TUESDAY, NOVEMBER Premier Tito Says Force Of No Use Belgrade, Nov. 30.--(AP)--What's behind the current wave of self- criticism engaged in by Yugoslavia's top political leaders? Foreign 'observers in Belgrade are fairly sure it does not mean any knuckling -down to the Communist International Information Bureau, which recently attacked Premier Tito and his leading Communist lieutenants for deviating from the party line, It can be recalled, however, that one of the charges brought by the Cominform was that Tito's leader- ship did not adhere strongly enough to the Marxist-Leninist policy of self-criticism, that it did not admit its shortcomings. A paramount shortcoming in the eyes of Moscow and the Cominform countries was the Tito government's failure to Sovietize the peasants. And what has been the form of the self-criticism engaged in during "he last two weeks by Tito and his deputies? ol premier himself, addressing the Croatian Communist party, said: "The people must be convinc- 5 LATE CET EO PORE FU CY NERNEY SORE SR A BREE SERENE TR hs = ed that this (the Communist re- gime) is the best authority and you (the Communists) must prove this to the people by your deeds and by your actions. You must go to the masses and you must teach your- "selves and others." Then Tito added: "You can't or- der peasants around. You must explain to them fully and careful- ly." Y That, to say the least, was an im- portant departure from the general methods employed in other Com- munist countries. Two days ago Yugoslavia's vice- premier, Eduard Kardelj, admitted that not all of the much-publicized 30, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN | "voluntary" work of the Yukoslavs in rebuilding their country had been truly voluntary. : To foreign observers in this Com- munist state it vas a startling con- fession. In trying to assess the new wave of frankness and self-criticism, po- litical observers agree it might be an indication of Tito's confidence in the strength of his regime.

Sir Stafford May Journey To Paris Paris; Nov. 30.--(Reuters) -- Sir Stafford Cripps, Britain's Chancel- lor of the Exchequer, may come to Paris this week-end to try to break. the deadlock with which Marshall- plan countries have been confront- ed by Britain's four-year recovery plan, it was learned today. The British plan, as disclosed here, has cast a chill among the Marshall-plan countries and, be- cause of its austerity, is said to have completely dislocated the timetable for producing an agreed four-year "master-plan" for all Europe. Marshall-plan countries had promised to hand this "master plan" to the roving Marshall aid ambassador, Averill Harriman, Dec. 15. But as their representatives assembled here Monday to draw it up it was learned there was no chance of its being presented on time, Britain's revolutionary plan for foreign trades in the next four years has radically upset the ideas of other Marshall-plan countries by providing for an export surplus to Western Europe of $49,000,000 in- stead of the pre-war surplus of $600,000,000. The continental mem- bers of the Marshall group had bas- ed their plans on the pre-war pat- tern. In producing the British plan, however, Sir Stafford and his ace planner, Sir Edwin Plowden, head of the British Economic Planning Committee, believe Britain can and must be made independent of American aid by 1952, but that she cannot hope by that time to re-es- tablish free imports. Four years hence, when Marshall aid ends, they believe Britain will still have to buy chiefly essentials. Accordingly the British. four-year plan provides for an export surplus to Western Europe. .
