...talk about the prospects of 'Titoism' in China, it is generally assumed that all satellites must be treated alike by the Russians without any degrees of dependence. There have been signs that they are willing to accept from China a much looser form of attachment than is required from the East European satellites. Apart from the vast extent and remoteness of China, the fact that the Chinese Communists have had an army and territory of their own for more than twenty years . . . puts the Chinese in a different category from all other non-Soviet Communists...
Kostov had been ousted from power last spring for being "anti-Soviet," which meant in plain Bulgarian that like Tito he opposed his country's economic exploitation by Moscow. "Kostovism," explained Bulgaria's new boss, Vulko Chervenkov, "is nothing but Titoism on Bulgarian soil." Through the summer and fall, Kostov and ten alleged accomplices were prepared for another big Communist show trial. It was reported that Kostov was flown to Moscow for "rehearsals." His jailers persuaded Kostov to write a 32,000 word "confession" of his anti-Russian activities, including the customary self-accusations that he had been...
These men-and the possibility that others would join their ranks-were among the reasons why a new meeting of the Cominform was held, "somewhere in Hungary," in the latter part of November.

...spread of Titoism depends on Tito's proof of its ability to survive. Because he is cut off from the East, that survival in turn depends on U. S. support. This is unfortunate for many reasons. Aid to Tito antagonizes Russia, although the likelihood of Russian attack hinges on the unknown factor of how the Soviets assess his threat to Eastern solidarity. Aid to Tito may well appear as another example of Western imperialism and alarm Eastern Europeans. Tito's regime is vigorously anti-democratic and the U. S. can have no intrinsic interest in maintaining...
...agenda: the cold war between Russia and Yugoslavia. The Yugoslav delegation voted with the Russians against the Chinese Nationalists' proposal; in effect this was a vote for China's new Communist rulers, whom the Yugoslavs hail as comrades, hoping that the Chinese might turn to a Titoism of their own. But on most other issues, the Yugoslavs lined up with the West. Last week, the U.S. announced that it would back the Yugoslavs for a seat on the Security Council against Czechoslovakia. The Yugoslavs, declared the Ukraine's Dmitri Manuilsky in a withering speech before the Assembly...
