1. A report from Slovenia was recently rest ived by political leaders abroad,
which purports to be an authentic message from the leaders of the Slovene
Christian Socialist Party insd.de Yugoslavia. A precis of the salient
points of the text foll.(we :

in Slovenia;

as a result of commc-n opposition to the rem;
c. The Slovene Christian Socialist Party desires an autonomous Slovenia
within a Central 0a ropearDanubian Confederation. This group rejects
a Centralized Federated Yugoslavia and the concept of "Tugoslovenstvol";
do The group advocates governmental and economic reforms patterned along

Younger Slovene Christian Socialist Party elements are extremely
disillusioned with the Tito regime and opposed to any future Yugoslavia
under a Serb leadership.
