You are on a sector of defense

Importance and on which provoca-

still occurring today and will
probably take place in the future.
You are in a state of alert in

There are cases already where

Tito said the Cominform coun-
tries wanted to crush Yugoslavia
but so far had failed. He declared
that the majority Of the peoples
of the Eastern countries sided
with Yugoslavia despite the oppo-
sition of their Cominform govern

He said rumors of a threatened
Soviet army attack on Yugoslavis
were first spread by people ir
Western countries who thought

He added:

But today" he continued,
"those in the East are also try

various rumors over the so-called

to achieve all that is inherent in
those plans. We, too, seek to rea-
lie full and complete democracy
under the American Constitution
and the American concept of de-
mocracy."
However, Mr.. Patterson added,
the trail of broken promises made
by major politicians creates grave
doubts in cur minds as to what will
be given. We know that democracy
is not given. We know that all can
be won in militant united struggle.
History has placed unity upon the
order Of business.
Mr.. Patterson explained that he
was mindful of the difference in
outlook existing between the MA
ACP and CRC but said that he
was impelled by his understanding
of the historic need for unity to
write his original letter offering
CRC's support and cooperation.
Il believe it is necessary to stress
that which unites US, he said
and not that which sets us a.

He added. Il believe that you
Mr.. wilkins. are making a serious
error; that you are playing the
game of our mutual enemies; that
YOU are appeasing the powers that
are destructive of our rights when
YOU resort TO red-baiting in your
