Tito Seduced ty Marshall Plan? By G. R. BRUNST
(N.C.W.C. News Service.)
WASHINGTON, June 29.-What is really "behind the vitriolic attack by the Communist Information Bure,ii: (Cominform) against Marshal Tito, Communist boss o' Yugoslavia, and his chief aides; the effect of this sudden and sensational development on the world political situ. tion; the personal fate of Tito, and the possible bearing the crisis in Yugoslavia may have upon the position of the Church in that country; all these things are still a mat. ter of speculation.
Signed by Msgr. Giovanni B. Montini, Papal Under Secretary of State, the message stated: "The Holy Father, rejoicing with the Indians of the North-west on the occasion of the first Solemn Mass of one of their sons, imparts his Apostolic Blessing to Father Brown, to all participating in the cert. stony, and to all Indians of the North-west."
