DAILY BRIEF
I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
*Warsaw Pact Meeting: The declaration adopted on
4 February by the Warsaw Pact members meeting in Mos-
cow suggests that the main purpose of the meeting was to
provide a demonstration of Bloc solidarity and support for
the USSR's positions on questions that Khrushchev has pro-
posed for discussion at the summit conference in May. The
generally moderate declaration hailed Moscow's decision to
reduce its forces but stopped short of announcing any reduc-
tions in Eastern European satellite forces or in Soviet forces
stationed in these countries. A summary of the communique
issued simultaneously hinted at further moves in this direc-
tion, however, by stating that the Pact members had "co-
ordinated their future actions" toward "consolidating the re-
laxation of international tensions." Khrushchev's speech to
the conference, which has not yet been published, may pro-
vide more specific indications of Bloc initiatives prior to the
summit meeting.
ASIA-AFRICA
India-USSR: Soviet President Voroshilov's 18-day visit
to India�from 20 January to 5 February--has had little im-
pact. His party of about 70, including First Deputy Premier
Kozlov, First Deputy Foreign Minister Kuznetsov, and Pre-
sidium member Mme. Furtseva, made an extensive tour of
the country. Indian officials and the press went through the
motions of welcome and entertainment but without enthusiasm.
To Indian officials, the forthcoming visit of Khrushchev and
the possibility that he will contribute to settling the Sino-Indian
border dispute has greater significance_

So,
Sino-Indian Border Dispute: Nehru's plan to invite
Chou� En-lai to New Delhi in mid-March without insisting
on preconditions has been approved by the Indian cabinet's
foreign affairs committee. Nehru somewhat heatedly
countered objections by arguing that in view of increas-
ing international pressure. India should maintain its case
hut not nvoid mppting
Nehru apparently has de-
cided that India's full legal position should be on record be-
fore Khrushchev's arrival on 11 February. Release of this
new note will almost certainly provoke strong protests in the
Indian Parliament and press-7
FJ
Burma: Tomorrow's parliamentary elections will return
Burma from military to civil control. Informed observers
� expect victory for the party headed by former Premier U Nu.
The present premier, General Ne Win, will resume his posi-
tion as military commander in chief but intends to continue to
exercise influence over the government from behind the scenes.
Western relations with the strictly neutralist U Nu might be
more difficult than those existing with General Ne Win.

Middle East Oil: At Lebanese suggestion, the UAR, Jor-
dan, and Lebanon will confer to co-ordinate their policy toward
the Trans Arabian Pipeline Company (Tapline)s,
All three states have demanded
sharply increased transit revenues. The claims of these na-
tions and of Saudi Arabia together exceed the pipeline's total
profits, and a crisis will develop unless they are scaled down
sharply. (Page 2)

Burmese Parliamentary Election Prospects
Burmese voters go to the polls on 6 February to select
a new civilian government to succeed the incumbent military
regime of Premier Ne Win. The army, which assumed pow-
er in October 1958 because the government had disintegrated
following a split in the ruling Anti-Fascist People's Freedom
League (AFPFL), is voluntarily relinquishing office to the
politicians. Active army personnel are not standing for of-
fice.
The two major parties in the election are the "Clean"
AFPFL under former Premier U Nu and the "Stable" AFPFL
headed by his former deputies, Ba Swe and Kyaw Nyein. In-
formed opinion predicts that the "Clean" party will carry a
majority of the 250 constituencies. In the absence of major
policy issues, the personality of U Nu is expected to be the
determining factor. Independents and candidates of the Com-
munist-dominated National United Front and various ethnic
minority parties are expected to win relatively few seats.
A Nu victory may create some difficulties in Western
relations with Burma. Under Ne Win's regime there has been
a slight swing toward the West, but U Nu is a strict neutral-
ist. He has bitterly accused the West, and the United States
in particular, of financing his opposition.
Army leaders, who prefer the "Stable" party, are re-
signed to Nu's return to the premiership, even though they
consider him politically untrustworthy and administrative-
ly incompetent. They plan to keep him under close scrutiny,
however, and intend to take over again should it appear neces-
sary. General Ne Win, who will resume his post as military
commander in chief, will be in a particularly powerful posi-
tion in this respect. He has long commanded the undivided
loyalty of the army as well as civilian respect. His role in
Burma's recent border agreement with Communist China and
his successful domestic reforms have enhanced his position.

Arabs Coordinate Demands on Tapline
At Lebanese Prime Minister Karami's suggestion, the
UAR, Jordan, and Lebanon will hold a conference to co-
ordinate their demands for sharply increased revenues
from the Trans Arabian Pipeline Company (Tapline)
Tapline currently
moves from 30 to 40 percent of Saudi Arabia's oil produc-
tion overland to the Mediterranean. More than three years
of intermittent negotiations between the company and these
governments and Saudi Arabia have resulted in almost no
progress.
Collectively, the Arab demands exceed the pipeline's
total profits, and thus far the Arabs have shown no inclina-
tion to reduce their demands. Last fall the company, con-
fronted with a UAR ultimatum, began to consider the possi-
bility of shutting down. The UAR temporarily withdrew its
ultimatum, however, when Tapline argued that Saudi demands
against the company had to be settled first. Little has devel-
oped since then in company talks with the Saudi Government,
which still is pressing a claim for some $300,000,000. The
Saudis want a 50-percent share in the pipeline's profits.
Negotiations probably will resume later this month. Unless
Arab demands�especially the Saudi claim--are scaled down
sharply, a new crisis probably will develop.
