Dr. Milan Levee formr member of the Central Committee of the Slovene
Communist Party, who was expelled frozi the Central Committee in January 1947
due to a long standing dispute with the President of the Slovene Government -
Mika Merinko - over the internal policy of the Slovene Governments, made the
following observations to source:
The policy of "Communisation" in Slovenia was being carried out too rapidly
and too radically.
legoslamial and Slovenia in particular, required foreign support. The USSR
was unable to assist because of her own econonic difficulties. Iegoelavia
was therefore obliged to turn to ngland and the United States !Ce melp.
Consequently an understanding, albeit a temporary understanding, with the
Western Powers was essential.
Mika Marinke and the other radical elements of the Central Committee of
Slovene Communist Party were not prepared to consider aey rapprochement with
the west.
Lames also made the following objections:
a. The present policy of the Yugoslav Communiet Party oblivious of the
present economic difficulties faced by Yugoslavia, insisted on
immediate delivery of invaluable manufactured goods and raw mate:dais
in exchange for non-productive Russian war material.
b. The fact that Russia insisted on payment for war materials delivered
to the Partisan movement during the war.
c. That in spite of the great dearth of consumer goods in Yugoslavia,
75% of the total production of many Yugoslav factories was being
exported to Russia. He quoted an example furnished by his nephew -
an officer in a Military Academy in Moscow -who was issued by the
Officers Equipment Depot in Moscow with a pair of shoes manufactured
by the "PESO" shoe factory in Wamnik.
de That Yugoslavia was creating a heavy industry which was being geared
to Soviet economy and destined to operate in the interests of the
USSR and not essentially those of Yugoslavia.

e. That although the USSR was furnishing Yugoslavia with certain
raw materials (e.g0 cotton and wool) these raw materials were
being principally manufactured for export to the USSR and not
for local consumption.
