Economic Sanctions A Possibility

Prague, August 10.

The Eastern European Governments are considering economic pressure on Yugoslavia, it was re- liably learned here today. The Cominform's quarrel with Marshal Tito and the Yugoslav Communists, hitherto kopt carefully on porty lovel, is becoming an affair of Governments. Czechoslovakia, it was stated here, is already tight- ening up controls on trade with Yugoslavia. A reliable informant said the control will amount to sanctions,

Yugoslavin will, in future, have great difficulty in securing import permits from Czecho- lovakia, and Czechoslovakia trading corporations-all now under Stute control-will hold op exports to Yugoslavia ex- cept for the fulfilment of partly orders for goods completed which cannot be disposed of elsewhere.

He said they were based on see the "flimsiest of foundations."

Sir Alexander read a quota- tion which accused the Yugo- slav Minister of the Interior of "terrorism and repression". He added drily that he was quoting from Soviet newspapers.
