3 Election propaganda was carried out exclusively by Tito's representatives to, the greater glory of Tito. Polling places were decorated with Tito's portrait and posters reading, “Long live Tito’s free elections.” A vote against the front was. variously described in official posters as a vote in favor of fascism,

of monarchy, of reaction and of »

“enemies of the people.” 4. The Yugoslavs were not eyen allowed tiie freedom not to vote. Would-be abstainers were given clearly to understand that by not voting they would be siding with the “enemies of the people.” 5. So many threats and innuendoes were issued by the Communists in advance of the election that hundreds of thousands of persons voted openly for Tito simply

to avoid being condemned as “ene- |-

mies of the people.” Numerous Polling Places A case in point is the people's front slogan, painted in 18-inch letters oni a wall in Zagreb. “Ivan Mertik and Maria Docino,” it warns, “have by their own votes classified themselves as enemies of the people's front.” Persons so classified are considered as traitors and are, therefore, refused the right to work in statecontrolled enterprises, to serve in the army, and to receive any but the basic bread rations. Polling places were purposely made 50 numerous as to reduce to blocs of from 500 to 700 persons elements brave enough to accept the consequences of voting against the dictatorship. How many polling places returned a negative majority it is impossible to ascertain, for the government has declined to publish a breakdown of election statistics. Figures Falsified? There is little doubt among the majority of observers here, however, that district figures were falsified In order to make it appear that the dictatorship received a majority of votes In every . single district. Everywhere, 1 have gone in Yugoslavia, American, British and other allied observers have expressed dismay. that members of parliament and certain correspondents, who attended the election, could have hailed it as a “free expression of
