Different reactions in the several countries reemphasize the
fact that Germans, French, Italians and British still hold
distinctly individual views of their respective national interests.
(ER 62-8208)
b. "Yugoslav Trade Unions Gain in Rivalry With Bloc Oriented
Communists to Convene a Neutralist Labor Meeting!'

ful campaign for convening a world labor conference of "unaligned"
unions, primarily from underdeveloped countries. (ER 62-8209)

f. "Implications of the Cuban Crisis for the Soviet Internal Scene"
It is not clear how much the Soviet leadership was shaken by the
Cuban crisis. There is no evidence of gains or losses in status.

Possibilities have increased for a military confrontation of
Saudi Arabia and Jordan with the UAR. (ER 62-8287)

Most significant Asian reaction to the dismantling operations came,

favor the US-UN stand. Once the crisis is resolved, neutral
attitudes may reflect more sympathy for Cuba and respect for
Khrushchev than praise for Kennedy. (ER 62-8281)
1. "Sihanouk's Threat to Bring in Peiping"
Sihanouk has almost maneuvered himself into a position obliging
him to ask for Chicom military aid, if the West fails to meet his
demands for territorial integrity and neutrality guarantees.
(ER 62-8297)
j.
"Mutual Concessions: An Old Soviet Theme"
Although the idea of compromise has long been articulated as
part of the doctrine of peaceful coexistence, it is worth noting
that the recent Soviet "concession to peace" in Cuba occurred
under the one condition that Moscow has always claimed would
never produce Soviet concessions: a US threat to employ force
against the USSR. (ER 62-8296)
