Tito Numbers Catholic Church
Among Enemies Of YugosIovio

The greater part of his speech
was devoted to domestic problems
ranging from a shortage of man
power to reorganizing the coun-
try's economy and imitation.
He said radio broadcasts from
the West generally applauded
Yugoslavia when this country is
guarreling with Russia. but had
little favorable to say on the de-
velopment of socialism here.
Tito cautioned his audience tc
discount such hostile" criticism
of Yugoslavia's domestic affairs
as 1t would Russian propaganda
attacks.
He summed up his foreign policy
in these words:
eve are leading our foreign
policy as we do. not for demagogit
reasons or to get more help. W.

RANKOVICEvO. Yugoslavia,
Oct. 8.-Premier Marshal Tito has
listed the Roman Catholic Church
as one of Yugoslavia's major enc
mics in the western world.
He spoke yesterday in this
southern Serbian town to a crowd
estimated at $4,000. gathered at
the graves of 5000 persons massa-
cred here by the Germans 10 years
ago. His speech was made public
today.
"It would be wrong to believe" "
Marshal Tito said, after all the
help which America, Britain,
France and other western coun-
tries have given us. that, in these
countries which seem friendly to
us, there are no enemies of our
country. There are.
I'm the first place there is the
Catholic Church-the Vatican
which is undermining Our position
in all the countries where we are
seeking the help which we need.'
He coupled Yugoslav refugees
abroad with the Catholic Church
as enemies of his government.
Marshal Tito emphasized Yugo-
slavia's readiness to cooperate
with the West on equal terms in
defense of world peace. At the
same time he reasserted his gov
ernment's determination to run
the country's domestic affairs
without interference from abroad.

save the face of either would be hard
indeed, to frame Should Mr.. Ache.
son resign it would mean that he had
done so under fire. been driven out
of office by the attacks upon him
Completely convinced as Mr.. Ache.
son undoubtedly is of his own right
eousness, he does not seem the sort
of man who would quit in that sort
of way-iust the reverse. AS for Mr.
Truman, he not only admires and
likes Mr.. Acheson personally but be-
lieves he has made great Secretary
Of State and has served as target
for many who really want to discredit
Mr.. Truman He has said all these
things-timc and again.
Under the circumstances, how could
Mr.. Truman, with any pretcnsc of de-
cency, acquiescc in forcing Mr.
Acheson's resignation because his
Kansas City friend, Mr.. Boyle, and a
lot of other Democratic politicians,
who think only in terms of the next
election, regard him as party liza
bility? 1t would seem most craven
and disloyal act almost impossible
to camouhagc. While General Wede-
meyers rcfreshingly straightforward
and impressive testimony did diminish
somewhat the favorable effect made
by Mr.. Acheson and lessen the jubi-
lation of the White House, it offered
no additional reason for his retirement.
If Mr. Acheson in any way differed
from the Presidents policies; if there
were any new thing about his per-
sonal record subject to criticism; if
any new public or personal impro-
pricty could be attributed to him, or
if his health were impaired, it might
be different.
In the absence of any of these
things. for either Mr.. Truman or Mr..
Acheson to change his position would
mean that, believing firmly in their
own rectitudc, they are unable to re-
sist political pressure; that when the
fight got really hot they ran away.
That would be an ugly thing for a
man to have on his rccord-a blot
that could not easily be oblitcratcd.
Perhaps these friends" of Mr..
Acheson who have now joined in the
hue and cry for him to go have not
