OUR TRADE WITH THE U.S.A.
Our commercial relations with the U.S.A. are dating as far back
as 18$l when Kingdom of Serbia and United States of America poncluded.
their first commercial agreement known as Treaty on Trade, That, com-
morcial treaty, typical for its time, had been founded on principles.
of liberalism. and greatest possible f-uorization in - internp.tional
economic relations,
Even 57' years later, thnt is in 1938, the actual effect-off.'
our comm,erc:ial'exchange,with the U.S.A. had not been a marked onein
spite of the.fact that the validity of the mentioned treaty,had bE~, n:.
extended. to the entire Yug.oslav territory. It must, however, be'.poIntcd
out .that ..the value of the total exchange with that country, that is, of
imports;.andl;.e;xports, reached in 193$ the figure of 555,2 million dinars
of which imports amounted to 2;9.4 millions or 6.02o of our total
imports, and exports to'255. million or 5.07 of our total exports.
The balance of tradev as, therefore, on the credit side of the U.S.A.
for 43.6 millif,n, dinars: .
.Our pre-war commercial exchange with the U.S.A. consisted
only of a few articles of which copper, beans, hops, and dried sugar
beet shavings have been 'the most important export and cotton, motor
cars and lubricants the most important import articles of our country
from U.S,A. Copper alone represented 70% of our total exports to that
country.
After the war, we made up f r everything that was neglected
in our commercial exchange with U.S.A. before the war. It is true that
we could not say that for the, first post-war period ending, with 1948
when our foreign trade had been directed to the USSR and its present
satelites. But, after reorientation of our foreign trade, mainly in the
course of 1948/49, United States of America started taking a more and
more important position in our foreign trade. The following tables will
illustrate the development of our commercial relations with that country
from 1945 onwards:

ccording to the published statistical data of our foreign.
trade for.1950, the U.S.A. are first in our imports and second on t._;
list in our. exports. Our total trade with that country amounted to
3,626 million dinars in that year.
The pre--war active balance or at least e balanced co oerc~.ral
exchange with that country gave way to a marked debit balance which is
quite conceivable if one were to bear in mind the following facts:
1) The U.S.A. as a country with greatest industrial and
financial potential became in the post-war period as a matter of
course the greatest supplier to the whole world, and particularly
to the countries that suffered greatest destructions in the past war
and that have been confronted with a problem in its most serious form
of post-war economic rehabilitation. It was no wonder then that the
post-,war trade balances of almost all European countries have been on.

the passive side with respect to the U.S.A.
2) Our country,which began putting into effect a vast program
of industrialization,is directed mainly.to the import of machinery from
abroad, above all, from the U.S.A. for which foreign exchange obts.inoor'
from Normal exports are insufficient. As a result of this,, there is
necessity for dollar credits which,' together with foreign exchange o.btr
ed from exports, enable us to procure installations and other technical
equipment from that country,
Raw, materials-it our export to and technical equipment in. :our
irzp its from the V.S.A. ~.re'r.?aying the most important role even tod.ay0
Among our export articles, one should place a particular emphasis upon
lead,'copper, silver, antimony, quick silver, chrom, hops, various
medicinal herbs, feathers and tobacco. It is worth noting that we suc-
ceeded to place in that country in 1950 also a number of articles
which we have not been exporting to that market previosly, Of these,
we will mention marble, home hand-made embroidery, basket-work products,
chairs, tool handles and wine.
In addition to the. technical equipment, an important role is
played in, our imports from that country also by cotton, crude oil,
lubricants and lard. But we must mention here that we have not taken
into consideration also imports deriving from the aid which represents
also an important item in our imports from the U.S.A.
Our trade with U.S.A. enjoys favorable conditions for an even
further development in future.. One. should only pay greater attention
to that market, to its possibilities and specific conditions for trad:','n'
there. Concerning our commercial treaties with the U.S.A.., we must soy
.that they have not been renewed after the war and that the Treaty of
1$$1 is considered to be still valid and that 'cait?j its customs tariff
permits an even greater invigoration oaf our trade with that country.
In addition, a contribution to an even closer economic cooperation with
that country is also an agreement on compensation for the American
nationalized property in Yugoslavia, concluded with'the U.S.A. in 194",
Anyway, the foreign trade policy of the-U.S.A. is not for the short-
term commercial agreements of the European type with their contigents,
but for trade based. on free foreign, exchange transactions,

CELEBRATION OF THE OCTOBER-REVOLUTION
A gala meeting was held l~L's~, pight in Kola,ric Hall to
commemorate the 34th Anniversary- of the October Revolutiot.
Ljubinka Milosavljevic, a member of the Politburo of the CP
Serbia, made aspeech.
"It is impossible today to speak of the October Revolution
and of its significance without meyntLcri:n . tit the same time the road
which the USSR has covered since Lenin's death. On one hand we
have the enormous significance of the October Revolution for the
Russian pro1.etariat and for the international labour movement;
on the other,,the betrayal, of the October j:zevolution and the. trans-
formation of the USSR into a. country of despotic rule and aggression.
"After Lenin's death, the distortion of.the October Revolution
was begun and the role of the USSR has changed in relation to the
international labour movement and in relation to the liberation
movement in the world. Stalin and the.men who surround him have
introduced a despotic, bureaucratic rule; while they have begun
to conduct an.aggressive policy towards the other peoples. They
have started to create a theory which they need for such a
domestic and ,.foreign policy. Speaking about the. experiences of
the October Revolution, Lenin said, 'Every country will become
socialist but every, country will take. a different path to socialism.,
On another occasion Lenin said, 'It' would be absurd to picture our
revolution as being an ideal. one for all countries.1
For over . thirty years after the October Revolution the working
class in the world has been fighting a bloody struggle for its
liberation. The experiences from the"revolutionary struggle in
Germany;,Huungary, Bulgaria, Spain and China and. from the struggles
of the colonial peoples, etc., prove in practice Lenin's views in
connection with the.problem of revolution and relations towards
revolutionary experiences of individual countries. These exper-
iences at'the same time show that the revolutionary practice has
always c.ome into conflict with the theory of revolution'introduced
after Lenin's death by Stalin and that the criterion for appraising
the conditions for revolution was wrong. This theory has also been
proved wrong by the revolution in Yugoslavia. Had not the leader-
ship of our Party seen the specific character of the 'revolutionary
struggle in our country, had it not taken these specific character-
istics into account as well as the international situation, there
would not have been 'a national liberation struggle in our country
and our People's Revolution would not have taken place and won a
victory.
"During our struggle we continuously received reminders from
the leadership of the USSR that we had gone too far in the develop-
ment of the revolutionary movement and that we were not keeping to
Stalin's teaching about two phases of a revolution--that is, that
we had gone quickly to a proletarian revolution. They advised us
to fight against the invader together with 0raza i'4iha.jlovic's Chetniks
although we furnished sufficient proof on the traitorous role of
Draza Mahajlovic and on the character of his movement. We were
severely reprimanded for the creation of our proletarian brigades
because, in their opinion, the revolution in Yugoslavia was devel-
oping too rapidly. We thought at that time that all 'this was due

to the lack of- knowledge of the force of the revolutionary movement
.and of its- conditions of struggle in Yugoslavia. Today when we
know how. much; the character of the authority in the USSR has changed,
it is cle4r to us that the'objections to the creation of our
proletarian , brigade-s were not only for the, reason of the theory of
two:phases'of a revolution. It was not for the sake of the interests
of the-revolution in.Yugoslav.ia and of the revolutionary movement
in the world that Radio Moscow sang odes to Draza Plihajlovic and
that it removed. the singing of these odes from its program only when
the truth about the collaboration of the Chetniks with the invader
was known all over the world. The declaration of the Government of
the USSR that the Resolutions of the Second Session of the Anti-
Fascist .Council for National Liberu::tion of Yugoslavia (AVNOJ) was a
'knife in the back' to the interests of the Soviet Union--was in
fact an attempt, by the leadership of the USSR to stick a knife in
the back of the, revolution in Yugoslavia. They held back the
revolutionary struggle of the people of Yugoslavia because they
feared the victory of our revolution, since this victory could be
a nuisance in their bargaining for the division of spheres of
interest. The leadership of the USSR thereby showed its readiness
to attack. every revolutionary movement which was not convenient for
their hegemonistic plans, which did not support and. broaden their
hegemonistic interests.,
"Having thus started to fight our revolution during the''war,
the leadership of the USSR had to make an open attack on the achieve
ments of our revolution. In front of the eyes of the entire world,
there-has been revealed the grave betrayal of all the ideas pro-
claimed by thu October Revolution, the betrayal carried out by
Stalin and. the other leaders of the USSR.. Upon the buried achieve-
ments of the October Revolution, there has sprung up a despotism
of the times of the Czars and the aggressive idea of the Great
Russia which.the leadership of the USSR is trying to camouflage
by the theory on revolution, on. the leading role of the USSR--that
is, of the Russian nation.
(Here follow a few quotations from Lenin and A-ardel j . )
.
"According to the theories on the leading role of the USSR, no
socialist country can be on equal footing with the Soviet Union;
the other nations are obligated. to glorify 'the Great Russian People,
In the name of these theories,' the leadership of the USSR is* be-
littling the revolutionary struggle and the revolutionary achieve-
ments of the other peoples; it is falsifying history < nd is today--
to the great shame of the Russian intelligentsia--conducting law
suits the whole world over in connection with the 'priority' of
Russian science and Russian culture over all other scientific
achievements. In the name of these theories, the leadership of the
USSR is today holding 'in'national slavery and is economically ex-
ploiting some of the Eastern European Countries, belittling and
trampling upon their national values and their revolutionary
traditions. The national economy of these countries is being ex-
ploited through joint companies. The governments of these countries
,,cannot decide anything by themselves, they are ordinary agencies
of the Soviet Union and in fear of their severe master they have
turned against the interests of their own people.
"It is only due to the the idealistic and political
weakness of the workers' movement and to the weakness of the

monstruous game with the destines of other peoples can be played
and still-be presented to a:.segment of'the working class and to
many of the progressive men in the. world as the 1l8gding role of
the USSR in the struggle for socialism.' And it is indeed a bit
of good luck that a conflict has taken place between the Soviet
Union and Yugoslavia because it is ' just -in this conflict that. the
real tenor of the theory on the leading role of the Soviet Union
has been revealed in its true essence, because the revolutionary
mask has been pulled from the. face of the hegemonistic and imper-
ialistic aspirations of the leaders of the Soviet Union. This
conflict has: shown. in a most obvious way that the leaders of the
USSR are interested in the revolutionary movements in the world
only from the point of view of realising their own plans. This
conflict has revealed whet a theoretical and idealistic chaos
prevails in the heads of men who have monopolised Marxism-Leninism
and transformed these teachings into their dogmas. It is only by
freeing itself of the illusions about' socialism in the USSR and
about its leading role that the ,'.interna ti'onal labour movement can
develop'its forces today and discover true roads of struggle for
socialism. By resisting the furious onslaughts of the USSR, by
defending the achievements' of their People's Revolution, the
peoples of Yugoslavia have shown not only that it is possible to
attain socialism without falling into tho national slavery of the
Soviet Union but ' that it is also the first condition for -a
country to be ablo to take the path to socialism.
"The attempt made by the leadership of the USSR in 194 to
turn Yugoslavia into its colony.by means of false accusations,
slanders and finally open threats has killed in many of the
progressive men in the world their faith in socialism. Today
the example of Yugoslavia and of her struggle for preservation of
her independence is a. great encouraperilent to the entire. progressive
world which looks to socialism as to a realisation of its aspira-o
tions for a free. and. worthy life.
"Under the leadership of our Party, headed by Comrade Tito,
we are fighting against enormous difficulties connected with the
backwardness of our.count:ry. It is only the enemies of human
progress and the counter-revolutionaries who can-rejoice at the
difficulties against' which the peoples of Yugoslavia are fighting
today in order to build--u:p socialism. -It is for this reason that
Yugoslavia has attracted the sympathies of the freedom-loving
world. "

IMPERIALISM AND DESPOTISM UNDER A MASK OF SOCIALIST PHRASES:
CO NT OF THE CC CPSU b ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE OCTOBER
REEEOJT ON
As much as they have susceeded in liquidating the fruits
of the October Revolution and their internal and 'foreign.policy and
practice is anti-socialist and anti--marxist'--"the hitherto results
obtained by the bureaucratic caste. in the. Soviet Union~are.as yet not
such that it can unveil freely its real face and stop to'dress
up in socialist slogans and bear the aureole'as succssesor in
Lenin's teachings.It cannot do this because-inspite of heavy blows
which it dealt to the idea which inspired the October Revolution -
all the fruits have not been-destroyed as yet,The recollection of
Lenin is still living in.the minds of the masses,From here comes
the hypocrisy of the bureaucratic caste which glorifies socialism,
revolutionary marxist theory and the October Revolution with words,
and at the same time,carries out in practice the dastardly act of
counter-revolution,
For this-reason-the bureaucratic caste in the USSR will . .
eelebrate tlio this time,as she did before,the anniversary of the
October Revolution,,parades,academies, will be held while the high
dignitaries will make speeches and give lectures in'-which they will
attempt to present themselves as the legitimate heirs of the October
Revolution, This time also the Central Committee of the CPSU (b )
has made public the usual slogans in connection with the anniversary
of the Revolution which begin with greetings to October and end
'with'an appeal " toward victory of Communism ".But as much as their
authors were e1illfu3i,magicians they.did not succeed in.covaring in
a shroud of revolutionary phrases their anti-socialist internal ).'-l
and imperialist foreign policy so that its reactionary contents are
uncovered immediately in full nakedness.
In fact the.'-gap,,. between. the road marked. by the October
Revolution and the road along which the bureaucratic caste led and leads
to-day the Soviet Union is such that no lies are capable to endure
so much tension without breaking up and showing the true face,
A socialist Revolution if it develops consequently and normally
must result in.socialist society in which it is impossible to imagine
any supports for imperialistic,aggressive and hegemonistic tendencies
in regard to the outside world. However in the slogans of the C1aSU (bti
in connection with the 34th Anniversary of the October Revolution
we read as one of the most important foreign policy slogans an appeal
to " supporters of Peace in the whole world " to strive with all their
might for .a Pact of the Five Great Powers)the division of spheres of
interest,the reshaping of the geographical map and the sacrificing of
small nations to the altar of Imperialism.How can one harmonize tales
about equality-and the struggle of the peoples for 11 Jrdedom 'and-nationa l
independence" , " against foreign conquerors" with the Pact of the
Great Powers,which according to its nature is nothing else but the
complete ignoring of equality between the great and the small and the
cynical ridiculing of national freedom and sovereignity of small nations
and countries ?
In the slogans of the Central Committee of the CPSU ( b )
are. sent 11 brotherly greetings to all peoples who are fighting against
aggressors and warmongers for Peace,for democracy,for socialism ", and
in practice, the signatories of these slogans are the initiators of the
merciless cominfcrmist-aggressive pressure against socialist Yugosla-
via, which provokes tension and threatens Peace in the world. The
authors of these slogans,true' to their aggressive practice, did not
even adesist from including amongst their " peace creating" slogans
one which refers to uur country and which is intended to incite the
continuation of the cold War against Yugoslavia, Glorifying"Peace "

DISCUSSION ON THE REORGANISATION OF THE LOCAL AG1NCIIS OF AUTHORITY
Throughout the country in all the districts 'and' villages dis-
cussion is still being carried on concerning the new administrative-
territorial division of the local agencies of authority, on the
creation of the people's committees of municipalities whereby broader
municipal communities are to'be.'created which will represent economic
wholes. In this discussion attention is being paid not only to
villages within districts but also to the new boundaries insofar as
their position is such that-it is in the interests of one or another
district 'where ?the boundary should be drawn.
The Plenum of the People's Committee of the District of
Arandjelovac has proposed among other things that the village of
Dragolj, which is situated in the District of Ljig, be joined to
the Village of Bosut and the two villages be under one municipal
people's committee. In the making of this proposal, the economi.e
link of the two villages and the wishes of the peasants have been
taken into consideration. This is what is said in the report:
"_Thenever meetings were held in the villages of Bosut and Jelovik?
(the voters and the mass People's Front conferences), there were ---
,al wa y 3 a large number of peasants from the village of Dragol$?'F
In connection with that report our correspondent from LJ ig,
Dragutin Matie, has sent us a report from which it can be seen that
the plenum of the district of Ljig had also debated about the
village of Dragolj and had arrived at the conclusion that it would
be wrong to join it to the district of Orasac. It cannot be seen
from the report (unless our correspondent has overlooked this),
whether or not the plenum of the People's Committee of the District
of Ljig had proposed that the village of Bosut be joined to their
district. It has only been noted that the proposal of the district
of Orasac is not correct for the following reasons:
"It can be justly said that in the village of Dragolj it is
a regular occurrence that all the conferences are. attended by an
approximate number of twenty people from the village of Bosut,
which is quite logical since most of the vill&.:.gers of Bosut use
the road which goes through Dragolj. The citizens of Bosut after
the liberation built a school together with the citizens of llragolj;
the school was built in Drago~j and. today the children of both
villages attend that school. The hamlet of Strazevic, which belongs
to Bosut, is surrounded on three sides by the village of Dragolf,
The villagers of Dragolj do not have a suitable road to use. If
they were to go to Arandjelovac, their future district seat, they
would have to go in a much more roundabout way than if they were to
go to Ljig."
Taking these reasons into consideration, it is quite proper that
the villa,-;e of Dragolj should remain in the Ljig district. But what
then should be clone with the village of Bosut which is so closely
connected with )ragolj? From this one can conclude that the pro-
posal made by the people of the district of Orasaac to join the two
villages is a correct one. lde cyan also say that the proposal of
the district of Ljig, that Dragolj remain in that district, is also
a. correct one.

Here we have in fact two different proposals, the essence of
which is the same. The reasons put forward by both 'parties speak
in favour of joining Bosut and .Dragolj into one local people's
committee. And whether the new municipal people's committee will
belong to one or the other district is another question which
,must be thoroughly studied before making a final decision. The,
reasons put-forward by the Ljig district are sufficiently'strong
for a decision to include the new municipal people's committee in
it. But the reasons for joining these two local people's,
committees into one are still stronger.

ANOTHER REPORT ON THE LJUBLJANA It HIGH SCHOOL OF RRACTION"
Ever oince the article entitled "High School of Ruaction" Vts.s
published in "Slovenski P(rocevalec ) the editors have been
getting letters from various people including clergymen and
theologians, But as there is no space for the publication of
all those reports, it was decided to publish one sent inYby
a theologian. A"ong other things he stated the following.
The readers of the "S1ovenski Porbeevalec" might be won-
dering why there is so much publicity regarding the Ljubljana
Seminary, public discussion is necessary beqauso the question
of theologians and their education has become an urgent problem
of late, especially with regard to, the attitude which should be
taken by the clergy towards the new situation in our country,
We, honest theologians, although few in number, would like to
make our point of view clearly known to the public. B. Bratkovie
suggested in his article published on 21 October that the Seminary
must be dissolved claiming that the situation in it demanded $ba.s.
This suggestion would be Justifiable provided that there could be
no other solution. But we think that a different way out of the
current situation is possible.
Hc,wever, one thing should not be forgotten by our theologians
and clergy*.men today.: they must all bear in mind that we ar sin a
country which has-broken away from the old social order'and%engaged
upon the building up of a new both social and.. economic order guaran-
teeing everybody s fu-.1 .`ospcrity,. Education in the Ljubljana
Seminary - cannot prepare the future clergymen for . the fulfilment
of their tasks in thtsariew conditionse One of the main things is
to have understanding for the new aspirations and the new people.
The leaders of this Seminary try by all means to. isolate the
theologians from the current reality in our country and the world
in general. Theologians live as if they were not at all concerned.
about current events. Visitors are allowed to come to the Seminary
only once a week for half an hour. For any lca_ving of the building
a permission is required. There is always some excuse for refusal of
permission for the attendance of cinema or.theatre performances.
As regards the paper "Nove Poti" (New Paths) published by the
Association of the Slovene Catholic Clergy called. Cyril and Metho-
dius which contains current, practical and realistic reports,
the leaders of the Seminary maintain it harmful to the education
of theologians. Therefore' its latest number 6-7-8 was strongly
condemned by the authors of reformation publications.. It con-
tained an interesting. article. by Dr. Janzekovic and the theologians
believed that they would-be able to get hold of it. The?chief
editor of "New Paths" and the Dean of the Faculty of Theology,
Dr. CaJnkar reserved 30 number for theologAansa Franc Dolzan
brought those copies into the Seminary, ..?.puty Rector of the
Seminary asked Dolzan to come to see him and. bring the papers
along; from that time nobody could see the papers any more,.
Dr. Piogncnik, Deputy Rector, could give an explanation where the
papers disappeared.
On August 1, 1951, Dr. Cepovan declared the following:
"You should beg for the prisoners and those who are members of
the Cyril and Methodius Association because they are the worst
renegades in the Slovene history since Trubarl s time". He probably
believed that those clergymen will feel uneasy because of this..

This while situation has a strong resemblance to the Middle
Ages, or secondary schools, or to a policy of waiting for the return
of the old regime. However deplorable this may be, it is true. A
change should be introduced from above, but not by the theologians
themselves. In this connection, one should display understanding
for the new historical facts and the tasks of patriots, We cannot
avoid the fulfilment of our national duties by no means, but should
prepare necessary ''sees for action in the spiritual field.
The existance of this Seminary could be justified in that case and
simultaneously enjoy the sympathy of the whole people. For this
purpose we need a good. library to be available in the Seminary..
We especially need various papers and magazines. The leaders of
the Seminary should. put to an end their distrust of the leading
professors at the Faculty of Theology, It will essentially be
necessary to establish mutual ties between the theologians and
the Association of Clergymen, Tale question of going to cinema,.
theatre and concerts should also be solved. In a word, one should
get rid of everything that reminds us of the old and is inspired
by a reactionary policy,
Or task is to become a clergyman with clear prospects for
the future, a useful member of the society, but not a defender
of the old pre-war Yugoslavia and. the capitalist regime, which
is the aim of the current leaders of the Ljubljana Seminary.,
