THE COMMUNIST BLOC USSR: In his speech to the Hungarian party congress on 1 December, Khrushchev maintained the moderate and flex- ible line which has characterized his foreign policy pronounce- ments since his visit to the US. He denied "fabrications" in the Western press that the USSR no longer desires an early summit meeting. He repeated the warning contained in the TASS statement of 18 November that Moscow will sign a sep- arate peace treaty with East Germany if the West refuses to conclude a treaty with both German states, but avoided any sug- gestion that such unilateral action is imminent. This speech, like his last two foreign policy speeches, contained evidence that Khrushchev is concerned over Peiping's challenge to Mos- cow's ideological primacy and hegemony in the Communist world and the Chinese Communists' apparent rnigcrivino�Q gar ding his peaceful coexistence line. (Page 1) Communist China: The absence from Peiping of several key officials suggests that a meeting of top party leaders is in progress or may be imminent. Mao Tse-tung and his first deputyp Liu Shao-chi� have been away from the capital since late October and may have been joined in November by Pre- 0 I mier Chou En-lai and other politburo members. The US Con- sulate General in Hong Kong believes that plans for a new "leap forward" in 1960 and the disposition of "rightist" critics of the regime would be likely topics for discussion.
