GENERAL
1. Peiping meeting commitment to export rice to USSR:
2.
en-rnment:
Peiping had contracted to deliver to
the USSR 50,000 tons of rice in 1953. Peiping's fulfillment of this
agreement should probably be interpreted as further evidence of a
determination to pay for imports by maintaining food exports, de-
spite relatively poor harvests, rather than as evidence of Soviet
pressure. This desire was shown in barter talks this summer with
Finland and Ceylon in which the Chinese insisted that both countries
accept more foodstuffs than they desired.

NEAR EAST - AFRICA
Arabs seek punitive action by UN against Israel:
At its 23 October meeting in Amman, the 3.3(h)(2)
Arab League decided to request the UN
Security Council to take punitive measures
against Israel as an aggressor in accordance
with articles 39 and 41 of the UN charter.
The league also decided to reject any UN
decision calling for peace negotiations with Israel and to insist on
Israeli compliance with UN resolutions on partition, the refugees
problem,and the status of Jerusalem as a prerequisite to peace in
the area.
Comment: This report, supplementing
earlier summaries of the league's decisions, indicates that the Arabs
hope for UN sanctions against Israel in support of their own economic
blockade.

6. Yugoslays seen willing to make concessions on Trieste:
In the opinion of the American charge in 3.3(h)(2)
Belgrade, Yugoslavia is prepared to make
substantial concessions in a five-power
conference on Trieste in return for a face-
saving solution. Yugoslav leaders hinted in recent conversations,
however, that the conference would fail if they were "backed into a
corner" by the other four powers. They suggest that some agreement
on substantive points be reached in advance of actual talks.
