DAILY BRIEF
(Lk-CI? I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
) Communist China Guinea: Communist China, intent
.zV on displaying Its often-mentioned support for new African
republics, is giving Guinea 10,000 tons of rice this year, a
quarter of which has been delivered. Last year, Peiping
gave 5,000 tons of rice--a staple item in the Guinea diet.
The new gift will help relieve Guinea's critical food shortage
and increase Peiping's standing with President Toure's re-
rime. which has faced mounting nonular unrest.

new elections, which they want, the Social Democrats re-
cently threatened to collaborate with the Communists in a
no-confidence motion. The government escaped a censure
vote only by yielding to the parliamentary majority, on the
question. With the Social Democrats seeking to force elec-
tions, the Agrarians will increasingly need the votes which
the Communists have been giving them to stay in power.

Iran Taking Precautions tjAgainst Possible Student Riot
the Irani-
an National Intelligence and Security Organization (SAVAK)
has evidence that Iranian students are plan-
ning disturbances similar to those in Korea and Turkey.
SAVAK has taken steps to forestall any such out-
breaks, but because the Turkish riots have had a strong ef-
fect in Tehran, he expects repercussions "for some time to
come,n
lThere are unconfirmed rumors that many, politically ac-
tive students and teachers in Tehran have been arrested. Com-
munist leaflets exhorting students to riot were reportedly
distributed at Tehran University on 2 May. Overt Communist
demonstrations have not taken place at the university for
several years, and any Communist organization there rob-
ably is small and under constant surveillance by SAVAK.
Granian officials apparently do not anticipate serious un-
rest in the near future. The Shah left for a month in Europe
on 4.May, and Bakhtiar intends to leave the country for a
week beginning 7 May. The intelligence chief of the Supreme
Staff, Lieutenant General All Kia, is also out of the country.
The execution in Tabriz on 4 May of five Communists arrested
last July on charges of conspiracy is probably intended in
part as a warning that the government is ready to take stern
measures.j

Political Situation in Finland
Finland's Agrarian government, which commands only 47
out of the 200 seats in parliament, is in an increasingly pre-
carious position, and the political situation seems to be evolv-
ing to the potential advantage of the Communist-front Finnish
People's Democratic League (SKDL)--the Diet's largest party
with 50 seats. The government came dangerously close to fall-
ing when the Social Democrats, who have been increasingly ir-
ritated at the Agrarians, decided to support a no-confidence
motion introduced by the SKDL on a routine parliamentary meas-
ure. Confronted by this unusual cooperation between the mutually
hostile parties of the left, the Agrarians decided to avoid a show-
down and yielded on the legislation in question.
The present minority Agrarian government resulted from
the long cabinet crisis of late 1958 when the USSR enforced its
strong objections to the present leadership of the Social Demo-
cratic party by refusing to negotiate the annual trade agreement
until the Social Democratic - led coalition had resigned. The
Agrarians in January 1959 formed a minority cabinet which was
able to break the impasse with Moscow and yet excluded the S1CDL.
The Agrarians have used Soviet objections to the incumbent Social
Democratic leaders as a pretext for maintaining a monopoly of the
government, stating it is impossible to cooperate with the Social
Democrats as long as their party leadership remains unchanged.
The Social Democrats have recently adopted a policy of har-
assing the minority government with an eye to forcing new elec-
tions. Elections are unlikely, however, as long as President
Kekkonen remains determined to maintain the present cabinet or,
if it falls, to form a "presidential" cabinet to rule until the regu-
larly scheduled parliamentary elections in 1962.
The present drift is increasingly demoralizing the anti-Com-
munist forces, with the Social Democrats determined to force
new elections. The Agrarian regime can remain in power only
so long as the SKDL wants it to. The Socialists, already split be-
tween moderate and leftist wings, are increasingly tempted to ac-
cept Communist support in order to harass the Agrarians.

Cyprus
/he release on May of the edifor of an anti-Makarios
newspaper on Cyprus, 11 days after his abduction, may
lessen tensions recently developed within the Greek Cypriot
community. The abduction is widely regarded as the work of
some of the more fanatical supporters of Archbishop Makarios.
The already strained relations between Makarios and former
EOKA leader George Grivas, in Athens, were virtually sev-
ered following the editor's disappearance, when Grivas openly
denounced the kidnaping and the archbishop's political leader-
ship of the Cypriots;]
L'Ihe prolonged delay in obtaining independence has caused
widespread doubts among the population as to the competency
of the interim government and the feasibility of implementing
the original Cyprus settlement of February 1959. Makarios' po-
sition among the Greek Cypriot population has deteriorated re-
cently, and reports indicate that his interim cabinet ministers
are becoming discouragedA
I-An agreement in late April on the extent of the British bases,
after prolonged negotiations on this issue, has been followed by
further disputes over the exact boundaries and administration of
these bases and the amount of economic aid to be granted the
Cypriot Republic by London. British Governor Foot has stressed
that Makarios must give in on the boundaries and administrative
issues, but has indicated that Britain might increase its aid of-
fer. Reports indicate that Makarios has become more intransigent
in the negotiations, partly as a direct result of awareness that he
is losing popular support on the island. He appears to hope that a
tough attitu e toward the British will rpfrair, nmP nf tha prestige
he has lost.
