25X1A in which he
replied to Mo3 otovq s speech in Warsaw on 22 July has been widely discussed
in all political circles in Belgrade0 Tito ' s speech is most frequently
commented on in these circles as follows :
a4 Very harsh, with attacks directed against the Bolshevik regime in
a form never before useda
b0 An attack completely open and clear, appearing as a definite cessation
of all relations, breaking the thread-like ideological ties which have
linked until now the Yugoslav Communist Party to the CPSU0 After what
Molotov said about the Yugoslav Communist Party in Warsaw, and after
what Tito said about the USSR at Kozara,; no common ideals can exist
between the two countries. Their ideologies should not have a common
name, because each contends that the other is not Communist,,
However, at Kozara Tito replied not only to Molotov, but to all those who
believed that the Communist regime in Yugoslavia would permit the slow
formation of a multiparty system in Yugoslavia. Tito showed his fist
not only to Molotov, but also to his many friends in the west who re-
cor,nended the creation of a multi-party system Tito has categorically
reused to adopt this proposal and with all his strength continues to
create a Communist country. Because of his attitude, which is somewhat
unrealistic for a small country like Yugoslavia, the Kozara speech created
doubt in the minds of many people?
