AREA NOTICE No. 3
1.	General Order No. 11 providing for the government of Gorizia Area is being implemented. Appointments made by A.M.G. under this Order are being announced, and from time to time will be published in the Press.
2.	Those appointments are being made by A.M.G. after wide consultations, so that they will be as widely representative of all classes of the people as is possible in present circumstances. The- fact that they are not fully representative, is due to the fact that a large element of the population has, through its leaders, refused to play its part in the government.
3.	These leaders claimed that they were elected by the people; that only persons elected by the people could serve in any government; and they stated that they would not be appointed by A.M.G.
4.	It has been repeatedly pointed out to these leaders :
(a)	That the elections they referred to could not have been fair or democratic, since only they were elected, and no other section of the community.
(b)	That fair elections are not possible in time of war, or in the present circumstances of Military Government.
(c)	That it is possible to choose representatives of the people by means other than elections, and that A.M.G. was choosing them by this means.
5.	Despite those repeated statements to those leaders and despite repeated requests to them to submit the names of persons desired by the people as their representatives, they have continued to refuse to take their share in the government.
6.	In these circumstances A.M.G. has been forced to make appointments without giving representation to this section of the community, and in some areas to carry on the government without any representatives of the people at all.
7.	It continues to be the hope of A.M.G. that this section of the people will reconsider the decisions of its leaders. It is the hope of A.M.G. that this group, which was for many years denied representation by Fascism, will not continue to be denied it by their own leaders.
8.	A.M.G. will remain ready and willing to welcome this large element of the people to take their just part in the government of this Area.
