there was no military incentive for dispatching their large and
 
important mission to Tito' s headquarters, their only reason for
 
doing so could be a desire to follow and influence the conduct
 
of Balkan affairs. It looks as though the Russians will have to
 
depend largely on intangibles such as Pan-Slav bonds, and the ad-
 
miration of the Yugoslavs for Russian military accomplishments
 
and the pro-Russian propaganda (spread by the Russian communistic
 
element at the top of the Partisan administration), for their
 
post-war voice in Jugoslav affairs.
 
     According to General Korneef and all other knowledge that
 
we possess aboat her, Russia is in no position at present to
 
provide material assistance to Jugoslavia. There is good reason to believe that Russia will
 
continue unable to render valuable material assistance after the war.
 
     There is one thing, however, that the Jugoslavs expect
 
Russia can and will do for the Partisans. That is to use her good offices at ths peace table, and
 
thereafter, to maintain and insure (a) the political rights of gugoslavia as a country,
 
and less publicly (b) the dominant position of the Partisans
 
within the country.
 
     England also shows every sign of wanting to interest her-
 
self in .Jugoslavia after the War While she does not have the
 
psychological advantages within Jugoslavia which the Russians enjoy, nevertheless she is able to 
 
provide wanted political support and a variety of economic helps as well.
