L ajar Department comments
me on Yugoslav incident--The War Department,
l tel Igene Di s-ion,con rating on the oslav attacks on US planes,
expresses the view that (aa) while the Tito regime is "voluntarily com-
pletely subservient" to Moscow, most Yugoslav Communists lack a long
background of discipline and may "exceed or distort Moscow objectives";
and (b) Tito's former truculence and subsequent acceptance of US demands
following the plane attacks constitute a substantial loss of prestige for
the Tito Government. The Division believes that the incident has served
Soviet ends (a) by contributing to the delay of peace negotiations, (b) by
prolonging the employment of Soviet occupation forces and (c) by impress-
ing the Western Powers with the difficulties of resolving problems in a
manner unfavorable to the USSR.
2. .iers visit urd for US carrier--The Governor of Algeria has informed

repo f as orm.al an p ?ivate conversations with Security Council
delegates disclose the following views regarding the US proposal for ad-
mission of all nine applicants: (a) Secretary-General Lie "earnestly"
supports the US proposal and believes that the use of the veto would
"further lower" world esteem for the Security Council; (b) Parodi would
like to vote affirmatively for Siam, but, under present instructions and
pending the outcome of French-Siamese negotiations, is obliged to cast
a negative vote; (c) Cadog-an supports the British Foreign Office opposi-
tion to Albania and Mongolia, but may agree to the US proposal if all
others, including the USSR, have meanwhile acceded; (d) Groiuyko has
informed Lie privately that he will vote against Portugal and Ireland;
(e) Van IKleffens, although concerned about Albanian disregard for treaties,
is favorably disposed toward the US proposal; and (f) the Brazilian, Mexi-
can, and Egyptian delegates have assured Johnson of their support. (John-
son has made it clear that the US reserves its position on individual appli-
cants if unanimous consent to the admission of all applicants cannot be
secured.)

trade agreement does not run counter to US international trade proposals
and. that the US misgivings regarding the agreement (see Daily Summary

"political Implications," adding that he feared US representations in
the matter would be interpreted by Soviet authorities as an attempt to
prevent Sweden from trading with the USSR.

ing reception by 'the ` average Russian listener" is assured "night after
night."
