BRITISH TRADE AGREEMENT WITH JUGOSLAVIA
LONDON, December 28.—The Belgrade correspondent of ’ The Times says that the new BritishJugoslav trade agreement, which took 10 months to. negotiate, is warmly welcomed In London as helping Jugoslavia to overcome some of the difficulties,.- caused by the Cominform’s economic blockade. This has denied Jugoslavia machinery, spare parts and industrial raw materials required not only for Marshal Tito’s ambitious five-year industrialisation plan but also to maintain. existing levels of production and keep the country’s dilapidated transport system going.
Many of these things will now come from Britain. The agreement is also seen in London as a measure of the confidence which the British Government feels in the survival of Marshal Tito in the face of the Soviet’s attemps to unseat him.
