Yugoslavia contingent on freedom of movement and access 
to public opinion in Yugoslavia for our observers  to sur-
vey the situation.
 
       We could say frankly that Marshal Tito and his sub-
ordinates have not shown a disposition toward coopera-
tion or even common civility in recent weeks. His refusal 
to cooperate in military plans is beyond the scope of this 
paper, but the attitude on questions of relief negotiations,
censorship restrictions, refusal to grant travel facili-
ties for Allied observers, the Partisan territorial de-
mands, and propaganda policies, all show that the Parti-
san leadership is not disposed to work in loyal coopera-
tion toward the general aims of the United Nations.
 
NOTE: The above summary and attached statement were 
      based on the situation existing before King Peter 
      had given any public indication of his attitude 
      with respect to the Tito-Subasic agreement. It
      has just been announced that the King has refused 
      to accept the agreement in its. present form be-
      cause of (1) the suggested form of the regency 
      and (2) the provision that the Partisan Anti-
      Fascist Council of National Liberation would wield 
      unrestricted legislative powers until the proposed 
      constituent assembly had finished its work. The 
      King feels that these provisions would transfer 
      the power in Yugoslavia to a single political group, 
      Marshal Tito's National Liberation Front.
 
           At this writing we do not know whether nego-
      tiations on the agreement will continue (the King 
      has indicated his approval of the agreement's 
      basic proposals) or whether Marshal Tito will
      refuse to continue the conversations and re-
      quest recognition of his organization as the de jure
      government of Yugoslavia.
