Such a position surely would
command Moscow's respect and
surely would enhance Tito's
world position as a man to be
assiduously ~cOurted by both
East and West.
LOng-Term DisQuiet
While Tito remains tied to
the West, however fragilely, by
virtue Of the threat Of Miscow
and his own internal needs for
security and economic support,
his dalliance with the Asian
leaders and with the moderate
left Of Western Europe is no
cause for undue alarm. But the
long-range prospects can be dis
quieting to the West.
What happens when and II
Tito's international position be-
strong out Of all proper
ton to the size Of his country?
In the back Of the Western mind
must lurk the haunting thought
that Tito still processes Lenin-
ism and the idea Of the interna-
tional revolution. If he should
make peace with Moscow that
would permit general agree
Iment on the future Of the world
Communist revolution, Tito
could pose a mighty threat to
the Western world.
