Tito Blames Catholic Church as Enemy of Yugoslavia
Premier Marshal Tito denounced the Roman Catholic Church and the Vatican as enemies of Yugoslavia while addressing a crowd of about 50,000 in a Serbian town. He argued that despite allied help, no enemies exist within the country and linked religious groups to national threat amidst war graves of 5,000 Germans. In Washington, government officials reported a drop in construction applications by 12 percent in late 1941 as defense needs redirected metal resources, noting requests from church groups to begin projects were among those rejected.
