Tito's Country •
Sig—Having myself visited Tito's Country" in July, I was much inter- ested by Mrs. Barbara Castle's article which appeared in your issue of September 14th. While endorsing all that she said, there are two small points upon which I would like to comment. Maybe it is Marshal Tito's critics who say that he never moves without the most elaborate precautions, but the precautions being taken when his train stopped for a few minutes in Ljubljana station on July 31st could only be described by any objective observer as "most elaborate." For the first time in my life I saw how a dictator travels, in a train far superior to any other to be seen in his country, with all the blinds drawn, and with police and armed guards not only standing at every door and surrounding the train, but even patrolling the carriage-roofs !
Mrs. Castle's description of the two middled-aged ladies whom she visited in Zagreb, their home, and their views, leads me to believe that they must be the same as those whom my Swedish friend and 1 visited there, and I think it worth mentioning that one of them told us that she now likes to be addressed as " Comrade Countess."—Yours sincerely,
