The Washington Letter
Tito Again Undercuts
Attempts To Justify Our Aid

tween socialist Communist
dominated) countries ought to
be improved on the basis of
equality, friendship and non
interference in internal affairs.
That means that Yugoslavia
does not want to be controlled
by Moscow like, say, Hungary
is. But is that enough indie
pendence from Soviet Russia
to justify all that we have
done? Is it justification for
continuing aid to the Red die
tator of Belgrade?
The vast amount of aid we
have given Tito has contributed
greatly toward keeping him in
power. Our policy has been
based upon the premise that If
Tito did not rule Yugoslavia
Moscow would probably see
that some other red did, and
that his national communism"
is somehow a better brand of
oppression than is the ''inter-
national communism" favored
by Soviet Russia.

modification resulting in the
relaxation OF some of the
harshest aspects of the regime.
Collectivization of agriculture
has been largely abandoned,
decentralization of the econo-
my has been intr oduced and
market forces are permitted to
play a greater role in the Yugo-
slav economy"
From this, one would think
that all the United States cared
about is money. Despite the
way we throw it away.
There is still a fierce per-
secution of religion going on
in Yugoslavia. The country's
judicial system leaves much to

Tito has done several things

he prefers Soviet Russia and
communism to the West. He is
likely to give further testimony
in the near future.

WASHINGTON - Marshal
Tito has just joined in a state
ment with Wladyslav Gomulka
of Poland that ought to cause
a great deal of uneasiness here.
The statement constitutes a
solid backing of Soviet Russian
foreign policy, and a pledge to
work for closer relations with
neighboring communist coun-
tries in eastern europe. Pre-
sumably it advances points
which Tito worked out earlier
in his meetings with Nikita
Khrushchev of Russia.
The statement goes along
with Soviet Russia on disarma-
ment, the Identification of Ger
many, the Oder-Neisse line be-
tween East Germany and west
ern Poland, the situation in
Syria, and a seat for Red China
in the United Nations.
The United States has played
up to Tito for some years now,
attempting to keep him indie
pendent from Moscow control.
The question now is, have we
wasted our time and m ore than
a billion dollars?

This phenomenal respect for
the child will ever be a main
factor in the Church's battle
against divorce, or for orphan
ages, and for schools.
Unlike those who say the

conclusions are our own: Child

incomplete, II is real, for in the

is a living snolosy and a mes
sage Of sanctity, a bridge be-
tween heaven and EARTH"
Systems of thought which
neglect the child are like
ploughs which instead Of inn
proving the soil only cut down
the flowers.
It was Christianity which
vented the apt expression, EEK
ceptional child" Crippled, fee
bleminded, handicapped, the
child was for that very reason
entitled to our exceptional"
care and affection. No Spartan
could have coined that phase.
Rightly, we judge the paganism

his respect for children.
