Title: Allen Appraises Support For Tito 01:05:10 MCU at desk in front of painting, speaks SOF: “I’ve been asked why I think the United States should support Tito. Let’s remember two cardinal points in American foreign policy: first, we support the Independence of small countries & oppose their domination from the outside. In the present quarrel between the Soviet Union & Yugoslavia, the Yugoslavs are struggling desperately to maintain their independence & their freedom from domination by Moscow. In a case of that kind we are on the side of the country that is struggling to maintain its Independence. Secondly, we are determined in our opposition to aggression. If we are to believe not only the propaganda of Radio Moscow & the Soviet propaganda agencies, but the official notes of Soviet officials, there exists at the present time a very definite threat of aggression in the world...doesn’t mean that we approve of the government of Yugoslavia. We support independence, and oppose aggression. Cold War; Anti-Communism; Anti-Communist; Conservative; NOTE: Senator James Allen, Democrat, Alabama.
