1. Iraqi/Kuwaiti develop-
ments
2. Chinese Communists meddling
in Outer Mongolia
a) Qasim's weekend speeches during cele-
brations for the 1958 Iraqi revolution,
insinuating that other Arab states are
following an imperialist policy in the
Kuwait issue, will further alienate 50X1
other Arab governments from Qasim's
cause. 50X1
b) The Arab League Council is scheduled
to meet again on 20 July to try to agreaDo
on an "Arab solution" to the problem,
but prospects for success are not bright.
The Iraqi position is that "We will
never agree to Kuwait's admission to the
League." 50X1
c) The British intend to reduce their
troops from about 5,000 to around 3 500
men during the coming week.
50X1
They reportedly told the Mongolians
that the US wants to get close to
China and cause trouble. Perhaps
with this warning in mind, a Mongolian
foreign ministry spokesman stated 50X1
Saturday that Mongolia knew the US
wanted to establish an embassy in
Ulan Bator to observe Sino-Soviet rela-
tions from that vantage point. The
spokesman further indicated that Mongol
authorities have not yet reached a
decision on whether to exchange repre-
sentatives with the US.

3. Congo parliament scheduled
for meeting in Leopoldville
this week
UN representatives are applying pres-
sure to try to get the three major
groups to compromise and participate
in a new central government. Pressure
on Tshombe seems greatest and lightest
on Gizenga, although his presence in
Leopoldville is still not certain.
The Soviet mission is now installed
in Stanleyville.

NOTES
50X1
A. Ambassador Kennan in Belgrade reports that there are signs of Yugo
slay disillusionment over the increasing alignment of the Castro
regime with the Sino-Soviet bloc. Latin American representatives
in Belgrade are speculating that Cuba will not attend the September
conference of non-aligned nations because of Yu oslav-Cuba
frictions.
B. Moscow radio's domestic service describes the US proclamation of
Captive Nations Week in standard terms as a provocative measure
aimed at assisting in the restoration of the capitalist system in
the people's democracies.
C. Reports that Japan is negotiating the establishment of diplomatic
relations with Outer Mongolia have heightened Chinese Nationalist
apprehensions about Japanese motives. The Nationalist government
sees the Japanese move as a start in a flood of realignments which
it fears would follow a change in US China policy.
