USSR, Su r~s eme Soviet assts ew n_W ~?__ ova nde At a joint evening
session on 21 March 51, the Supreme Soviet decreed: (1) to consider that
war propaganda, whatever its form, undermines the cause of peace, creates

humanity; (2) to prosecute persons guilty of war propaganda and try them

custom check at the Belgrade airport, Soviet Embassy officials met the
plane as if there were high ranking officials on board. Since the ninth
plenum of the Communist Party Central Committee held in Tirana from 19 to
23 Feb, in addition to the governmental shakeup, local Communist Party
officials have been dismissed and stricter control measures have been
instituted,

?PB" BULGARIA. New Civil Defense Mass Organization- Created. The newly created
"Voluntary Organization for Defense Assistance"" is reported by Radio
Sofia to be in the process of organizational activities throughout Bulgaria.
The broadcast indicates that members are pledging themselves to attain
greater proficiency in the arts "for the defense of peace" such as sharp-
shooting, parachute jumping, glider piloting and to train "thousands"in
similar activities. Courses will be held "to prepare all members in sharp-
shooting and air defense,before the end of the year." Mine workers of
Vulkan colliery have challenged Maritsa coal miners to a "competition for
efficiency in the courses." COMMENT.- Organization 25X1
of this new group follows close on the heels of the merger of the two mass
pars,-military organizations for civilian survoaillance and control, 25X1
The USSR is overlooking no bets in strengthening
its Bulgarian outpose for all contingencies.
HBO CZECHOSLOVAKIA. Catholic Bishops Succumb to Communist Pressure, On. 12
March, four Roman Catholic Bishops and two other church administrators swore
loyalty to Czechoslovakia"s Communist regime before Vice-Premier Fierlinger,
Director of the Office for Church Affairs. COMMENT: 25X1
The 12 Bishops of Czechoslovakia until now have presented an united front
against increasing pressure from the regime to accede to the Le.w of 1 November
1949 which required all clergymen to take a prescribed loyalty oath. Two
of the Bishops were sentenced to long prison terms last January on charges
of treason and espionage. The banishment of Archbishop Beran from Praha and
the investiture of a pro-regime priest as Archbishop pro teml 25X1
probably paved the way for the fealty ceremct"y. As a
result of this new rapprochement, the Government is considerably closer to
the creation of an autonomous Roman Catholic Church in Czechoslovakia, ex-
empt from the influence,ef the Holy See. ,
""B"" HUNGARY Permission to Set Up New Cooperatives Temporarily Suspended. A
decree issued 27 February prohibits the' establishment of new agricultural
producer cooperative groups from 10 March until further noticed Hungarian
officials explained that the order has a two-fold aim: (1) working peasants
must devote all their energy to agriculture now that spring is here; and
(2) efforts must be made to strengthen those cooperatives already set upb
COMMENT: An intensive campaign during the last few
months to increase the number of cooperatives resulted in the formation of
1,800, bringing the total to 3,480 at the end of February. A shortage of
skilled agriculturalists and tractors, as well as other weaknesses pro-
hibit further numerical development of the cooperative movement at this
time. Efforts to increase the membership of the existing cooperatives,
however, are continuing. Meanwhile, the anti?kulak campaign is being in-
tensified. According to Hungarian officials 70% of the arable land is
still in individual holdings.
Production of Children Promoted, A decr?e issued 8 March creates
the Order of Merit for Motherhood "to honor the mothers of many children
who have greatly contributed to the strengthening of the homeland."
COMMENT, The Bulgarian Government recently awarded
medals to 39 mothers who had reared many children. The Russian Communists
and German Nazis used the same method to increase their populations,

YUGOSUVIA. !tractors for Yu oslaviao Embassy Belgrade strongly supports
the Yugoslav proposal to obtain 5-7,000 tractors from Western Buropean
estimate that the additional tractors would enable a 15% increase i. grain
production, particularly over a period of 2-3 years. The Embassy points
out that tractors on farms will not only improve Yugoslavia's export and
foreign exchange position but will also relieve the stringent manpower
situation in the Yugoslav mining, forestry and other essential industries.
The Embassy states that the essential weakness of Yugoslav ve-ear
Plan of economic development lies in the imbalance of agriculture, es-
pecially the syphoning off of manpower from the farms,This has resulted
in a manpower shortage on the farms without provision for replacement,
and has contributed to the failure of agriculture to recover its prr
status The Embassy does not consider unrealistic the Yugoslav
countries. through BOB on easy credit terms.
The Embassy cautions, however, that unless the tractors are utilized to
the best advantage on private farms as well as collectivized farms
(which represent only 20% of agricultural land), the recent tendency
toward decline in over-all farm production may continue, thereby negating
COMMENT.- Yugoslavia's ability to use an additional 5-7,000 tractors is
limited by its lack of trained operators and maintenance facilities,
Previous reports indicate that manpower difficulties in industry, mining,
etc., arose, at least in part, from the fact that manpower would not stay,
but returned to farms. While mechanization would release labor from farms,
it is not believed that there is now an agricultural labor shortage.

Niwat to succeed the late Prince Rangsit as Regent of the Realm. The
appointment was approved by Parliament with only Prime Minister Phibun
and a "maverick MP" voting in opposition. Ambassador Stanton comments

and will probably cast a shadow over his relations with the new regent,

tic" Com unitt vulnerabilities. A mid-February summary of POW interro-

continue to be hunger, frostbite and fear of air attack. Almost two-thirds
of the POWs claimed that food was obtained entirely through foraging and
that food had become increasingly scarce south of the 38th Parallel.
Two-thirds of the POWs, both Chinese and North Korean, mentioned frostbite
and estimated that 10 to 97% of the men in their units had been affected.
Shortages of medicines and medical facilities were a more serious factor
among North Koreans than among Chinese. No North Koreans reported receiv-

Increasin Lf1 ely. Cabinet res u e In Apra or immedia e y
a- er - ie l4lay elec ions is probable now that the Socialist Party of
Italian Workers (PSLI) and the Unitary Socialist Party (PSU) executive
committees have signed a definitive agreement for unification, based
on PSLI withdrawal from the Government (and PSU support for the
Atlantic Pact). US Ambassador Dunn believes it likely that the PSLI
convention (beginning 31 March) will accept the unification agreement
and that the PSLI may leave the Cabinet during early April. The
Ambassador adds that "no one even hazards a guess" as to what the new
Cabinet would be like. He points out that the agreement :makes no
mention of trade union policy. C OI.UMT1;NT
Because of intensified pressure from the right and _e - wings of
Premier De Gasperi s s Christian Democratic Party, a new Cabinet will
probably involve increased concessions to these two groups. The
ISLIes decision to leave the Government is probably precipitated by
(1) possibility that a strong Italian socialist movement may develop
as the result of the projected alliance between the PSU and the
follow?rin of Communist defectors M.Tagnani and Cucchi F_ -1
and (2) the increasing ineffectiveness of the PSLI in the
Christian Democratic-dominated Cabinet.

meat to join a coalition.. The program calls for an increase in
defense expenditures and a restriction of consumption and investment
to ease the balance of payments disequilibrium. The now Cabinet has
the same political complexion as the last, with participation by the
two major parties (Catholic and Labor) and two of the minor parties
(Christian Historical Union and Freedom and Democracy). Furthermore,
there will be few shifts in Cabinet personnel, as Drees, Stikker and
Lieftinck retain the posts of Premier Foreign Affairs, and Finance,
respectively. COIll NT: The retention
of almost all the members or the former a inet' p- ably will give
continuity to Dul,ch domestic and international policy. The inclusion
of Stikker, despite repudiation by his party (Freedom and Democracy)
is indicative of the national and international eminence he has at-
tained.. The immediate need for measures to carry out the defense,
social, and economic programs indicates that the New Guinea issue,
which was the direct cause of the last C abinet t s downfall, will be
pushed into the background.
"C" IRELAND. Cabinet Shuffle of Little Significance. In a triangular
rea oration of Cabinet positions, t e Mnis erg of Defense, Industry
and Commerce, and Justice have exchanged responsibilities.
COTSEMINIT: The move was effected in order to give
the ailing 11intis cr c ustry and Commerce the less burdensome
Justice portfolio. The coalition Governmentts balance remains un-
altered as all three men are members of the same party; no significant
policy change is involved. The facility with which the Ministry of
Defense was reassigned suggests the slight importance the Government
still attaches to military :matters.

the Austrian Treaty and German unity issue to the Soviet agenda consti-
