Report from London: what holit,ical -order, .is based on
unrestricted )o'ssibilities of com-ilaint, petition and on a number-'of
reouests for. renewed judgment of. lready settled affairs and relations,
regardless of the idea of the judged matter., established rights and
similar, which is secured fully by the ?)ower of ut-hority of -higher
officers .in administration in ' relation. to the lower ones, as-well as
with the urinci,jle that the hither. official. in authority- can.-amend or
abolish the decisions and conclusion of the lower officersin authority.
It.was?,considered .that such a system of organisation of authority
com )lies. fully to the needs `of a . modern state and to the volume and
im "ortance of tasks of state a dministrz,ti.on. in 711 sectors of state
and social life,
However, the administration, in the very , fulfilling? of tasks and
functions, in a great number of cases, decides concerning the rights
and oblii ations: of the citizens, both of individuals and corporate
bodies. The officers in administration, by their decisions in the
broad field of application of law , create or change. (amend), concrete
legal situations of individuals end cor)orate, bodies. Therefore the
equalisation of this. branch of Pctivities of officers in administra-
tion a.t that kind of 'their actiVitie,s, in which they decide concerning
matters of oneral interest, con.ce-"i inp; tasks of economy and. its
develo-oment, as well as cons-rninre other state and socia'l." tasks and
objectives, had to lead u) to a situati.on where. it sh.owe.d itself as
unfounded end4njustified in two ways. ' ~In t_,;, ' "first -):Lace the
im lo:rtance of r::s ?on.sibility in deciding;. t'-ese ' other . tasks eliminated
the necessary attention while e.xaminin~-:: and deciding the first ones,
Or the other way about, grater engagement in deciding the first
tasks was or could be detrimental to the necessary attention in
deciding these other tasks. Ex-oerience has shown that the lack of
control in administrative procedure can be executed on:1y in fairly
restricted established limits. And in spite of tho.fact that the
hitherto forms of control over the work in e dministration 'was an
im )ortant means fbr'secur. ink; law, such control could not still give
the necessary . guarantees. for .the - >rotection of citizens' ri.;hts.
The shortcomings of such a system of control lie also in the .fact that
the citizens had not the right to start by themselves proceedings
for the abolition of rescinding of acts which they consider as
illegal, because the starting of these ')roc.eedin;s depended on the
will of the higher organ in administration, namely on the Public
Prosecutor, On the other side it a ~,,~

tasks, and thet th,e:y: would jay less attention to the interests of
indit idur ls, i,~nd fine ll`r, the final ,judgment rendered on acts of law
of of:ficer:ss,. in a dministration. is in the hands, of the administration
itself, ;ar-.d therefore: it is quite c__-rr " -it. such .'a system ;-Vould
not secure a` c )ntrol of the. law in the Q..ork of the administration as a
whole, The. introduction of administrative ,judicature changes basically
this state of affairs; The control over the work 'of officers 'in admin-
istration when they create or change with-their acts concrete positions
of individuals and corporate bodies makes this more ob.iective.- The
right of control in administrative-judicial )rocedure obtains large
limits, because puts individual and corporate bodies on an equal
footing with the officers in administration, whose acts in regard to
the right aaplication of the law are challenged, one comes to the
contradictory exposing of the fact which characterise an established
legal case. A constructive struggle begins for the right application
of the law intellectual effort of the participators is deepened
for correct legal conceptions and thus is given not only the greatest
possible degree of guarantee to citizens' rights but also the authority
officers in administration- and jracticQ in their work is strengthened,
The objective criterion both for authority and )ractice of adminis-
tration is contained in Article 8 of the Constitution of the FPRY,
where the 3r.inciple is proclaimed that all acts of officers in adminis-
tration must be based u.--)on law. Therefore the appliance of this
princi-ple and the securing of its appliance by way of administrative
judicature is in no way and cannot be &n,-'contradiction with the system
of legislature and the conditions of our constitutional and social
order. The appliance of these jprinciples- is not-in the some way in
contradiction with but in fact in full harmony with the dynamics of
our development and with the basic )ostuletions of itz socialist essence,
because the strengthening of control of law in the domain of citizen's
rights stress in the first plane the basic idea of this essence, namely,
that the total effort in the direction of creating socialist social
relations has as its ultimate goal - the securing of the citizens'
rights, the respect of the human dignity -nr-' _-_a7_isetion of their
better and ha ?ier life. The ap d1.iarynce of this principle is in full
harmony with the idea of democratic centralism, because the intro-
duction of administrative judicature represents a step further in the
development of the organisation of control of administration and the
securing of general lawfullness in the c-untry. And finally, the
quantitative volume and im,ortance of tasks of a modern state is thus
practically and qualitatively overcome, because on one whole sector of
state and social life the set tasks are realised in oroceeddre-which
alleviates and secures the correct ap )lication of the law and besides
offers the greatest )ossibilities to the administration to pay the
necessary attention to the realisation of numerous tasks in all other
sectors of state and social life. This is com )rehensible because tlaa
practice of administrative collegiums of su.reme courts will alleviate
and conform the work and activities of organs in administration in the
voluminous domain of the appliance of law, where the taking of action
An administrative disputes is out of place.

(arachi 22nd. January
According to a U.. P. report, diplomatic observers in
Pakistan. consider that Soviet attacks on U.N. efforts to resolve
the four-year dispute between"India and Pakistan concerning
Kashmir, may be an indication of an intensification.o'-the cold
wetr in this part of the world. However, many think that the
statement of the Soviet .delegate, Jakob Malik, in the Security" `
Council is a pro ,og.nda manoeuvre which aims at affecting the
elections In India or at preventing the rapprochemnt. betwe"e.rt the
USA and India of which there have been signs.
In Pakistan, the., chief opinion is that the Soviet Union would
take care to. maintain this permanent source-,of 'hostility and porman
ent danger of wa.r?.,b(.twern India, and Pakistan, "which. the Kashmir
dispute provides,.. This taould, serve. s a ,means of " expansion of
Soviet influence in ., these .areas. Thus, certain obs ;rvcrs point out
that the USSR 'would be able'to achieve a good deal if a weak and'
independent Kashmir were to continue on the borders of China,.

which are being carried out and. which should be explained to the

Many discussions are tak.in; ,place now in the districts and towns,
in PF and 'syndicate organise ti.ons concerning this year''s Social Plan.
The tax collection is also an 'irip.ortent question concerning :which the
deputies might discuss with the`voters., In-some districts they are
occurrences where`taxes'are not collected as they should be. Somewhere
they are assessed too high and somewhere too low. The deputies could
contribute a great deal.:by explaining the directives of the CC CPY
concerning the further social transformation of the village at the
moment when they are visiting villages, peasent working o-operatives,
mechanisation fund, etc. Further, elections for the committees of
basic PF organisations are already ; b.e.ing. carried - through in' Serbia

useful ,o:)ro )osals.
The Deputy Sinisa Stankovic pro:. nosed that in future at such and

(Belgrade',' 22nd January)
An Hungarian patrol which in company of a'person wearing
civilian..clothes was.moving in the frontier sector nine and a half
kilomItr.es.due northeast of Subotica in the vicinity. of Post No.
117 yesterday beforenoon fired on a Yugoslav sentinel in 'the
region who was standing at a place 2.50 metres.. inside Yugoslav
territory.:.One of the.shots fired by the Hungarians severely
wounded the Yugoslav frontier guardsman Alil I,Talisevski., who was
born in 1929 in the village of Pohum in the district of Struga.
When another Yugoslav frontier guardsman came to the assistance
of wounded 1"'alisevski, the Hunga.rian patrol fired at him also.
The Hungarian soldiers. fired another six shots on two other Yugo-
slav frontier guardsmen coming to the rescue of their wounded
comrade.
The wounded Yugoslav frontier guardsman, A%Tali.sevski, was
immediately taken to a hospital in Subotica where an urgent
operation was performed.
This most recent hostile action of the Hungarian soldiers
together with other aggressive actions carried out by Hungarian
armed forces on the Yugoslav-Hungarian border recently reveal
the intention of the Hungarian Government to maintain by inciting
and carrying out such and similar provocations the existing
strained situation on the Yugoslav-Hungarian frontier.
In connection with this most recent planned aggressive action
by the Hungarian frontier guards, the I'Tinistry of Foreign Affairs
of the FPRY will take corresponding steps with the Hungarian
Government. (Tanjug)

PROTESTS OVER THE HOSTILE ACTIONS OF THE BULGARIAN AND HUNGARIAN
NM. NTH -
(Belgrade, 23rd Janu-ary)
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the FFRY is every day
receiving telegrams and letters from mass organisations and people's
committees from all over. the country in which most energetic
protests are registered over the most recently committed crimes by
the Bulgarian Cominformists who condemned to death Yugoslav
citizens Danilo Doncic and Tafil Redzepov. In the protest resolution
passed at the meeting of the War Veterans Association of the
Razanj district, it is said in part: "Wde believed. that the misdeeds
performed by the Bulgarian Fascists during the Second World War in
a number of places in the Razanj district were the last crimes
committed by the enemies of brotherhood and friendly cooperation
between our country and Bulgaria. In the interest of peace and
friendship we have been prepared to forget the past. However,
despite all this the Bulgarian authorities are continuing their
crimes against our peoples. This shows that there is no difference
at all between the former ruling group in Bulgaria and the present
one.' The citizens of the town of `,,'ranje, which is the birthplace
of convicted Danilo Doncic, also point out in a resolution taken
at their protest meeting that the past and present crimes of the
Bulgarian power-holders show that there is no difference,at all
between the Bulgarian Fascists and the Bulgarian Cominformists.
In the resolution a demand is made.that the Bulgarian Government

immediatoly stop its hostile activity towards Yugoslavia. It is
also stated that the citizens of Vranje most energetically support
all the efforts made by the Government of the FPRY to save the
innocent lives of Yugoslav citizens in Bulgaria.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the FFRY has also received
a protest resolution passed by the inhabitants of he Slatina
Radenci district in connection with the forcible annexation of the
Yugoslav islet in the Mura River by the Hungarian soldiers.
Enumerating the crimes committed by Hungarian Fascists in the past
and those committed now by the ' Hungarian Cominformists against the
Yugoslav peoples, by order of 1~Moscow, the protest resolution also
states that the. Cominformists ',aggressors had hoped that the.
forcible occupation of the Yugoslav islet would provoke armed
reaction by Yugoslavia so that they would be able to accuse Yugo-
slavia of alleged, attack on Hungary.

EDITORIAL COPLENT ON L,,TEST HUNGARIAN J HO\ OCAT1UN
The Hungarian Cominformists have not stopped at the seizure of the
Yugoslav .island on the river .1N_.ura. Their frontier -patrols have heavily
wounded our frontier guard Alil- Malisevski. Both are hostile acts
directed agai.nst Yugoslavia, executed at the moment.when the,General
Assembly of the UN is still in session and where the delegates of the
Cominform countries tried their best to Go'nvince.the world : of ' peace-
lovingness of-their policy,. However, the democratic public has once
more been convinced that on the borders of Yugoslavia`.the systematic
policy of )rovocation as a part of the a,greesive anti *Yugoslav withhunt
is continued.
This latest criminal attack of Hun: ari_an Frontier guards u,?on the
the guardian of our fatherland )roves only that the aggressive )olicy
of Cominform countries against `(ugoslavia.is not changing and that the
Yugoslav Government wars ' in the ri, ht a short time ago when it Jointed
out at the UN the danger which threatens peace from.that side. The
provocative seizure of the Yugoslav island on the Mura which was
executed-by the Hun;a.rian frontier military units, the sentences of
death gassed on innocent Yu osla v citizens at the Plovdiv trial and
the )resent .criminal. attack u?on the Yugoslav border guard are new-
exam,les of aggressive ?jressure u)on our country.
The object which the Cominformist Governments attempt to obtain
with these latest aggressive attacks u)on Yugoslavia is quite clear.
The'. attention of world ?.ublic o:.)inion must be everted from these
noh2'pea,celoving acts and uresent Yugoslavia as the su yosed aggressor.
Yugoslavia should be held exclusively responsible for all that which
ha-)--)ens in this :)art of, the world, which endangers peace, - namely
to me'ke Yurg-;oslavia :responsible for their own aggressive and non
peaceloving ;ool'icy.
On the other hand, the Cominformists on the borders of Yugoslavia
seem to be nervous because of the situation in their own countries-so
that; they compete in hostile.-acts towards. Yugoslavia. The peoples of
Cominform countries live in insu )portable 'worsting; and living conditions,
thanks to the" orotherly"aid of the USSR. But all these falsehoods
and tricks of Cominformist regimes cannot hide the truth about Yu=o-
slavia who, without anybody's tutorship, lives independently and who
is building herself up with her own forces, ?p
Because of all this, the ^'overnments of these countries, sub,jut'ated to
Moscow's policy, attern~t by means of -)rovocat.ions on the Yugoslav
borders and by sta, ini: anti-Yugoslav tria1s,tfl4 vert the attention of
their own masses from the positive exam)le of Yug,oslavia. Such acts
prove once. more what means have to be us?.d by the Cominformist Govern-
ments in order that they might hold their masses in obedience, and on
the other side, to Justify the confidence which is shown to them by
their- Kr~zn.iin masters.
The true character of this latest )r.cvocation by Hungarian frontier
organs on the Yugoslav-Hungarian border cannot be hidden. The Hungarian
Cominformists have once more shown that they are carrying out against
Yugoslavia an aggressive )olicy dictated by v!oscow, The whole world
knows that such a policy endangers peace. The Hungarian
Government, by the seizure of the Yugoslav island on the Mura river
showed that it does not care about the )er ceful solution 'of disputes
with Yugosle via. Ignoring the decision of the UN. that the countn es of
the Soviet bloc are res.)onsible for t1 tense situation in the Balkans,
the Hungarian Government with this latest border provocation takes the
whole responsibility for its aggressive acts against Yugoslavia

NEW WAY QF ISSUING; IMPORT AND EXPORT PERMITS IN FOREIGN TRADE

will precisely determine which articles can be imported or exported.
All permits for import and export as well'as for payment will

~?iiKOSI I C=t T TI ~YU K RS
On 12th January a meeting was held n. l.udP ooe.st the leaders of
the more im )ortant ,economic enter2rises.?which occu. )y themselves with
this year's planned tasks.' Speeches which Rakosi and G-ere held on
this occasion prove that the Hungarian economy does not execute the
tasks as set in the framework of Moscow's Dians. Gere in fact did
mention a figure according'to which the total production plan of
Hungarian industry for 1951 hens been "fulfilled end surpassed". But
at the same time he. informed his 'eud.ience that the coal mines and
oil -'Drociucti on did not- fulfill the elan and that in metallurgy matters
did not go smoothly,, These ~.re the industrial branches, which in the
Soviet plans for building up war industry-in,-Hungary have..a decisive
im-:1ortance,.
However, Rakosi and his collaborators cannot be blamed for not
"striving" sufficiently for the fulfillment of the plan. They held
innum~rsble speeches,.they introduced "Soviet methods of work" accepted
a whole army of "brotherly ex )erts" , introduced "shifts of peace"
in honour of Stalin.. Besides this they continually threatened the
workers. However., all this did not help much. On this account the
pressure u)on the workers has~:taken enormous proportions, which h us
the.objective of forcing the workers to produce as much as possib:.e
with the lowest possible . wa -e s. -
Measures against s'undisci'alined" workers
The leaders of economic.enterprises were authorised a long time ago
to penalise independently "undisciilined workers", The -Budapest
masters remind them very often of the rii hts which they have on the
basis of the "holy' princi Dles of individual management of enter-
prises copied from the USSR.
By the principle: "You hold the workers responsible and we will
hold you responsible", the leaders in economy and directors have
been brought into the position, willy nilly, of becoming the closest
accom)lices of the bureaucratic leaders in oppression and exploitation
of workers. Rakosi boasts with pride that the participation of
workers in the management of factories, which was necessary in the
period of taking over enterprises from capitalists has been fully
substituted by the individual !power and authority of directors,
foremen, etc. He is proud of the process in which the workers
are deorived of the least participation in the. mars gement of enter-
prises,
This is what Gere says: "The responsibility of the managers has
increased, the individual character of managing; economy has come to
the fore..... But therefore directors in many places are still named
'leaders of enterprises' because they are afraid that the name
'director', sounds somehow bourgeois."
Gere continues: "In other places they go to the other extremity
and ..... name the director in a bourgeois way 'leader' although it
is a well-known fact in our country that we have only one leader, our
beloved Comrade Rakosi'".
Forced labour for absenteeism
1,s a su i -,lement to the rights of the directors to ?enalise workers,
the Supreme Court of Hungary brought a decision a short time ago
"concerning iudiciel protection of national economy". By this
decision the violation of workin; d.i r-c '1 ire is cue lif.ied as a
criminal act for workers who violate workin, disci dint are foreseen

penalties of an "educational" character . . from one month to two years.
The sentences are served at the earlier workin ale ce of the ciil grit
with decreasedyfYom 10 to 2.5%. If the worker violates e ain work-
inp disci line his sentence can be changed into hard labour. Zany
such sentences have been already >assed on the basis of this decision
by Reeionel.Courts.
This decision of the Supreme Court of ungary represents in fact
the. interpretation of the "bode concernin. work" which has been passed
as early as January 1951. This law derived the workers of the right
to change their places`of em?loyment according to their wish. Its new
interpretation has the Jur-)ose of.forcing the worker by fear to work.
Besides, the increase in the number..of sentenced: workers should
"decrease" the costs of )roduction,
"The raisinp of the level of .3roduction" and the penalising of
workers has not solved the )roblem of im)rovin-, working discipline,
harmonising .the temyoo.,of work and ;-)roduction of qualitative )roducts.
The causes for non-disci:)line in work, low :)roductiveness of work
and bad quality of work is the' disinterestedness of the workers ?hecause
they know-that they are not working-: for t:.ei::c."~_ves, and all the
ndertaken by the Budapest masters for ~uttin; them
measures which are undertaken-by,
aside are necessarily a failure,

Institute for Popular :causes,
In view at the cceisidexnhlo funds allocated by the Italian government
for this purpose- (cne and a half billion 10m) sovoral iniaot n:;s have been
held, recently which were attenrIed by the gl ayor, the Der>uty_Ahyor; the chair-
loan of the IACP, a.r ;. MaQhlig; axid some Q,:erts from both oninistrat ens.
It must, however, be pointed out that the conclusions; a.O r.:ived at do not :tally
with the intentions of .e1G1G. The latter seems to have the intention to
allocate the ra jor part of those funds t'o'Honivato era;teriri; e, limiting its

in comfornity with the "Enilnrge d ';ldisio l All" and for loans of 4O`d to

The project of the Co".mune differs substantially from the former.
Since Ala4G has barman ed ,,about a third of the alloc Ation.a for cheap housintg,
the Corinune proposes that at toast another half % billion lire be added to
the remaining one billion lire for the oac:and half of 1952. In view of the
fact that the Italian goveraaoent has granted tviplo that amount as its
cbntribbution for the first half-year 'orrly! tharo should be no difficulty in

Both the local and the international press are now talking,
Mediterranean Pact, which should include, an 1Ldriatio Pact botwwrecn ItaIy
and Yugoslavia, and Trieste is insistently being mentioned in this connection.
We oiti as an example the "Messaggom Veneto" report about a recent rooting
of th: G neral Staff at the Pentagon which -urged on efficient organization
in the southern fl.znk of Eisenhower's lane-tpp ?.. ' vv . th Tricsta as the
main cornerstone.
The "Sunday Times" gave the news of the Gorizia agreements in connection
with those plans for the roi_nlore. m?ent of the southern .Atlantic flank.
Even the "Corriore della Sara", which is much quoted by our Ties t Italian
toss" wrote some days ago about "unwritten agroenx nts". on this subject.
Afterwards the "Messaggoro Veneto" want so far as to assort that no con-
firmotion of the Gbrizia agrao'runts was obtainable either in Romo or in
Trieste circles, and. admitted that this "trial balloon" might have been
released from London wiaru "thorn is sue?posocll.y a curt,-.,.in concern to find
a solution to comply with L jubl jana's and Bolgrad t s wishes based on the

Now it is confirmed that no "trial balloon" was launched at all. Fur` :ar;
more, the "ethnic lime" is first of all favoured by London and Was!Jdngton, aid
not only that,, but Rome has agreed with it ever since Sforza first mentioned
it.
Par from.being merely a fantasy, as defined in bad faith by the "Giornale
di Trieste", facts have confirmed that Comrade Vidali was right in asserting
at last Sunday's debate with the Social Democrats, that only a united front
of the citizens, opposing what is being prepared against Trieste and Zone B.
can prevent the "ethnic line" from threatening peace and the application of
the peace treaty.
What. has happened to the aid for the flood victims? - Red-tape instead of
assistance even in Trieste La ___'
There are disastrous consequences to the fact that assistance to flood
victims has been monopolized by state authorities and clerical organisations.
How many people are still walking around in search of a job and, most of all,
of a piece of bread because the promised aid funds were swallowed by bureau-
cracy itself?
One of these victims, a certain Alfredo Tiongo from Canaro near Rovigo,
landed in Barcola on November 19th, after a sea trip of six days. He was given
clothing and then sent to the flood victims' center of Padua. From thoreo he
went to Milan and finally wav sent to Casaletto Lodigliano, where the first
person to interview him was a priest, who told him that "they wore all
chastized by God for being eoirmunists". After this lecture he was accommodated
in a kind of damp cellar. As for foot he was compelled, like all the others,
to shift for himself.
On January 27th Tiengo left for Milan, hoping finally to got his dole,
or at least a job. From Milan he was again sent to Padua, from there to
Trieste. Then again to Padua and back to Trieste. This ball-game would have
continued had Mr. Ticn.go himself not put a stop to it.
We ask the local committee for assistance to flood victims: after
having sold at a public auction a lot of worn clothing and single shoes, did
they not collect enough money to assist such a poor devil?
The M/S "ti ustus" departs (editorial by-line)
The M/S "Augustus", built in our shipyards mainly with Trieste ERP funds,
sails tonight for Genoa, just like the M/S "Vulcani.a" and "Saturnia". This
was the desire of the "Italia" Shipping Co., of the Domoohristian Ministers
Petrelli and Cappa, of the American shipowners and the US Senate who do not
allow more than one Italian line on the North Atlantic route. This is the
outcome of the enslavement of Rome's "black" (+olerioal) government to
America, of the unworkable "status quo" of our territory,, of AMals policy,
of the betrayal of the interests of our port by the dominating groups in
Italy and in the FTT. This is a warning to all citizens of all classes
and idoologiep to face the grave problems which confront us and to put an
end to this diastrous state of affairs.

From the social )osition of the workin,:- class and its historical
role, which social ,development. has asst ned to: 'it, results':ite rely tion-
shilw towards reli 'ion which it denounces a.s r n ideological weapon of
rea ctidna,.ry' social forces. It woulyd be wrong to, think, however that
the working, cless -while wa ;int the strut le a a s.:n,6t ,.the bourgeoisie
denounces rels.
C. I i:on and .stands 'on'at keist -)ositions Such, ideas would
begin from t h6 untenable su )?Dosition `that the working class as such is
Immune : _ in r e and to religion. and is not susce >tible to its influence'.
:During the r:ocess of class struggle the workingr, class comes o know
deelDly ?its enemies, methods end means, which: =they use in order Ito
exploit the wQrkinr, masses In the face of the reactionary clergy,
the working class sees in' it en, enemy equal to that of the bourgeoisie,
which by way of religious sermons wishes. t__; diyert the
working crass
from its revolutionary struggle.. In evernr conflict `with the bourgeoisie
the working:' class sees the reactionary e1e y' el ays' an the `side` of the
bourr,eoisie~ .and in the ranks of those who behave with the greatest hate
and hostility towards the ex)loited masses, Bu.t' :in site of that the
clergy succeeds in holding the masses in reli,ious deception, :with
stories that "one should ,)ray to God a nd then it will' be better", that
the "peo')le are in a difficult oosition now because they are sinning
against God's commandments", et'
,
The success, which the.C:hurch succeeds ' is 'u; :wining, by s,areading
relip ions teachings amonr;st the workin;J class i:s' )rirnarily',e x)le'i_ned by
the very social economic position o'f, the working ?class in ce.~,) it,alist
society, in. which the working, class orocuce-s everything, but' does 'not
dis-oos,e of anything' but with its workin,17 lower, Not knowing 'the=
essence of, c,~+,o,italist economic relations the exaloited working' messes
com)reh;end it as' some mysterious -)ower in whose hands -lies their }fate,
which is kindhearted to some, riving them all conditions 'for` a ha ),)y
ahd confortable life, and towards othe'r's stingy end merciless and
exv)oses them to continuous suff'erin ;s. But wain the struggle for
better conditions of life, the, working class come to know that the''
material situation of the ca)italists is based not only on.some fate,
but on the ex)loitetion of its .r-o`)er work and so ' in' the arocess of the
class struggle of the working class's, its revolutionary consciousness is
formed, where not much room is left for ?riestlsr tales c oncerning; God',
paradise, fate and similar. Having once come-to know the reactionary
role of religion,the working- class breaks with it.decisively, the
Church becomes its enemy in ;:)rinci :)le, . as well as in the period of the
revolutionary struggle for power, and also after the victorious '.revolu-
tion.
The struggle which the "proletariat leads as the only re.vo u.tion .ry
class against religion is the corn )onent 'fart' of the '" struggle for: the
acce,ootance of a right, scientific., Marxist view'on'the world.: To
acce -)t Marxist views. on the ~ world means not, only' to explain .'different

there .is nothing left any longer 'to be ex)ressed" The struggle
against religion therefore is no abstract struggle but a concrete
strug -ale. of the working, class a ainst the class enemy wha.ch exploits
and o-ppresses.all the working masses:
In the history of the workers' movement there were conce)tions that
religion can be liquidated by force and by.decrees. Such conceptions
are basically wrong and forei: n to Marxism. Religion has not appeared
as the result of force, and as a form of social consciousness cannot be
rescinded by force? On the contrary, the struggle?aeainst religion by
application of force would have very damaging andnegative consequences
for the, develoocment of the revolutionary struggle of the working class.
Engels-criticised very sharply the su)porters'of L.A.Blanqui (French
SOcI81tst,1805) who declared a..-Political war against religion and
against During who was of the opinion that religion Should be forbidden
in,sociali.st society. Lenin also condemned the struggle.of the
anarchists..against religion as dama, ing to the class strut ; le ofi the

revolutionary slogans and its revolutionary actions. The )oli.ti;cally
and culturally backward workers are alienated by empty atheistic
.)hrases.from 7artiei)ation in the revolutionary actions of the working
Blass. This holds ground particularly in regard to the allies of the
proletariat, such as the middhe and poor classes. To demand from the

while the' most important )oli.tical and social questions :remain unsolved
means to direct the struggle of the: working class in a channel which

this way, means to lose out of sight the fact, that religion. is a social

religious )reiudices and on convincing the masses - more than any pro-la-

religion is not fouw.;ht at anti-religious atheist mentA ngs and assemblies

Thus the re^ ctionary ,-)riests are conducting, ? a struggle against the
socialist rt construction of the countryside, 'tellinr.7 the oeo ale that
ttenterintr the Peasant ~iorkin , Co-o _)erati.ves means seooaration from God
and the Church"; when we had the drought they've x )la ine d94 to the peo-,)le
.that that was the result of the fact that the "?eoole had become bad,
that they did not befla::ve in God and worked on Sundays?'; and when the
Peo ale' s. Front arranges any massive work a(,.tivities, then a s a rule they'
start, talking. that the )eo-2le have their bell 'ul of work activities,
etc, Naturally this " ro-,pa genda r' is nothing else but real '-:o stile work
ap-ainst the acbi9-rerents of the Pooular Revolution and ar,;ainst the
strut gle fought by the working masses for socialism. And when our
~o ~ular auithorities )unish such )riests' they don't do that iust because
of the fact that they are 'ri.ests but rather because of the )riests'
concrete hostile and anti-)ocular work. The reactionary clergy strives
to present thine?s so that the )olicy of the Party and of the )o >ular
authority is generally directed c.,ainst the entire )riesthood, However,
the line of the )olicy of the :'arty is such that it enables every
citizen, and this means every )riest also, who is devoted. to the oeoole
and to the homeland to take his )osition in the socialist build-u..) of
our col_untry.
Now the nuestion is what is the attitude of the working class con-
cerning the question of relations between the Church and, the state.
Storting from the Marxist theory, which has been tested in ooractice of
s ocial devel o )ment, that relation is "o Aum to the )eo-ole" c,nd that the
Church is olaying a' reactionary social role, the working class is con-
ducting a strugr,c,,le against religion within the framework of the concrete
class struggle for socialism at various stages of its develo :)ment and
resolutely demands and-consistently outs into effect separation of
.church from state.. This demand is formulated in the so-called Erfurt
)ro-ramme of. the German Social Democracy which was adopted 11"h 1891 at
the congress in. Erfurt. In article 6 of that )rogramme it is stated;
"proclamati,on of reliq,,ion as a )ers.mal matter. abolition of all ex Ten=
ditures from )u.blic` funds for c iu.rch and reli,-ibus "urposes. Church and
religious assc:ciations should be considered to be -)rivate associations
which aarran~ e their matters suite inde )endently". The attitude of the
German Social-Democrats P~;rty with res-pect to the question of relations
between Church and ,*tate has been subseqi.zentlir adnnted by all the
Marxists. labour ,ar.ti.es and our Communist Party has the same attitude.
The consistent Marxist attitude of our Party with resoe'ct to this
question is clearly reflected in article 25 of the Constitution of the
FPRY wherein it is said: v'Freed~;r of conscience and freedom of religion
are guaranteed to citizens. The Church is se:iaarate from the state.
Religious communities, whose teaching is not contrary to the Constitu-
tion, are free in their reli;.,:ious affairs and in the ierformance of
reli, 1,ous ceremonies. Religious schools for' the education of )riests
,,re-free and are under the senernl su, r. vision of the state.- The abuse
of the Church and of religion for )oliticnl )ur io'se:s and the existence
of )olitlcal or nisations on n- religious basis are forbi."den. The
*Late may extend material assistance; to religious corlmunitiestt,
This Constitutional )rovision was -intr. oduced on the basis of the
greatest victories of our )o )ul,-r revolution, . ,_n the basis of the fact
that the working )eo:ile under the leadership) of the Communist Party
have taken the )ow6r in their own hands arid" that in'-the course of the
armed stru gle against the invaders and against the traitorous bourgeois
unbreakable foundations of brotherhood and unity of our 1)eo -)les were
laid. By se )aretion of Ch~rch from state all confessions in our con
eountry have been ;proclaimed equal and free, rhd there is no longer any
"state church" which is being favoured at the expense of other Churches
as was the case in the east. By the fact that Church. is se-,)arated from
state. rel'1 rion becomes a -,)rivate ratter of the citizens of our country,
i.e, every citizen is auarenteed freedom of aff iliati ,n be this or that
reli;rfion in the same way as he is guaranteed the freedom not to belong
to any religious as'sncieti.)n and to manifest atheist c -)nv:ictions,

The Cominformist Parties: are manifesting on this question also a
pronounced revisionism'and utter lack of 33rinciple, and this is quite
understandable because revisionism on the basic questions of theory and
)ractice 'of a revolutionary. labour movement entails revision of-all
lines and on all questions.- Here are a. few data which show in a con-
aincing way their anti-Marxist line on this question also,- In Rumania
the Ministry of the.Interior has been makinp )reparatiorns for changing
over from the Greek Catholic to the Orthodox religion and of late the
Church in co-o'eration with the Rumanians' Cominformist Party has been
endeavouring to induce our Croatian minorities to adopt Orthodox
religion.. On the occasion of various religious holy days the members
of the CC of the Rumanian Workers' Party go to Church to attend services,
Josef Revai,? Chief of Agitation and Propaganda of the Hungarian
Workers' Party,lhas written an article titled "-Christmas Truth" in
which he said , that' Christmas is a - symbol of brotherhood and ,peace and
that for centuries Christianity had fought for justice, The Secretary
of CP Czechoslovakia,. Gottwald,. on the occasion of his'p:>roc'lamation as
President. of the Re,)ublic, went to Church and allowed All the Church
ceremonies to be )erformed which. previously Benes did not want to be
performed. . The Secretary of the CP Italy, Togliatti, in 'his speech
delivered in, June 1951 in Genoa in connection with municipal elections
declared that, "anti-clericalism has been liquidated in the CP Italy",.
and after returning from Moscow last year he offered co-0 )oration to
the Demo-.Christian Party', which is in '`,over in Italy,_ We see from
these data that the leaders of the Cominform')Prties;, both in those
countries in which they are in power and in t`h.o-se euLintries in which
"they have, not .had any luck" to assume )ower because.e of the )olicy of
the division of these spheres of interest between the USSR and the'
Western countries, are conducting. an explicitly anti-Marxist policy
towards the -Church and are in -this way throwing the .)ocular masses
into. the lap of the reactionary clergy to whom they are making con.-
cessio.na, and offering agreement.
During the period of transition from ca2itlism to communism, in
w :ich our country finds itself, relision also has its objective foun-
da.tion', Religion. is being ma.inta_ned both in view of existence of
the still unliquidated elements of the, old society incur economy and
also . in view of the, relative inde ,endence' which it. enjoys as a form of
social consciousness. Under the lea ders'hi . of the party, .the labour
class in.-allia,nee with the other. working masses has )erf'ormed that
"social act" of wr~ich Engels s.oeaks in the Anti-During as being the
pre-condition for the disappearance of religionr i,e.,. it has taken
the means of iroduction into its own hands and in thatway freed itself t
from the )osition of being a slave of these means, For the first
time.in their history the working masses in our country have by'their
revolutionary strug;-'le created for themselves the. conditions to become
com)lete. masters 'of their social relations, and under the leadership of
the party they are as rtici )a ting more and, more in the management of all
the forms of their social life. With the further development of
socialist democracy in our country and with its continuous deepening and
broadening the influence, of religion on the masses will inevitably'
become smaller. and smaller be cause.: the religion' s social basis from
which it '-m-ws and u:ion which it pests it being easily liquidated.

of 'their social-economic recta., There is no doubt at all that our

envisaged by the classics of ' Marxism-LE: ninism (Marx,. Engels and Lenin)

Now.however, the situation has changed:.,;production .costs have
become the most serious subject of. discussion,-,The questions of
savingrintroduction of'n.ew'mechanization,assignment of workers
according to qua]ifications,changing of norms etc are being
discussed,

One of the enterprises in 'which discussion. is very
lively is "Vulkan". The question of surplus labour forces is
being particularly successfully solted in this enterprises,,
'Switching oven to work with the. nur_mber of workers required by
technical process has already started.
The enterprise has for 20 days now ben carrying out
strictest check-up on production stoppage and has discovered that
about 2,000 working hours were lost on waiting caused by lack of
co-ordination of work among various sections.
New method of work in the ??NIay Third?? shipyard.
Our largest shipyard,??May Third?t,is seriously
tackling its problems, It has just st=e.rted building two
passenger vessels for coastal service. The work is being done
according to the so-called ??invert.ed keel?? system(putting of
sheet metal from above instead from below);this is a well known
system in shipbuilding which can be successfully applied in this
shipyard. Under this new system,vessels will be built more
quickly, better and with. less expense. The old process of work will
be considerably changed and, what is most important, will 1':a more
economical. l'or example; sheet metals will be assembled into
larger sections in workshops and after that they will be installed
to the framework of the ship. The sheet metals will then in the
majority of cases be welded together instead of riveted which will
mean a saving while the vessel will be lighter and stronger because
there will be fewer rivets and holes.
These are only s-)rie of the results ac.tieved during the
discussions. The discussions however are being continued and it is
not out of question that many other possibilities will be discovered
for cheaper and better production and consequently for realization
of bigger accumulations,

Attempts to reduce the fixed minimum of utilization of capacity
However there. are still plenty of negative occurrences
in some., of the. enterprises particularily with respect to treat-,
ment 'of` labor force, when it is a question of establishing''
profitability of the enterprise. Such enterprises are now seeking
internal reserves.and are finding them most easily in ??surplus??
labor force, not paying much attention to whether or not such res-
erves exist also in the process of production, in organization
of work etc. Because of such concepts there are cases of careless
dismissal of workers without finding other jobs for such workers.
There are also such enterprises which:are endeavouring to reduce
the minimum utilization of. capacity, although there is no reason
for this except the..fear of not being able to seriously .;solve
the, problem. Thus for example;. the construction enterprise
??Jadran?? whose minimum capacity under the social plan is below
forty percent has wanted to reduce even this.figure. And so .'it
has ahready made plans to dismiss about one hundred construction-
workers. The. enterprise is trying to justify. this. action by the
fact that in?Rijeka,there'sre seven or eight private constructi.on+
enterprises''which usually, because of lower overhead,'are`doing
every job cheaper. However the ??Jadran?? enterprise which;is
better equiped has better'technical possibilities and consequently
bigger possibilities to reduce overhead, has not bothered to
reduce production costs in any other way but by simply trying-to'
reduce the capacity below the fixed minimum.

tions concerning the fact that the name munici.)ality is ."is Wiauitable"'
and that "does not co,m.)ly with our system'" because it is similar to the
muniei::)alities in. former. Yugoslavia which have been corn )rorr,ised, :but,
.besides these naive, there are also some ill-intentioned interpretations
in the villages and outside them that the creation of rnunid.pal.ities
represents "reversion to the old". In this second "11conception" there
is not much need for discussion, because it .is only the forlorn hope
of a number of individuals who in each of our new measures would like.,
to discover something as "reversion to old". But they and their
wishes are.. continually denied by the socialist essence of all our
measure's in the building; of the country, But characteristic are the
first conce otions which a )pearvith some cor1rnd.es in the District P eooole's
.Oommittess., They are, no doubt, the result of insufficient stuck;' of
the essence ofthe forthcoming reorganisations of the Pe,o )lets Committees.
The creation of munici )alitie s has nothing in. 'common with..such
conce-)tions, The territorial division on local People's Committees
corn )lied with our 'hitherto development in which the local People's
Committees had to execute directly a number of important econonc and
other tasks. More or less all Peope s Committees were in the major
part o )erative organs and very often they took no cart as leading
olkgans in the building of their area, In the further development of
our country these` operative fu-fictions will decrease daily until they
disappear completely', particularly in regard to econ-my and other
social ?bligat1ons,, But on the other hand the responsibility and the
tasks of the People.'s Committees in the field of communal building in
creating more favourable conditions for the life of the c itizens in
overcoming 'class remnrnts in our social community and in the further
development of forms of socialist democracy and participation of the
eoole in the activities of the agents of authority will increase..
The tasks will be -particularly important and great in relation to the
villages, in the field of socialist - transformation of P criculture to
the creation and Strengthening of )eesant working co-operatives and
other forms of ai-rricultural co-o aeratives. The People's Committees
in the new financial and -.ohnning system will get definite rights in
regard to.all enterprises, in their, area and they will thus strengthen
the.economic basis of their self-government but at the same time as we
inc their responsibility and tasks towards the social community will
increase.
In order that the People's Committees might execute successfully
all these tacks it has been 'shown as vital uu create such a roas - basic
administrative ooerative units, economically encircled whose economic
nos:si'hiliti.es wi1T ensure their further development an? execution of all
tasks as -well as their gradual growing into the natural comrnuhity of the

The pro_)osal for'enlarging the areas of the local People's

accented generally in. PR Serbia, The formation of areas of .the ,future

cussions in our People's Ro )ublic .. All -proposals of the District
People's Committees in the new administrative-territorial division have
been examined critically at elpctors' i,Zeet' ,,~ in all the villages.
Electors had everywhere g rent oossibilities to expressthe'ir, opinion,
wishes and inclinations both in regard to the inclusion of, their
village in one of the munici?al areas -swell a.:5. in regard to the seat
of the Pea ale's Committee of their munici-:-)al,ity.. The conclusions
brought at electors' meetings were taken in the majority-of cases as
the basis of legal draft in administrative-territorial divis.ion Which,
after.being, accepted by the Government of PR Serbia will be handed to.
the Legislative Committee and the Committee for the People's Authority
for examination and then brought before the People's Assembly of PR
S bias . . The formation of the Municipal People's Committees will follow
t r the assembly passes a new law concerning the administrative-
territorial division of PR Serbia.,'
The People's Municipal Committees enter the new organisation
disburdened of numerous o e'rstive tasks which the local People's
Committees head, particularly in the field of the compulsory purchase,
sowing, labour and so forth. Disburdened from these activities, the
municipal People's Committees will be'in the possibility of engaging
themselves in solving local problems and the needs of the villages?
And such -oroblems are numerous in all our villages both in the field of
communal activity as,well as in the field of national health, education,
social insurance,etc.
In the solution of all these problems the people's Municipal
Committees will have a great deal of indeoendehce. This lies on the
basis of their forriooeen' organisation. The municipalities will have
their own inde )endent budgets and will decide independently concerning
revenues Which they will realise in their area, The needs of the
municicality will be financed as a rule frc' iocaal taxation end in order
to raise individual communal, health and other objectives in the
village, the People's Municipal Committees with the acquiescence of
their electors will be able to levy taxes locally. Besides these means
the mun.icloalities can have revenues also from social contributions,
inheritance taxes and .: i.fts, from the collection of different taxes,
etc. In what 'percenter.e the muni.ci--)alities will oarticioste in the
distribution of these revenues will becdecided by the Social Plan,
namely by the bud et of the District People's Committee, This principle
of self-financing of municipalities will anyhow contribute seriously to
develop the spirit of saving, particularly in local administration and
it will give incitement to the municipalities to develop their communal
activities and to a.)proach more seriously the settling of the villages
and life therein, besides the President, the municipality will have
no longer paid councillors, The Secretary of the People's committee
will be an employee, who, in agreement with the District People's
Council will be chosen and named and appointed by, the Plenum of
the People's Municipal Committee, The number of other muhicipal
employees will be established separately for every municipality, but
this number, in regard to the more direct participation of councillors
In he . olution of all problems of the committee,will in any case be

Committees, As a rule in the municipalities there will not exist
committees for individual organs of authority except with the
greatest ones (for example in the Vojvodina),. where more com)licated
communal and other >)roblems similar to those in town and municipali-
ties exist, in such People's Committees the need might arise for the
formation, for example., of a communal or other committee,
The organisation of the municipal People's Committees which
will take place in the immediate future , will be s irr olified
in regard to the organisation of the local committees. But for this
reason the larger and more the councillors
as well as of electors in theevery-day work of the People's

PROTECTIVE FUNCTIONS -)F .LABOUR SYNDICATES; Place and tasks of
labour syndicates under the
conditions of :planned economy.
There has been a lot of unclearness regarding the tasks
of,labour-syndicates under . the conditions of planned'economy.in
connection with the question of protective functions,of the
syndicates. Opinions have been expressed thatthe'syndicates should
no.longer perform those functions,that they should no longer
fight agiinst. mistakes and violations of the ,;acquired.rights. of
the workers but that instead of the syndicates the Workers' s
Councils and Managing oards should directly solve all such and
similar :questions,
Such concepts are completely wrong,and the result of
them has been passive ,attitude adopted by some of the organisations
and weakening of their influence on the workers, Protective
functions of'the syndicates should,as a principle, weaken because
all the questions concerning working and living conditions of the
workers should be solved by the Workers's Councils and Tanaging
Boards. However,it would be a great illusion to expect that all
this can be done overnight,that by the fact that management of
enterprises is now in the hands of workers and employees--there is
no longer any need to protect the r interests of workers and
employees,because all possible irregularities would be corrected
by the managing organs.
Contrary to these illusions, every day practice shows
that even under the conditions where enterprises are being managed
by workers,at least at the beginning,there often happen smaller or
bigger mistakes harming the interests of the workers,as for examples
prolongation of working hours,not paying for over time work,
irregular payment of emolument, short payment of emolument,
insufficient technical and hygienic protection at work,raistakes
in connection with social security or housing etc. Does not the
fact that ct-rtain enterprises are dismissing their workers and
nursing mathers as well as older and physically weak workers
under the excuse of excess labour forces, in order to ensure
profitability of the enterprise which,in the opinion of some
of the managers,is possible to achieve only by young and healthy
labour force--plainly tell us that the workers's managing organs
should have sufficient power to prevent such inhuman and unsotialist
attitude towards the workers ? Is not this a sufficient reason
for energetic activity by the syndicates in this respect ? It is
not a question of protection of individual workers or employees,but
rather a question of defending the democratic principles and the
authority and prestige of the new economic system of management of
the enterprises by workers. And it is just this new system of
management and distribution of surplus labour that demands of every
worker to show full interest end to exercise full control over the
work of the organs of management--which means:that the labour union
organisations must keep an open eye on the work of the Workers's
.Councils, that they must develop and guarantee constructive and
positive criticism,in the same way as they must not forget the fact
that,despite the existence of the managing organs composed of workers
and employees, they must watch over the interests and positions of
the workers as lorgas there are occurrences of neglecting these
interests,

Consequently the.weakening.of protective functions of
the syndicates' should be considered as a long process. Protective
functions cannot~bo.abolished by any decision of. labour union
leaders nor by any regulations--because these functions will

protect the workers--it must perform. these protective functions.
It is very probablee, that just now--during the period of
introduction,, of the new economic system,when hundreds of new
problems-and questions will crop up before the Workerst's Councils
and Managing Boards-- it will be necessary for the labour union
organi:, etions .to intensify, their protective function.

AGGRO'-SSIVE P ESS.URE OF H?1J: 1C iRIAIV co .IN:E~'GRMI ST
It seems that Hung aryl under .the plan `of the cominform
center has beenasircned, in theprosent situation,' to lead in.,
the -execution,of 'the policy of ac?gressive pressure against.
Yugoslavia. Acts of the Hungarian leaders,to carry out orders
obidiently and assiduously, show sufficiently clear the stubborh
continuance, of hostile policy ins:gite of ,the recently adopted
Resolution in the UN General Assembly
Immediately after the. passing of the' said Resolution, the
Hungarian cominformists o.ranized.the: well-kntawn 'surptise
attack on the river Musa and with armed forces seized,a'part
of the Yugoslav territory. In the dispute, which''artse? due
to this incident,, obviously beforehand prepared, the complete
lack of good will of the Hungarian leaders to settle their
relations with Yu-oslevia,ina manner as provided by the
usual regulations ii:, international practice, by international
law, by the Charter and the Decisions of UN, came to full
expression.
The rise of intensity and scale of the propaganda
cnmpai?n, which in connection with that border provocation
of the Hungarian authority appeared, enlightens only more
clearly the motives which the organizers had in mind during
its preparation, as well as on the course which they intend
to carry out in realtions with Yugoslavia. The organ of the
Hungarian cominformists Szabad Nep, dealing with this question.,
described the call of Yugosl_nv Government for pacific and
conformable approach for solving this dispute as " shooting
a provocative bullet in the, open" and insolently imputed
to Yugoslavia the alleged intentions that "she wants to
cause provocations of international scale". It is obvious
that such expressions have no other meanin but to sanction
new ane future provocations against Yugoslavia. and endanger the
international security in general.
The Hungarian ?overnment and its organs are applying
other, already common forms of pressure and trreats. As it
is known, Hungarian organs have recently fired at frontier
?uards on the Yuvoslav territory,seriously wounding our
frontier guard Alil Malisevski,
The stated facts - beside a series'of other which
occur daily and through wiich the aggressive political line
of the Hungarian cominform"agency is carried - quite clearly
speak about the continuation of cold war against Yugoslavia
conducted by the countries of the Soviet bloc and about the
participation of Hungary in it.
The fact that Hungary has been assigned with the to*k to
be at the head in carrying political pressure on Yugoslavia,
surely has its foundations and motives in the internal situation
in Hungary too, in problems and difficulties which the Budapest
cominform agencyYts encountered on the people enduring double
pressure and exploitation - their own bureaucracy and the bureau-
cracy of the enslaving "leading country". Following blindly
"the Soviet experience in building socialism" and the directives
from Moscow, Rakosi's government recently strengthened its
pressure over the working masses, and under the name of fight
against "undiscipline" rapidly intensifin^. the state capitalistic
relations, increasing the position of bureaucracy and still
further pushinFr the producin? masses into the position of complete

lack of any riuhts and subordination. This campai,p;ti against the
"undiscipline", that is, against the resistance of work,in -masses
to the brutal exploitation and terror, and for r v~ system
of control in economy, causes dissatisfaction and serious internal
problemswhich still further increasesand deepersthe contrariety
derived from-the colonial position of the country in relation to
the USSR r'r
In such situation the Hungarian cominformists think that by
oranising provor,ations and border incidents-at the Yugoslav
frontier and by anti-Yugoslav propaganda which those aggressive
acts are accompanied, they will draw the attention of Hungarian
working masses from painful internal problems and to canalize
their dissatisfaction to other direction.

LETTER FROM THE CCCP SLOVENIA ON THE POLITTC!'T WORK OF THE
A 77;, - Communists shcaulcf be nolltical~'oranlzers
and the most active fighters in the poli-
tical, cultural, and economic fields,,
(Ljubljana, -$ February)
In connection with the recent session of the Seventh
Full'Plenuin of the CCCP Slovenia at which the domestic
political questions'were discussed, the letter from the
Central Committee on.improving the political work of the
Party organization; in Slovenia was announced today,
After noting the successes in connection with the
reorganization :of our economy and the development of
socialism, the letter emphasized the importance of Treater
political activity by the communists aed Party organizations.-
In regards, to this the Party organizations and communists
should not become part of the state apparatus but should
first of all represent nolitipal organizers and be the most
active fighters in the political, cultural and economic
fields. The hitherto practice of tie Party organizaticns
which have been preponderantly. dealing; witth the practical
solution of every day problems. shows the necessity for a
stronger political activity which would prevent the future
appe:aranc:es(in press, propaganda, culture, etc) of ideas
forei n to' socialism and also prevent the unraveling; of
various outlived decadent 'theories" and pnr.ticularistic
and nationalistic slogans under the mask of democracy,
The letter further emphasizes that there We been
tt(. ants to use our economic difficulties to promote''
chauvinism, and to destroy fraternity and unity among the
people. of YuO:cslavia. Because of this, with the support
of the progressive socialistic force' of the working class
we must constantly and energetically destroy the, remains
of petty bourTeoise chauvinism, which is especially in the
present phase of our internal development and in the. exist: n ;
circumstances,,
In connection with this it is necessary to improve the.
work of the Party organizations, cc4m t,tsess : and individua:~1,
members,of the Party.. For Slovenia i is esi-)ecially import rt
that the working class st:rengthen.its progressive and revolu-
tionary. role, which it has in 0 7
our economy, in organs of
authority, in social-political and cultural-educational life.
It is necessary that the workers press be improved; the
workers cultural organizations and institutions be developed,
and in that manner quicken the mastering of Marxist idealo ;ie s
amongst the workers, and in acquiring a general knowledge of
culture. This' would make it easier for the working class
to carry out the Party line and to conduct an idealoaical
battle against the present day perverter; of Marxism,
In the same way it is necessary to conduct an all-sided
and systematic battle against all attempts by the reactionary
clergy and the other rep t?ns of clericalism and white. guard's
(home 7uards of Slovenia) who are attemptinT...-tu -use religion
for reactionary purposes, and to explain to the masses that
the principle of free religion must be sharply iv::-.rated from
the attempts to misuse reli:rious feelings.

In order that the Party or_aniz.,tions may fulfill these
tasks, the district, municipal, and-town committees should
prepare their own plans of,work in the future, to ,analyse our
forces and 'those. of the reactionaries and to. c.lea.n out all
the opportunistic, .careering element's end ctominform agents
from-out of their ranksi Open Party meetings will contribute
much too. strenatheninT'Party orL;anizations. Special attention must
be devoted to the` constant id l-logica.l. education of the Party
members so that finally all the remains of religious and
idealistic education in some of the Warty members will be
ed and that all the conditions.for, successful work
amongst the masses will be assured.., We - must fi ;ht' so that
all' the aims and -aspirations of our policy Wil;~- be cleae.to
all communists, to all members of the .People's Frront acid
to all working men. (Tanjug)

SESSION OF THE PEOPLE'S COP1i.;ITTEE OF THE CITY OF ELGRADE
At its last night's session, the People's Committee
of the City of Belgrade dealt,among others;with the question of
changing the names of'some of the. street of Belgrade,
The Red Army Boulevard will from now on be called
Revolution Boulevard, Marshal Tolbuhim Street will be called
Disabled Jar Veterans Street; Stalingrrd,1 ' Street will be called.
Macedonian Street; Warsaw Street will be called Jasa Prodanovic
Street,and Sazon Street will be given the?n.me of Filip Filipovic
the first communist Mayor of Belgrade in 1920.
The changing of the names of the st;.eets his been done
because they carried the names-of min who wanted to subjugate our
country and to make it one of their provinces. The name of the
Warsaw Street was changed because just recently the Polish
authorities changed the name of a street in Warsaw which was
called Belgrade Street,as well as the name of another street
which carried the name of our Youth Brigades. The name of Sazon
Street was changed because Sazon was Foreign Minister in Czarist
Russia.

THE BULGARIAN NATION UNDER THE TERROR OF KREMLIN HIRELINGS:
REFUCxEES
CONVERSATION WITH,
(Skoplje, January 20)
Five Bulgarian citizens recently escaped to our country
it front of the terror committed over the Bu . 'arian population
.by officials and members of the Bulgarian Communist -arty.
Among them is Asen Simonov, electrician from Custendil.
He is a young man, in his thirties, elctrician by profession,
but without job - pronounced. as "unreliable" (the same as the
Bulgarian fascist authority during the occupation pronounced
as "umreliable" every member of the Communist Party in Macedonia
and its sympathizer3 as well as all other progressive men. He ,
does not enjoy the most, elementary !rights which other citizens
enjoy.
"To get a job in Bulgaria -- said Simonov - one should iove`?first
of all a certificate about "reliability! I had no such. certificate,
and that is why I could not get a job. Care about my child, my-
old. father and my family forced me to sell my property. This was
not enough so I had to take a licence, belonFring to o-1--o, -:.. LEI relatives
to sell fruits. With that licence I was selling pears at the
market in Sofia. I could hardly sell it because the wares of
workers and employees were very low, about 7,000 leva monthly".
Asen Simonov has been called to the "District Office" about
twenty times where he was beaten up for about .ten times, still
feeling the e f_'v-ct l of this.
Former partisans are being persecuted.
Asen Simnonov spoke about how former partisans who fought
together with Yugoslav partisans during the People's Liberation
War are now being persecuted and arrested in Bulgaria,
"One day, he said I have been invited by the father of
Kiril Bogoslovski (who is. born at Custendil and who is well-known
in that part as a partisan b(1 onc^ing to the unit of Slavca Trnski)
to mend the electric installation. He told me then.that his son,
Colonel Kiril., has been demobilised from the army because he was
in the partisan units with Slavco Trnski".,
Beside him, he knows that Stojne: Prljov, officer and well-
known former partisan, from Ziliriica, has been degraded,
"Freedom of criticism" in BCP
Refugee Stojne Gikev has been for a long time member of the
Communist Party in Bulgaria,
?Gikev has been expelled from the Bulgarian Communist Party
because he once criticized the leadership BCP in Ifl.s village of
Gornja Bresnica, when this "leadership47?distributed among
themselves, half of the received quantity of wool for wide
consumption, giving the other half to the whole village population.
Beside him, 14 other members quitted the BCP. Because of this,
out of 32 members of their party organization only 17 r.emaincd..

Then he spoke about the terror of Cominformists over other
inhabitants.
"In my village says Gikev -- a group of terrorists have
beaten up Krum'Vasev, Dimitri.Tabuski, Jordan Brosacki, all
peasants. They were only threatening; me. Once they fired at me,
killing my dog..'Peasant woman Grozda Ljubenova hit the attacker,,
with an axe when he wanted to take her oxen. Grozda has been
sentenced to imprisonment with hard labour. For all this we
complained even to Sofia. A delegation consisting 15 men went
to Cervenkov - he did not wish to receive them. His secretary
received them, who said to the delegation to submit a written
complaint. Then we went to the State Control CDmmission. There
we were received by a Russian, we were said that he is the most
important man in the State Control C'mmision. He said: "They,
(referring to Cominformists in our village) ere right, because
they were fighting for 20 years, while you were sitting at home.
That is why you have no right to complain against them".
These are only some details'in the picture of present Cominform
Bulgaria. Depritred of all rights and persecuted, daily exposed
to arbitrariness of cruel bureaucratic hirelings, these
Bulgarian citizens reeked refuge in our country.

from the whole of the Vo jvOdina conce:rnin, the draft of the Social Plan
of the FPRY for 1951 and concerning -the di Gcu.ssi.on, wh-i ch is now taking
glace concernin this draft.
1' t the beginning of his s yet ch Comrade Kids. c em ~ha si so:d that the
draft of the Social Plan for-1952 is im )ortt nt, first- because it
-)resents a' cr m-)lete c: xarau le of he new economip system in re -ard to the

basic obiectives: com)letion oI cc? vital investment building, the
strengthening of our de- ensit-e'otential and. all foundations for the
further building of socia lims'.

1WW:1hat does the com )lotion of key cc >itel investment buildin, mean?
The com )letion of the key investment building,, namely the cutting
into motion of new factories > means in the first glace that we shall
take our country out of the foreig-n trade iayrnents ;deficit,. wh ~- .
is well known to you all and from which our country is still sui't'ering,
In othe-r words that means if we com )lete key investment building and
when these factors are )ut into motion, we will have enough foreign
exchange for bum;' 1 raw materials and half-processed goods so that our
caooacities might work both et -)resent and also for future greater -)ro-
duction. The second result will be that w!,.re shall have sufficient raw
