YugoSlavia may soon become
the rallying point for the sat-
elite countries in any attempt
to shake OF the Muscovite
yoke.
It is in this light that tine
visit of Yugoslavia's Premier
Marshal Tito to London is
looked upon by policy makers
in Western Europe and in
Washington.
AS soon as it became known
that Stain had suffered a
stroke, the Yugoslav Premier
urged London to advance the
date of his official visit, which
had been scheduled for the end
of this month, and ne left
Belgrade the day of Stains
death.
There is no question that IN
the political planning Of he

rules are expected to play an
important role in whatever
efforts the countries behind
the Iron Curtain on the bor-
ders of Yugoslavia attempt for
their liberation.
The new defensive alliance
signed last month between the
governments Of Belgrade, Ath-
ems and Ankara provides that
coalition with a force of more
than so active combat divi-
Sions. This force in being Icsy

that a country can be COM
munistic and at the same time
enjoy its own full sovereignty
and the friendship and assist
ance of the Western world,
including America.
In some respects Yugoslavia
is undergoing today the same
changes Turkey did in the
early 20s when Ghazi Kemal
Ataturk became it's absolute
ruler. It is true that Ataturk,
after accepting financial and
military support from Lenin, :
rejected communism. But as
soon as he liberated his country
from foreign domination, he
was as much of a dictator as
Tito. After the reorganization
Of Turkey on a Western pat
tern the reinS of dictatorship
were loosened and today the
Ankara government is as can
be wished by the most adj
vanced democracies in the
world.
Tito came to power with
the assistance of Britain and
the United States. Soon after
We Day he became as much
of a stooge of Moscow as any
other puppet. But, either be-
cause Of his unbounded am
bition or because he realized
that at least some sections of
his heterogeneous country
would not swallow for long
unadulterated StaliniSm which
subordinates entirely the people
to the government, he broke
with Moscow and was for
some time a lone wolf in the
midst Of hostile neighbors both
East and West. He Unanswered
skillfully and eventually de-
cided to turn toward the West
when he became certain that
he would not have to abandon
his basic Marxist principles or
his independence.
Yugoslavia is still a police
state. but no longer under the
Kremlin's secret agents who
have been either expelled or
purged. The important thing
is that Tito's republic is no
longer behind the Iron Curtain.
Only those people who want
to escape terror in the lands
subjugated by the U. S. S. r.
can find refuge in Yugoslavia.
The satellite diplomatic mis-
Sions in Yugoslavia are given
the same harsh treatment as
Westerners are given in satel-
lite lands. Citizens of free
countries have easy access to
Yugoslavia. The economy,
while under state control is
moving toward a liberalization
which eventually may lead it
to be as free as in some
Western countries, such as
Britain.

Socialist Alliance, open to all
Yugoslav citizens who support
the regime, was created re-

fearful Allen Leaves

BY the Associated Press

BELGRADE, Yugosalvia, Mar.

American Ambassador George v.
Allen left for home and a new
assignment today. He said Yu-
goslavia and the United States
would work-and fight, if neces-
sary-together in the future.
1--WE are all in the same boat"
he told newsmen just before
boarding the Embassy plane
with Mrs. Allen and their son
Dicky for a flight to Frankfurt.
Mr.. Allen is returning to WASH
ington before taking over as
Ambassador to India.
He summarized the three years
of his stint here as Ambassador
as a period marked by broad
changes as Yugoslavia readjust-
ed following "the break with the
Cominform." a
But he said this still Commu-
mist country now is entering q
new era perhaps more impor-
tant than the last three years,
IAN era symbolized by the re-
Gently signed defensive pact
among Yugoslavia. Turkey and

Asked if he thought Yugo-
slavia would fight hard for the
west in case of a new world war,
he replied:
"They would fight hard for
themselves. We are all in the
same boat"

A Kansas legislative COM
mittee has begun what is in
effect a public trial of the
political ethics of the EiSen-
hover choice for Republican
national chairman, G. Wesley
Roberts. It is the first time
within Washington political
memory that a State Legisla-
ture has formally investigated
the national chairman of a
major political party.
The Kansas committees

chairman got his fee from the
sale of a hospital to the State,
according to the testimony
now being given, and the
building was already in the

Red-faced Kansans forced
the embarrassed Legislature
to hold its hearings with the

post has been harder to fill.
Of the 1856 antitrust cases
left by the Truman admins
tration. one of the most touchy
is that alleging control by Du-
Pont of General Motors, U. s.
Rubber and other companies.
Trial was begun some weeks
ago in Chicago, but proceed
ings are temporarily in abey-
ance. When the trial began it
was announced that Charles
E. Wilson, then president of
General Motors, now Secretary
of Defense, would be called
later by the Government as a
witness. MIR. Wilson Invested
himself of all connections and
stock in General Motors when

publicity director has returned
to his congressional post. APP
parently, the idea is to wait
for the verdict from Kansas
before settling down for the
long pull.
Mr.. Roberts has left Wash
ington and is expected in To-
peka this week to testify. He
has said that he did no lobby
ing and merely acted as public
relations counsel for the fra
ternal order which sold the
hospital to the State.
Kansans say that the affair
will be campaign issue next
year. since it is the means by
which the young Republicans

not mean genuine free cleo
tons or any dramatic loosen
ing of Tito's absolute rule. But
1t is unqueStionably vastly diff
ferent from the situation which
exists in the countries where
everything must be cleared
with Moscow" through its
thousands of agents who DOM
mate all government DEPART
mentS.
YugoSlavia need no longer
send to the U. s. S. r. a large
portion of the products of the
labor of its citizens as is the
case in all the satellite states.
Its exports abroad are being
paid for in cash or are bar
tered for essentials needed by
that country. Neither are there
Soviet soldiers on her territory
as is the case in Romania,
Hungary, Bulgaria and AL
bania.
While by our own standards,
there still is much left to be
desired in Yugoslavia, its
neighbors who are under the
MuScovite boot must look upon
it at present as the embodi-
ment of their most cherished
hopes.
Tito may soon become the
spearhead of a cold war to be
waged by us against the Krem-
lin. Regardless of how much
Georgi Malenkov may claim
that nothing has been changed
in Stains realm, there is no
doubt that the Red dictator's
death will soon affect all the
Communists within and outside
the Iron Curtain. And Tito,
who at one time was a DOM

diaries. Not long ago an allied
plane flying near Berlin and
known to be well within it's
course was shot at, though
the plane wasn't forced down.
Earlier. an unarmed United
States Navy patrol plane was
shot down over the Baltic
with a loss Of 10 Americans.
Because the allies do no
more than write notes of pro-
test. the Moscow regime is
unquestionably convinced it
can fire away whenever it is
desirable for propaganda pur-
poses to show it's Scorn for the
allied military forces in Europe.
This is a dangerous set of
circumstances and resembles
the testing which Hitler en-
ployed when he marched into
the Rhineland in November,
1886. He waS-aS the archives
later revealed-fearful that he
might meet resistance, but,
when he encountered only
diplomatic protests, he felt sure
the chances that the allies
would try to stop any further
encroachment were remote.
This is the way, Of course,
that large-scale wars start. For
instead of nipping any such
aggression in the bud at the
very outset, the fatal way is
to procraStinate and engage in
long, drawn-out, underwriting
contests which serve only to
convince the aggressor that he
can take further liberties and
get away with it.
The allies by their weak
nesses have been unwittingly
bringing on a situation wherein
they may be compelled to do
something more drastic to
prove that, they will not
tolerate interference with mill
tary forces stationed within
boundaries fixed by wartime
agreements.
1t seems ironical that in the
United States Senate, at the
very moment when Moscow is
showing her contempt for these
same wartime agreements,
there is a hesitancy to pass a
simple resolution condemning
the lawless and reckless be-
havior of the Moscow govern
ment toward the peoples of

small countries in Europe
which were supposed to be pro-
tected against both annexation
and prolonged occupation or
enslavement by the Russian
armies. Czechoslovakia, whose
colorS appeared on the Rus
sian-built planes which at
tackled American airmen Tues
day, is. Of course. no longer an
independent nation, but the
puppet of Moscow.
Whether Roosevelt or Tru-
man or American diplomats
made the wartime agreements
is far less important today
than the fact that the Com
munist imperialists in Moscow
are making scraps of paper of
those same agreements. No
contract between two parties
was ever held to be binding
when one or the other broke
faith and violated its provi-
Sions.
This is probably going to be
known-like the period be-
tween 1888 and 1939-as the
'Pussyfoot Era" It may be that
the end results will be to ac-
celerate World War III, just
as did the ,appeasement in the
'30s. For unless the Czecho-
slovakian government apollo
gizes for the shooting down of
the American plane-which it
would only on orders from
MoScow-the grave incident"
as James B. Conant, United
States High Commissioner in
Berlin, has described it, will
confront the allies with q real
crisis.
Acquiescence would be a par
allel to the allied reaction to
Hitler's invasion of the Rhine
land.
A timely show of an inten-
ton to resist would be a step
toward preventing a war later
on. If demand for immediate
reparation for the loss Of the
plane were followed by a mo-
bilization on the Czech border
of many allied bomber planes
loaded with atom bombs, the
Kremlin might then order the
satellite government at Prague
to eat crow. That would be a
salutary development. It could
be a sign that Malenkov .
wanted peace, not war.
