Reason For Expulsion From Cominform
London, June 30. ,
Reports from Belgrade this afternoon said that Marshal Tito had a conference there today with the Communist Minister of the Interior and other Yugoslav leaders. A diplomatic correspondent says that aimough there still is no official information, the fundamental reasons ior the Yugoslav trouble
with the Soviet Union are gradually beginning to disappear. Statements in the Yugoslav Communist Party’s newspaper, he says, has made it clear that the Yugoslav Government has gone back to its plan tor a Balkan federation, consisting of Yugoslavia, Albania and Bulgaria. When the Bulgarian Prime Minister, M. Dimitrov, put forward the same proposal earlier this year, he was immediately rebuked by the Soviet newspaper Pravda and climbed down. For the time being the proposal was abandoned, and its revival now, the correspondent says, is undoubtedly one of the reasons for Yugoslavia’s expulsion from the Ccminform.
