1. Sino-Soviet
Dispute
a. The Chinese and Soviets
appear unable even to find a formula
for ending their talks.
b. The Soviets yesterday pub-
lished a vindictive 35,000-word reply
to the notorious Chinese letter of
14 June, which they also finally
published.
c. The Soviet letter is a free-
swinging attack on the most vulner-
able points of the Chinese position,
directly accusing the Chinese leader-
ship of distortion, falsification,
"pseudo theorizing", just plain ly-
ing, and even using "foul language."
id. Moscow for the first time
accused the Chinese of organizing
and supporting "various anti-party
groups of renegades" in an attempt
to undermine the unity of the entire
world Communist movement.
e. But, by stopping short of
the brink--the Soviets insist that
unity is still desired and possible
and still address the Chinese as
"comrades--the Soviet party shows
it still hopes to force Peiping to
take the final step, or at least
break off the talks.

2. South Vietnam
f. Much of this two-scorpions-
in-a-bottle act is purely tactical,
but we suspect there is also an
emotional aspect: after 40 years
of living Marxism-Leninism, it must
be exceedingly difficult to accept
a schism.
b. We are convinced Nhu was
most critical of Diem and sought
the support of the military for his
own policies in exchange for more
responsible positions, but are less
confident that Nhu directly urged
the generals to mount a coup.

3. British Guiana
a. Duncan Sandys has 'ade
some progress in forming from the
three main parties a temporary co-
alition government to hold office
until another constitutional con-
ference is held in London.
b.
d. There may yet be consider-
able infighting about specific min-
istries.

NOTES
A. Guinea The confusion over whether Toure has de-
cided to stop T1.1-114 flights to Cuba via Guinea
probably reflects a major policy struggle which ap-
pears to be going on in the regime's ruling politi-
? cal bureau. The extreme left seems to be trying to
make an issue of this in an effort to reverse Toure's
movement toward the West. Even if Toure wins out,
as our embassy thinks probable, he may have to make
other concessions which will slow the trend away
from the bloc.
Haiti Radio Haiti announced yesterday afternoon
that Clement Barbot, his brother and others were
killed in a fire fight yesterday morning.
C. India
D. Ecuador Ambassador Bernbaum tells us that the
junta has been accepted with enthusiasm by the
parties of the right and with tolerance by the par-
ties of the democratic left. The Communists ap-
parently have been forced to abandon their plans
for mass demonstrations and a general strike. The
junta has declared its intention to return the na-
tion to an electoral civilian government by mid-1964
rather than 1965 as previously announced.
