Yugoslavia Faces Reparations Clash With Italy
Paris reports a peace conference panel backed an American plan to bar Yugoslavia from treaty benefits if it refuses to sign the pact. Tito’s delegation said Yugoslavia will not sign the peace treaty with Italy nor withdraw from northwestern Istria. The U S proposed amending terms to limit benefits to states party to the treaty and Yugoslavia denounced the move as intimidation. Yugoslavia seeks about 1.3 billion dollars in reparations from Italy, a claim that could be affected by the American proposal. Senator Connally and Andrei Vishinsky debated the boundary matter amid the Yugoslav stance.
