DAILY BRIEF
I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
*USSR: In a hard-hitting criticism of Peiping's opposition to
his policy of international detente, Khrushchev focused the for-
eign policy section of his Rumanian party congress speech on a
reaffirmation of the Soviet position. Pointedly claiming that only
"madmen and maniacs" can speak of anew world war, Khrushchev
warned that even a local war might grow into a major conflict, and
that the way to prevent war is through "peaceful coexistence." He
attacked the Chinese by implication for not sharing the USSR's con-
fidence that the growing strength of the Communist bloc will turn
r the world Communist without resort to war. Reflecting continued
Soviet sensitivity to the U-2 overflights, Khrushchev went to some
lengths to assure his audience that these flights had in no way com-
promised the USSR's military posture. Khrushchev repeated his
post-summit indictment of American policy and again in effect took
the position that he has severed relations with the present admin-
istration.

IL ASIA-AFRICA
Libya: The Libyan prime minister, in economic aid negotia-
tions with the US ambassador, has referred to growing anti-base
sentiment on the part of parliament and the press and has suggested
L that even if US aid is increased he will need additional concessions
to satisfy his critics--such as assurances that no atomic bombs or
"es ion e" aircraft will be stationed at Wheelus.

Cameroun: The security situation in Douala, Cameroun's prin-
- cipal port and commercial center, has deteriorated as a result of
r- stepped-up terrorist activities by extremist elements opposed to the
moderate Ahidjo regime. A marked increase in attacks against
members of the city's commercially important European community
-0"- suggests that the terrorists, apparently well organized, are trying

cial. strife. (Page. 2)
III. THE WEST
Finland: President Kekkonen told Ambassador Sessions on
20 Jui-Te�trai the formation of a majority government in Finland
is "virtually assured." Prime Minister Sukselainen apparently
has reached a tentative agreement with various party leaders to
form a center government which will exclude both the Communist
front SKDL and the regular Social Democrats. The new govern-
ment's most immediate task reportedly will be to seek to associate
Finland with the European Free Trade Association and to negotiate
with the Soviet Union on the most-favored-nation question.

L New Libyan Press Attack on Wheelus Air Base
Prime Minister Kubar, in economic aid negotiations with. the
0-ambassador, has referred to_growlng-sentimentagainst Wheelus
Air Base on the part of the Libyan parliament and press. He
has suggested that even if US aid is increased, he will need
additional concessions to satisfy his critics. Although he
initially requested a joint review of the entire base agree-
ment, Kubar has been fairly receptive to the idea of issuing
a joint Libyan-American communiqu� stating that sucha re-
view has been undertaken and that some procedural adjust-
ments have been agreed to. He has made it clear, however,
that he would like such a communiqu�o contain American
assurances that no atomic bombs or "espionage" aircraft
will be stationed at Wheelus, as well as to provide for a joint
Libyan-American commission to consider problems and com-
plaints relating to base operations.
The weekly Tripoli newspaper Al Ra'id has attacked the
American base agreement with Libya as 'a "deed of slavery"
and rhetorically proclaimed, "Go out of our country, you en-
emies of liberty and peace," This, the second such att ck in
the Libyan press in the past three weeks, -quoted press service
accounts of a recent bilbscow propaganda broadcast, including
Soviet threats of retaliation against American bases in the
event of war and Soviet allegations that the US is using Middle
East bases to obtain espionage data on the Arab states which
is then turned over to Israel.
While the Libyan Government does exercise considerable
control over the press, it does not typically monitor news-
paper issues in advance of publication. On occasion, it has
suspended a paper and Jailed or fined its editor; usually, how-
ever, this has followed an attack on the government itself or
on some key government policy.

Cameroun Terrorists Step -Up Attacks in Douala
Extremist elements opposed to the moderate regime of
President Ahidjo�presumably adherents of Felix Moumies far
left wing of the Union of the Cameroun Populations have re-
cently increased the scope and boldness of their terrorist at-
tacks in Douala, Cameroun's largest city, and commercial cen-
ter. Such attacks had been frequent for some time, but until
recently they seldom involved members of the European commu-
nity and were usually conducted under cover of darkness. Since
31 May, however, at least four incidents--three of which re-
sulted in European fatalities �have occurred in daylight in the
center of the city. About a third of the approximately 15,000
whites in Cameroun, most of whom are French nationals, live
in Douala.
The terrorists, who seem to be well organized and may be
receiving direction from local Communist elements, appear to
be attempting to disrupt the country's economy by forcing the
Europeans to close down their enterprises, on which Cameroun
depends heavily. The extremists may also hope to foment racial
strife by provoking a violent reaction among the less responsible
whites. The Europeans are becoming increasingly apprehensive
and angry; last week French authorities had difficulty restraining
elements which were threatening to take the law into their own hands.
Cameroun officials, who have been pressing the US, Britain,
and West Germany for military assistance now provided exclusively
by France, claim that the new wave of terrorism constitutes a major
"penetration" effort by the Sino-Soviet bloc and that some of the
terrorists now operating in Cameroun have been trained in bloc COM=
tries. So far, however, there is no evidence available to support these
charges, although Moumie and his associates have frequently visited
bloc countries and are believed to have obtained at least some finan-
cial support from such sources.-

Formation of of Majority Government Expected in
Finland Shortly
President Kekkonen told Ambassador Sessions on 20
June that the formation of a majority government in Finland
is "virtually assured." Agrarian Prime Minister Sukselainen
has apparently agreed with various party leaders to form a
center government which will exclude both the Communist-
front SKDL and the regular Social Democrats. The Agr ria.ns
reportedly intend to retain four cabinet posts and give four
to the dissident faction (Skogists) of the Social Democrats,
three to the Conservatives, and the remainder to the minor
parties.
This termination of an 18-month impasse appears to have
developed largely as a result of maneuvering by Kekkonen, who
reportedly is anxious to lay the groundwork for his re-election
in 1962. There has also been pressure by business and in-
dustrial groups that are convinced that Finland must be associ-
ated with the European Free Trade Association (EFTA). Kekkonen
has exploited this factor to persuade the Conservatives to abandon
their tactical alliance with the regular Social Democrats. The
expected inclusion of the Skogist Social Democrats appe rs to
be a maneuver designed to weaken the regular Social Democratic
party organization and points to a prolonged period of dissension
within Finnish labor.
As far as is known, Moscow has not expressly warned Fin-
land against joining the EFTA, but the Finns have carefully con-
sidered probable Soviet reaction to such association. The new
government's first move may be a bill requesting parliamentary
authorization to make the necessary economic arrangements
covering association with EFTA. After the passage of such
legislation, negotiations will probably begin with Moscow re-
garding most-favored-nation treatment--i. e., equal tariff re-
ductions for the Soviet Union. The Finns apparently believe
that their primary problem is to convince Moscow that Finnish-
Soviet relations will not be adversely affected by Finland's
association with EFTA.
