Polemic on General Line of International ... - From Marx to Mao

fifty such agreements were signed in the period between 1957and 1962.Because of the conclusion of these treaties and agreementsand because the Tito clique has made Yugoslavia dependent onU.S. imperialism, the United States enjoys the following rightsin Yugoslavia:(1) to control its military affairs;(2) to control its foreign affairs;(3) to interfere in its internal affairs;(4) to manipulate and supervise its finance;(5) to control its foreign trade;(6) to plunder its strategic resources; and(7) to collect military and economic intelligence.The independence and sovereignty of Yugoslavia have thusbeen auctioned off by the Tito clique.In addition to selling out Yugoslavia’s sovereign rights in aseries of unequal treaties with the United States, the Titoclique, in order to secure U.S. aid, has taken one step afteranother in domestic and foreign policy to comply with Westernmonopoly capital’s demand to penetrate Yugoslavia.Starting from 1950 the Tito clique abolished the monopolyof foreign trade by the state.The Act on Foreign Trade Activities promulgated in 1953permitted enterprises to conduct foreign trade independentlyand to have direct transactions with Western monopoly capitalistenterprises.In 1961 the Tito regime introduced reforms in the systems offoreign exchange and foreign trade. Their main content wasthe further relaxation of restrictions on import and exporttrade. Complete liberalization was effected in the import ofmajor semi-processed materials and certain consumers goods,and restrictions on the import of other commodities were relaxedin varying degrees. Restrictions were removed on thesupply of foreign exchange needed for so-called unrestrictedimports.163
