[Received 8:30 p.m.]

Yugos 13. My 9, July 22. Referring to Tito’s failure to attend meeting on July 12, Finance Minister Sutej states that Subasic, accompanied by Kosanovic and Cankar, left London for Caserta Thursday evening August 10 to meet with Tito. Subasic had not planned such a trip at this time. The decision to go was taken at a moment’s notice at the instance of the British.

Sutej adds that in addition to settling various military questions, Subasic hopes at the meeting to secure Tito’s agreement to a declaration of policy adopted by the Cabinet at a meeting on August 8.
