In response to requests for evidence regarding Soviet plans to
take military action against Yugoslavia. US military attaches in
the Soviet orbit countries report that they have found no evidence[
of Soviet preparations to invade Yugoslavia in the near future.
US military authorities in Germany consider that an intensified
campaign of Soviet-inspired incidents on the Yugoslav borders
will probably be motivated by a Soviet desire to sharpen the
war of nerves against Tito and to enhance the chance of success -
ful internal Yugoslav disturbances, The US military attache in
Moscow believes that only as a last resort will the Kremlin
attempt to remove Tito by Soviet-Satellite military action of
a guerrilla nature.
(CIA Comment: CIA believes that although the USSR
may intensify the current war of nerves against Tito, the
Kremlin is unlikely to resort to direct military aggression
against Yugoslavia in the near future.)
IVS inks aeferir!ng Yugoslav-Kremlin t(. -._
Tle Department of State has informed US E mossy London
its belief that it would be unwise to force Tito's hand either
by appealing the Tito-Kremlin problem to the UN or by urging
Tito to lodge a complaint. The Department adds that recourse
to the UN at this time would have the disadvantage for the
Yugoslavs of substantiating Soviet charges that Tito is bidding
for support from the West; however, should Yugoslavia decide
the, situation warrants reference to the UN, the US would support
appropriate UN action to safeguard Yugoslav Independence.
Regarding future Yugoslav-Soviet relations, the Department
expresses the view that if the Soviet campaign against IN-to
develops into an imminent threat to peace or acts of agg?ession,
referral of the problem to the UN would be both logical and,
necessary.

2. _Poss ,ile U UK-French approach to Apia--The Department
of State has instructed US Embassies London and Paris to
determine if the UK and France are willing to join the US In
another communication to Albania expressing the desire that
.the Albanian Government will not allow its territory to be used
as a base for guerrilla attacks on Greece. The Department
believes that if the guerrillas could be prevented from reor-
ganizing and rearming in Albania and then returning to Greece,
the whole problem of the guerrilla war would be largely solved.
The Department also expresses the opinion that, although pre-
vious approaches to Albania have had little effect, another
attempt is warranted by such changing circumstances as:
(a) the isolation of Albania from direct contact with the Com-
inform; () the recent successes of the Greek armed forces;
and (c) the possibility that the Cominform is becoming dis-
couraged over the Greek situation.
