Approved For Release 2004/02/19 : CIA-RDP83-00415R006800050005-6 Six years of selfless free labor have brought outstanding results. The Bul- garian people know that they are the masters of their country, and they are devoting all their strength to the cause of developing and consolidating their homeland. All the thoughts of the new Bulgaria are concentrated on peace. Vilko Chervenkov, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of Bulgaria, declar- ed on behalf of the people: “Our peo- ple stand for peace, they fight for peace, they constitute the faithful and loyal detachment of the international army of peace headed by the Soviet Union.” The Bulgarian people are confident of their bright future, of the morrow. A guarantee of Bulgaria's independence and its further progress for the weal of the people, for peace throughout the world, lies in its alliance and fraternal co-operation with the USSR and the peo- ple’s democracies. AGRICULTURAL MACHINES. Bulgaria, with Soviet aid, now produces many types. These are from the G. Dimitrov Machine-Building Factory. New Treacherous Act against the Interests Of the Yugoslav People ast summer, the Yugoslav Skup- L shtina adopted a law repealing na- tionalization and transferring the indus. trial enterprises, railways, coal and ore mines, and other enterprises into the hands of so-called “labor collectives.” The Tito fascist clique has thus taken a new step toward restoring capitalism in Yugoslavia. Like his accomplices, Tito, a most bitter enemy of peace, democracy, and socialism, had never intended to build socialism in Yugoslavia, Having fraud- ulently seized power, the Tito gang was forced to introduce a number of demo- cratic reforms against its will in order to hoodwink the working people and se- cure power to itself: it effected insig- nificant agrarian reforms, nationalized the banks, factories, and mills, and hyp- octitically announced freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and religion. It is now perfectly obvious that Tito insolently deceived and betrayed his peo- ple even at the very beginning of his 608 By M. Paromov Master of Economic Sciences “reformist” activities. The nationalized enterprises did not become the property of the people. The Yugoslav fascists utilized these enterprises for ruthless exploitation of the working class. From the sweat of the workers, who slaved 12 and 14 hours a day, they pumped out the funds for the extension and main- tenance of the fascist army and the Ran- kovic police apparatus to suppress the people. Actually, the Yugoslav enter- prises are the property of forcign mo- nopolies. The whole of the country is subordinated to the imperialists, both economically and politically. With the strengthening of Rankovic's fascist police apparatus, Tito's clique “modified” or directly abolished one re- form after another. The results of the agrarian reform were nullified by a number of anti-democratic measures. Under cover of demagogic slogans about the “building of socialism in the vil- lage,” the Titoites formed village “zadrugi’” (co-operatives) which are dominated by the rich. Laboring peas- ants have been forced into these ‘“‘za- drugi” and ruthlessly exploited by the village capitalists. Here is a typical example showing what these “zadrugi” are. The chairman of the “zadrugi’” in the village of Kiezh- pole, Bosnia, is Vlajko Shilegovic, a village kulak and brother of a Tito general. His 100 hectares (247 acres) of land are tilled by the poor laborers free of charge. The income of Shile- govic, in money and kind, exceeds the income of all the 15 members of the “zadrugi” taken together. The unpopu- larity of these “zadrugi” among the peasants is seen very clearly in the in- tensive struggle waged by the Yugoslav peasants against the Tito regime. In the autumn of 1949 the peasants left a con- siderable part of the arable land unsow- ed, and in the spring of 1950 only 45 - per cent of the land was sowed, The liquidation of the nationalized enterprises opened broad possibilities to USSR INFORMATION BULLETIN Approved For Release 2004/02/19 : CIA-RDP83-00415R006800050005-6
