Punishment For Tito: Cominform Plans To Wreck Yugoslavia
WARSAW, Mon. (11.30 a.ra.). —Leaders of the Cominform were tonight reported to be putting the finishing touches on plans to intensify the press campaign and to increase economic sanctions against Marshal Tito’s regime in Yugoslavia, says the Associated Press.
The Cominform’s three-day session is believed to be .ending tonight, and an announcement of an anti-Tito campaign is expected within a fortnight.
Communist Party leaders from Russia and the Eastern nations started the meeting on Saturday in Karpacz, in Lower Silesia. Informed sources say the Cominform intends to try. every way to wreck Yugoslavia’s economy as punishment for Tito’s deviation from its principles. These sources predict increased propaganda attacks against the North Atlantic Pact and European Recovery Programme. Meanwhile, the Paris correspondent of the Associated Press says there are signs that Yugoslavia and the Western powers may be approaching an official economic understanding. The American Ambassador in Jugoslavia (Mr Cavendish Canon) saw Mr Dean Acheson in Paris today and a spokesman for Mr Acheson said they talked about the European Cooperation Act. It is assumed that they discussed either granting ECA funds to Yugoslavia or lifting certain restrictions on sending supplies to Yugoslavia.
