurrent political efforts to solve the Trieste question is then followed by a detailed outline of the journey itself, presented from the two points of view. First, the perspective of the Yugoslav authorities is illustrated and then an insight into musician’s everyday life during the tour is given. Keywords: Trieste Philharmonic, music and politics, political propaganda, Trieste question On 1 May 1945, the units of the Yugoslav partisan army marched into Trieste, reaching the city a mere half-a-day before the British Eighth Army under Field Marshal Alexander. For the Yugoslav side, winning the race to conquer this impor- tant Northern Adriatic port (along with the whole of the Julian March) was under no circumstances a simple matter of war prestige. For them, it was a decisive step towards the correction of (in the eyes of Slovenes undoubtedly unfair) border line with Italy, as it had been set by the Treaty of Rapallo after the World War I. Since Emperor Charles VI at the beginning of the eighteenth century declared it a free port, Trieste had witnessed rapid economic and demographic growth. By the beginning of the twentieth century, with about 60,000 Slovene inhabitants, it also became the largest Slovenian city, while the suburbs were inhabited only by Slovenes.

Introduction: border as distinction, metaphor and discourse In his book Le città invisibili (Invisible cities, 1972 (1974)) the great voyager through imaginary landscapes, Italian writer Italo Calvino, recounts a story of Marco Polo who mesmerized Mongolian emperor Kublai Khan with his tales about imaginary cities. An imaginary city does not have any distinguishable (visual) markers that would enable us to recognize it, which suggests an assump- tion that we all carry certain notions about places that might not necessarily be figurative or formal but they must provide means to make a distinction.
