Propaganda War Only MOSCOW PRESSURE ON BELGRADE
LONDON, August 22 (Rec 2 p.m.) .—-London observers believe that Moscow’s latest Note to Jugoslavia is the green light for a new Cominform bid for the overthrow of Marshal Tito by joint appeals to “loyal” Jugoslav Communists to oust their leader. This note, observers feel, is a peg for the self-justification of the “democratic methods” used by the Communists to achieve a change of leadership.
Moscow’s threat to “resort to other more effective means against Jugoslavia is interpreted by observers to refer specifically to the alleged ill-treatment of Russians and not as a hint of war. The Note, though ominous in. tone, was still no more than a move in the long drawn-out propaganda battle. “More effective means” might be taken against a group of Jugoslav children in Russia, about whose alleged enforced detention Belgrade has already.protested.
