Sažetak
Certain information in Ivica Peršić's notes suggest a liaison between Frankists and Radicals in the period 1922 – 1925. Among persons who sustained these relationships, beside Ante Pavelić (later Ustasha leader), Milan Šufflay is mentioned. The contemporary press wrote about it and Manko Gagliardi and Armin Rimay spoke about it at their trial for his murder in 1940. According to this testimony, Šufflay participated in preparation for founding of the Croat Radical Party in 1925; Matko Laginja left the same information in his Diary. When that action of the Frankist leaders failed, Šufflay persisted. In Fall of 1925, he was working on the foundation of the Croat People's Radical Party, and wrote the Manifest of Croat Radicals. This document is preserved in his estate in the Archives of Croatia in Zagreb. From the nine chapters of the document, a basic positions and programmatic orientation of the new party can be detected. Šufflay accepts the monarchy and seeks a close relationship with the Radicals. He is criticizing Stjepan Radić's politics, even though that same year he arrived at a compromise with the Radicals. Moreover, Šufflay, presents himself as a staunch opponent of bolshevism, and praises the Croat peasants. He glorifies the Radicals as preservers of Croat traditions. However, no concrete action followed the Manifest, and the document remained only a testimony of Šufflay's personality and his personal preoccupations.
