COVENTRY, Warwickshlre. Eng- land, Oct. 25 — (OP) - Food Min- lster John Strachey told a public meeting tonight that when the present long-term Canadian wheat: contract expires. the Government "may further reduce these and other food purchases frmn dollar areas." He said the Government wantr "to go on buying our wheat from them (Canada) but we cannot buy with dollars we haven't got." Strachey Said that during his period in office food imports from dollar countries had been cut from 38 to 12 per cent of which nine per cent was Canadian wheat. "There is nothing frightfully complicated about our present eco nomic problem. In tssence there are two ways in which it can b- met. ‘The first is to buy less from dgllar countries and the second is Russia ' Demands Recall Of Yugoslav Ambassador. LONDON, Oct. 26 -— (Wednes- day) — (AP) — The Soviet Union said today it has demanded the recall of the Yugoslav Ambassa- dor to Moscow because he is guilty of "spying and subversive activi- ties” against Russia. The action followed Russia's re- nunciation last month of her treaty of friendship with Yugoslavia. 1t brought Moscow perilously chose to a full diplomatic break with Marshal Tito‘s Government. The Russian Ambassador to Bel- grade has been absent from his post for many weeks. Karl Mrazovic. Yugoslav Am- bassador to Russia, went to Mos- cow last Dec. l6 when relations between Yugoslavia and Russia were already near the boiling point. The economic squeeze put on Yugoslavia by Russia and her eastern satellites was in full ef- fect. Moscow dispatches at the time said only a minor Russian protocol officer was sent to greet Mrazovic on his arrival. The Moscow radio, which an- nounced the demand for the recall of Mrazovic, said it was contained in a note handed to the Yugoslav Embassy in Moscow yesterday. The note said that the recent Budapest trial of the now-executed former Hungarian Foreign Minis- ter, Laszlo Rajk, showed that the present Yugoslav Ambassador in the U. S. S. R., Mrazovic, had for a long time engaged in spying and subvtqsive activities against Rus- sis. The Yugoslav Ambassador had also "come out in the Yugoslav press with slanderous fabrications against the Soviet Union," the note said. "In view of this the Soviet Gov- ernment considers it impossible for Mrazovic to continue being Yugoslavian diplomatic represen- tative in the U. S. S. R." the note to sell more to them.
