Wants Auto Equipment
The Tito government is also
known to be interested in the pur-
chase of considerable automotive
equipment here. In the days OF
UNRRA some 1000 trucks, trac-
tors and similar pieces were sent
to Yugoslavio. Much Of this equip
mert is in need of replacement OF

tivization on. the Soviet manner
would be a slow and difficult
process! One Of his alternatives
was to transform the. country
gradually from a predominantly
agricultural economy to an in
dustrial economy. Rich in many
raw materials, Yugoslavia had
these to offer in exchange for the
mechanical facilities required in
such a Transformation. With trade
oriented toward the east this
meant that the bulk of the me-
chanical facilities must come from
Russia and it was on this economic
level that the Russo-Yugoslav re-
lations began to deteriorate. Never
quite approving of the program
to shift the emphasiszof the Yugo-
slav economy, Moscow failed to
meet the requirements for ma
chinery and allied products.
Not Too Reckless
Tito complained and Moscow
countered by berating him for the
slowness of his collectivization of
the peasantry. Other differences
accumulated and the split became
a reality.
In what begins to appear as a
rather astute line of conduct, Tito
has taken the greatest pains not
to jeopardize his standing with
Yugoslav nationalist feeling. He
has talked tough to and about
the government at Moscow but
he has not outwardly toadied to
the Western powers. Realistically,
he pushed trade agreements with
Italy, Western Germany and
Britain.
Reversing himself on his atti-
tude toward the civil war in
Greece, he announced that the
Yugoslav-Greek frontier was be-
ing closed as an avenue of refuge
for the Communist guerrillas in
Greece and he has evidently i'm
plemented the announcement. The
action now appears a vital factor
toward ending the long civil war
in Greece. If such is the result
it undoubtedly will make for bet
ter future relations between the
Yugoslav and Greek nationalist
governments, although there are
still areas of dispute between them
and conversational tempers hared

Evening star., 1949-08-21

On June %, 1948, Marshal Tito
and his associate leaders Of the
Communist Party, of Yugoslavia
were tossed off the first team of
Soviet satellites. It was the first
break in the postwar solid front
of the nine-nation Cominform
and caught most of the world out
side the iron curtain area sur
prised and disbelieving.
The amputation job was done
in orthodox Communist fashion
through the columns of one Of the
official party newspapers. in this
case, Rudeo Pravo, the organ Of
the party in Czechoslovakia. Tito
and his associates were accused
of departing from the true Marx
ist-Leninist line. of leaning to-
ward despised Trotzkyism and of
pursuing a hateful policy toward
Soviet Russia. These evil symp-
toms were found in both the for
eign and internal policies Of Tito's
government and it was revealed
for the first time that the Yugo-
slav Communists had refused to
participate in a Cominform ses-
sion earlier in the month In Ro-
mania.
The immediate unofficial spec
ulation in Washington was that
Tito and his closest colleagues al
ready had been liquidated, or
would be very shortly, and that
Yugoslavia would remain firmly
within the Soviet orbit. The sec
ond guess, in the face Of Tito's
continued good health, was that
the whole affair was some sort
of international sham-a trick of
devious and sinister purpose.
Promising for West
For, IA months this second in
depreciation has lived on, al
though in diminishing degree as
utterances and events stemming
from both Belgrade and Moscow
have provided believable evidence
that the rupture was a real one
rather than fake. It is q sit
uation of great promise as far
as the anti Communist efforts of
the Western world are concerned,
although containing an anomalous
element in the undisputed fact
that Titoism is still communism,
even If divorced from the Krem-
lin.
Whether or not Tito can make
the divorce permanent and what
aid and comfort he may get from
the Western powers are questions
probably high in the minds Of his
Balkan neighbors.
Quite logically. American policy
on the matter has been one of
extreme caution, operating al
most on a day-to-day, wait-and-
see basis.
A study OF the deeper reasons
for the split provided some
answers which seemed to make it
all less surprising.
BY comparison with other
Balkan Communist hierarchies,
Tito was a self made man. He had
climbed to power in the late stages
of World War II by developing a
hard core Of nationalist COM
munism in Yugoslavia and q tough
| fighting force with which to lib
crate, or to capture. his own
country. While he did have Rus
sian blessing and assistance he
was not back in Moscow waiting
for the stage to be set by others,
as was the case with his opposite
numbers in several other Balkan
Communist coups.
In an agrarian peasant coun-
try, Tito recognized that collec-

will be its effect upon the attitude

Invited Mission

government applied to the Inter
national Bank for Reconstruction
and Development for a $500, ,000.-

adverse odds at that time, he SUBJ
mitted no plan for the use of such
funds and did not press for action
on the application.
When the big bustup came ir

Belgrade government did forward
such a plan and invited the bank
to send q mission to study the
economy of the country with a
view to such a loan. It was the
first occasion in Tito's administra-
ton that any international organ
