Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - July 13, 1966, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg Frie priss wed Day july 13, Triumph or disaster awaits Yugoslavia by Edward Crankshaw and Lajos Lederer London special owns president Tito s Yugoslavia is now fairly embarked on a process which at Best will end in the Radical liberalization of the regime and the gradual establishment of an entirely new kind of socialist stale at worst in catastrophe and the fragmentation of the yugoslav federation which it has been marshal Tito s greatest achievement to hold together. Against this background the sensational events of recent Days important and f a r reaching As these were must be seen As details the Auto Nomy of the Security police has been destroyed the Long standing situation whereby the political head of the Sec. Unity police. Alexander rank Vieh could use his police apparatus to control the appointments to government and party posts cannot Short of a coup d recur. Since or. Rankovich and his nominees have not Only been preventing the application of the economic reforms launched in 1965, but also provided the hard Core of the opposition to the Radical political reforms promulgated by the Congress of the socialist Alliance in june the first action had to be taken against these men. The Central Corn Liftee meet ing of a week ago which was intended to be used to inaugurate the political reforms in principle the separation of the communist party from executive had to be devoted to that end. But with the broken and some 400 Rankovich men had been quietly deprived of their posts before or. Rankovich dealt with and 800 have since been suspended the reformers can now get Down to the business of sorting out deeper problems. Utterly paralysed As an example of what had been happening one of the speakers at the Central com Mittee meeting declared that the Federal Secretary for internal affairs the yugoslav minister of the Interior had been utterly paralysed by the men with whom or. Rank Ovich had surrounded him. He was powerless to do the Job for which lie had been appointed. There have been countless other instances of this kind of thing. This will now cease. An important Bridge has been crossed. It will soon be pos sible to see How Rich the opposition to economic and political Reform has been due to the influence of the rank Ovich network How much to grass roots opposition from innumerable party function Aries who have seen their jobs threatened or who Hon Estly think that marshal Tito has gone Toad. Now while the nation breathes with Relief at the a lion taken against the police in general and in particular against or. Rankovich a much disliked figure on whom marshal Tito nevertheless de Pended and to whom he trusted almost unlimited Power. Marshal Tito himself is going easy. There is not the least doubt that marshal Tito in his Clos ing years is determined to broaden the base of govern ment by establishing a wide separation of Powers and by installing in Belgrade a sep Arate ministration truly representative of the conflicting demands not Only of the sep Arate republics but also of Many shades of Public Opin Ion. But his Way will not be easy. He seems to see a monolithic communist party working in harness with a. Government apparatus Man Ned by men of ability who May or May not be communists. He asked for open discus Sion Between All shades of opinion and and interests so that the party and the managers from the directors of Factor ies to the highest administrators can arrive at a Consen sus. On the fact of it. He is demanding that the communist party must continue As a tightly disciplined roup Wor King alongside non party individuals who Are allowed great latitude. Congress called there is to be an extraordinary party Congress in the autumn. Meanwhile two com missions Are sitting one to report More fully on the activities and composition of the police in general and the opponents of Reform in parties Ieuv and the other to consider the immensely complicated political problems which have to be solved before a new relationship Between party and government involving on the part of the party the sur Render of great Powers can be at All precisely formulated. These problems involve not Only ideology and the work fag out of a Chain of com Mand but also the Republican and Federal Structure of store hours 930 to . To . Lilly All depart Rah put of two. Shopper. Aik i m la he a som Tell marshal Tito Aland in which advanced societies As in Slovenia must coexist with backward ones As in Macedonia and with the society which is used to bossing the others Serbia. One is Clear. The breaking of the Rankovich opposition has accelerated the movement and will bring marshal Tito More quickly than he had expected face to face with the real Core of his problem How a communist party can exist in a commanding position once Freedom of expression is not Only permitted but actually institutionalized. He is committed to an Experiment of extreme bold Ness which goes with his character the Success of fail ure of which will not Only make or break Yugoslavia but also Bear most sharply on the future of All communist regimes in Europe. What is going on now in Yugoslavia the attempt to strike a most delicate bal Ance Iii a land where Vio Lence obduracy and extremism Are More traditional than delicacy is therefore nothing less than epoch making., ,1 taking pictures forbidden by Ronnie Wei lows Hong Kong this Village in British held Hong Kong territory is Hong Kong s Gateway to China. It appears to have less Freedom at least to visitors than the town of Shum Cipun under the communist Flag across the Border. The Hong Kong government bars chinese and foreigners alike from visiting this Village unless they Are travelling to China. Photography is forbid Den at lows. A Canadian businessman re turning from China complained i was allowed to take Pic Tures anywhere but As soon As crossed the Bridge to Hong Kong British police stopped me from taking pictures. I always thought Hong Kong was a free land a show win Dow for democracy. But a British Frontier officer said All restrictions in the Vil Lage were imposed at the quest of the chinese communists. The men on the other Side China believe they Are the Bosses. Since the British still want to keep Hong Kong As their Colony we let them get away with thousands of businessmen in eluding Canadian French Jap anese australian and chinese visited China s recent Trade fair in Canton. The chinese communists also periodically staged opera shows just across the Border at Buni Chun at bargain prices presumably to earn foreign Exchange. The communist run travel service offers a package Deal of a four Day Canton tour at theoretically All chinese in Hong Kong Are allowed to enter China if they possess re entry permits to Hong Kong. Occasionally communist Ait thormities bar some Hong Kong chinese. A chinese woman with the required pass crossed the Border into China but was told by communist Frontier guards to return to Hong Kong. She refused and sat Down at the Bridge shouting against the chinese communists. You Are All hypocrites and the greatest hypocrite of All is your Boss Mao she screamed at chinese guards. This went on for More than an hour before British immigration officers dragged her off the Bridge and put her on a train to Hong Kong City. One immigration officer said we had to do it because she is a Hong Kong citizen.
