Southern (R): Yugoslavia (RY). Political Relations between Yugoslavia and US

A file of correspondence concerning relations between the United States and Yugoslavia. Subjects covered in the file include discussions on the current strained relationship following the Yugoslav demands for a U.S. commitment to meet Yugoslavia's expected wheat shortage; and delays in the arrival of aircraft provided under the military aid programme. Further commentary concerns U.S. funding for the "Majdanpek" scheme; and comments made by the Yugoslav president, Josip Tito, who argued he preferred the Soviet method of generous credits at low interest rates to U.S. grant-aid. The file also includes the reaction of the Yugoslav Foreign Office to news that the U.S. Senate has rejected proposals to discontinue American aid to Yugoslavia; and proposals for a visit of president Tito to the United States.
