REPORT FROM YOUGOSLAVIA. NOTE: The material on which the present report is based has been obtained once more from the same high Yougoslav source as was the ious dispatch sent a month agoe The informant's position giv unique understanding and insight, regarding the causes and facts; these escape the attention of the general press and thus arg oi öutyide the leading circles. The Yougoslav problem cannot be understood by its outward aspects, by official declarations or by charging policies alone. It is important to go to the deep and hidden roots of the whole situatione Looking at Yougoslavia from the inside, the watchful observer will soon detect a double stream, One is formed by the large nation-wide trends, steming from deep-seated traditiorw and feelings. They are the forces that lead and influence public opinion and that always contain an element or at least a possibility of opposition and diversification.e These forces are the nationalities, the needs and ideals of the intelligentsia class, the powerful rural element and the Churches. The other stream follows the opposite movement. It comes from the top, not from the mass. It is not born in wide-spread feelings, but is the diversification, but one of unification. WhatOi@Omeantpsx this second force is the “socialist democracy" as planned and imposed by Tito and his official team, fhe Party's Politbureau is the true source of that unifying ideas It is this Folitbureau - and not the people's representatives in the Western sense - that lays down the rules and the lines. Its directives are carefully followed by the whole administration: by the federal fbarliament, its Presidium and Councils, as well as by the middle and bhranskes lower branches among officials. They have to keep a constant watch and repress all hostile influences — be it in the form of Western ideas of of Gominform intrigues. this, in turn explains the specific aspect of most recent purges that occured in Yougoslaviae Since an ideology has to be defended, it is those who carry agges ~ the schools and universitiss, the judiciadry powers and the/enterprises, the press and the party - that were hardest hit. Where two streams are meeting, a whirlpool is formed and directions changed. This BARES applies to Yougoslavia.e The déep trends coming from the mass clash with the directed marxism from the tope Both have to bend and to compromise, if a united stronger strean, "nd not a break should be the result. £4,
