Plans Formulated For Organization Of New Federation
DANILE DELTCE reports from Moscow that plans for a Balkan federation of South Slavs, wider than present Yugoslavia, move from theory to near reality as Dr. Ivan Surasic returns to Belgrade to aid Marshal Tito in forming a government with Soviet blessing. The plan envisions a premier of a federal Yugoslavia with Lubasi and others in the royal government as collaborators, with British assent likely. Tito’s movement drafts constitutional changes granting autonomous rights to Croatia Serbia Slovenia and other provinces within a federation. The Belgrade government aims to be a pivotal force in southeastern Europe, seen by many Yugoslavs as the best vehicle to unite dissident Slavic groups under a federation.
