Tito and Dulles discuss communism and Yugoslavia limits
President Tito told 60 000 Yugoslavs in Kinkda that the Soviet Union is ready to struggle for peace with all progressive people and he praised warm receptions in the USSR and Romania. Secretary Dulles said Moscow’s control over Communist parties outside Russia has weakened since Stalin’s downgrade and urged Western unity to deny communism new victories. He outlined Iceland’s NATO base importance, noted limited gains from Shepilov’s Cairo visit, and said Tito likely remains independent of Soviet subservience while cautioning against restricting U.S Yugoslav aid policy.
