DAILY BRIEF
I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
USSR: In deciding to break off the disarmament talks at this
time, Moscow may have calculated that the modified Western
plan, scheduled for presentation this week, would undercut
Soviet attempts to portray the West as opposed to any program
for general disarmament. The Soviet Government may have
been concerned that the Western plan would lead to prolonged
negotiations and make it more difficult to maintain Moscow's
pose as the sole champion of complete and general disarmament
when the issue is debated before the UN this fall.
(Pagel)
Communist China - USSR: Despite the opportunities for private
talks and compromise at 13ucharest, the exchange of polemics between
Khrushchev and the Chinese Communists has continued. Peiping on
25 June implicitly charged Moscow with exaggerating the destructive-
ness of nuclear war and "begging imperialism for peace at any cost."
Khrushchev on the same day declared at a Bucharest reception that
he cbuld be put "in a strait jacket" if he were to advocate a war in
which "half will die and half survive." However, a newspaper ar-
ticle by a Chinese official�broadcast by Peiping on 26 June--gives
what may be a hint of a Chinese Communist effort to lessen the de-
gree of public quarreling. Although the article states that China is
willing to coexist peacefully "even with imperialism, "the line taken
in the article does not represent any substantive change in Peiping's
views but may get increasing propaganda emphasis in order to reduce
Western speculation about Sino-Soviet discord and to allay neutralist
fears of Chinese intentions.
*The foregoing was prepared prior to Moscow's release yester-
day evening of a communiqu�igned at Bucharest by representatives

of all the bloc Communist parties. The communiqu�reported
as signed on 24 June, reaffirms support for the "Declaration and
Manifesto of Peace" adopted by the bloc parties in November
1957 at the USSR's 40th anniversary celebrations. In recent weeks
Moscow and Peiping have each cited the 1957 Declaration to sup-
port its own position on issues in dispute. To assess the full
significance of this latest development in Sino-Soviet relations will
require further study, and we will comment further on the B
�nd related developments in toniorrow's issue.
IL ASIA-AFRICA
Zanzibar: A leftist; trend among Arab and African nation-
alists in the British protectorate of Zanzibar may lead to
demonstrations against US space-tracking installations under
construction there. British officials report that leftist senti-
ment has been fanned by bloc propaganda in the wake of the
U-2 incident, and that a major demonstration against the US
Installations is planned for 10 July. The American Consulate
In Tanganyika reports that Communist China has lately stepped
up propaganda directed to Zanzibar. (Page 2)3
UAR,-Syria: A bread riot in Damascus on 21 June, quelled by
troops, is the first overt reflection of the widespread discontent
among the Syrian lower classes which has been brought to a focus
by drought and the worsening economic situation and blamed on
Egyptian domination of the country. Several recent reports now
uggest that antagonism toward Cairo's control among all classes--
andowners, peasants, army officers, and commercial circles--
as reached a point where general anti-Egyptian demonstrations
ould break out:3 There is no sign vet however, of any organized
ffort to split the UAR. ) (Page 3)

[II. THE WEST
West Germany: Adenauer has reportedly ordered his Chris-
tian Beimocratic Union (CDU) leaders to conduct an all-out attack
on the opposition Social Democratic party during the Bundestag%
30 June debate on foreign policy. Adenauer, who has already re-
buffed Socialist overtures for a bipartisan foreign policy, seeks to
provoke admissions useful to the CDU in the 1961 election. The
CDU will avoid emphasis on Berlin in order to minimize the role
of Mayor Brandt, who is expected to be the Socialist candidate for
chancellor. (Page 4) j
Austria; The government has indicated to the American Em-
boss-37115FR is considering the purchase of MIG-17 aircraft from
Poland. The foreign minister implied his approval of the move,
saying he wanted to improve trade and general relations with Po-
land. Defense Minister Graf has said he will defer action until
next fall in an attempt to avoid any apparent connection with Khru-
shchev's 30 June - 8 July visit. (Page 5)

Moscow Breaks Off Disarmament Negotiations
The main factor in Moscow's decision to break off the dis-
armament talks in Geneva before the West could present its
revised proposals may have been the calculation that the West-
ern move would entail prolonged negotiations which would un-
dercut the Soviet effort to portray the West as opposed to any
program \for:total,disarmament
Soviet tactics since the publication of the 2 June revisions
of Khrushchev's plan have been aimed at establishing a record of
Western opposition in anticipation of a disarmament debate when
the UN reconvenes this fall. In the covering letter transmitting
the proposal to the West, IChrushchev established this theme by
asserting that the West was not prepared to implement the plan.
In his closing remarks at Geneva, Soviet delegate Zorin declared
that the Western powers had refused to work out a disarmament
program and had reduced the negotiations to an "arid discussion
of control."
While Soviet statements and actions had clearly foreshadowed
an eventual breakoff in the negotiations, the timing of the move
also reflects increased Soviet readiness to adopt a more negative
attitude on specific issues following the collapse of the summit
and to accept probable adverse free-world reactions.
conversation with the chief American delegate to
the nuclear test talks, Soviet delegate Tsarapkin expressed "ex-
treme skepticism" as to US intentions to conclude a test ban agree-
ment. He is apparently under instructions to table proposals on
each outstanding issue, probably as a prelude to insisting that the
West commit itself on the duration of the moratorium on small
underground tests or agree to a long recess. Tsarapkin created
the impression that the Soviet Government has strong doubts that
anything will be accomplished until a new administration takes
office in Washington "and possibly not even then"

/I Leftist Agitation in Zanzibar
A leftist trend among Arab and African nationalists in
the British protectorate of Zanzibar may lead to demonstra-
tions against US space-tracking installations under construc-
tion there. British officials report that leftist sentiment has
been fanned by bloc propaganda since the 13-2 incident, and
that a major demonstration against the US installations is
planned for 10 July. The Zanzibar Nationalist party (ZNP)- -
the leading party among Zanzibar's population of 300, 000--
held public meetings in mid-June to protest the agreement
which permitted the construction of tracking stations there.1
The anti-US manifestations coincided with evidence of
increased Chinese Communist activity in the protectorate.
The American Consulate in Tanganyika observed on 17 June
that Peiping was sending "considerable" propaganda material
to Zanzibar, and that its broadcasts emphasized the "military
dangers" to Africa of "bases" such as the US tracking stations.
Peiping has also sponsored trips to China for at least 15
Zanzibar Arabs.
,,Although the ZN1? leadership is Communist inclined, its
campaign against th.eba-ses reflects in part the stresses of
the local political scene. A UK commission has responded
to recent nationalist agitation with a series of proposals de-
signed to make Zanzibar, like Singapore, internally self-gov-
erning. The current agitation appears directed in part by a
desire to manufacture issues for elections expected to be
held in the fall.

Syrian Resentment of UAR Near Danger Point
A riot in Damascus on 21 June protesting the lack of cheap
bread is the first overt reflection of widespread discontent among
the Syrian lower classes which has been brought to a focus by
drought and the worsening economic situation and blamed on Egyp-
tian domination. One person was killed when troops were called
in, and suppression of any mention of the incident in the press has
resulted in exaggerated rumors which are spreading rapidly. There
were open complaints during the incident concerning the money be-
ing spent on Nasir's political organization, the National Union, at
a time when Syria is suffering from a serious wheat shortage.
LSeveral reports indicate that antagonism toward Cairo's con-
trol exists among all classes of the Syrian populace- -landowners,
peasants, the army, commercial and white-collar classes, Com-
munists, and anti-Communists�and that it has reached the point
where anti- Egyptian rioting could easily break out. While there is
considerable resentment over Egyptian domination in the adminis-
tration and army as such, much of the present unrest stems from
the poor economic conditions that followed the Syrian-Egyptian un-
ion to form the UAR in 1958. Crop failures, import restrictions,
the threat of nationalization, and the lack of foreign exchange have
all contributed to the alienation of every major section of Syrian
society.
LSuppression of anil-Egyptiam demonstrations by Cairo-controlled
security forces could lead to a general strike throughout Syria�sev-
� eral of which in the past have paralyzed nearly all activity and per-
haps the assassination of a prominent UAR or pro-UAR figure such
as Vice President Marshal Amir or the much-hated Minister of
Interior Sarraj. It is doubtful that there is any group or party in
Syria with the strength and organization to overthrow the Nasir re-
gime there. However, although the Egyptians control the armed
forces, it is questionable whether Syrian troops would obey the
orders of Egyptian or pro-Egyptian officers to fire on Syrian crowds.

Adenauer Plans All-Out Attack on Socialists
West German Chancellor Adenauer reportedly plans an
all-out attack on' the opposition Social Democratic party (SPD)
during the Bundestag foreign policy debate on 30 June in an effort
to provoke admissions useful to the Christian Democratic Union
(CDU) cause in the 1961 national elections. The attack will be
led by Foreign Minister von Brentano and Defense Minister Strauss,
who will stress the SPDis opposition to NATO and the party's neu-
tralist "Germany plan," but will avoid emphasis on Berlin in order
to keep West Berlin Mayor Brandt--who is expected to be the SPD
candidate for chancellor in 1961�out of the limelight.
I The CDU may also attempt to draw a parallel between the
SPD and the Japanese Socialists by charging that the party is in-
filtrated by Communists and by playing up the Communist past of
Deputy Chairman Herbert Wehner.
(Realizing their vulnerability on foreign policy, the SPD lead-
ers have called repeatedly since the summit collapse for a re-
examination of foreign policy by both the CDU and the SPD in an
endeavor to find areas of common agreement, such as Berlin.
Brandt has stated that the SPD should avoid overdrama-
tizing the present situation and remain as unobtrusive as possible.
While convinced that Adenauer's policy on German reunification
is wrong and harmful to Berlin, he cautions against saying so pub-
licly since "people simply won't believe it." He also warned, how-
ever, that the SPD must not change its basic foreign policy stand
lest it lose five million votes won in 1957 on the basis of the par-
ty's alternative to Adenauer's policy.

Austria Considers Purchase of MIG-17 Aircraft From Poland
Defense Minister Graf h s indicated to the US Embassy
in Vienna that he is considering the purchase of MIG-17 air-
craft from Poland. Foreign Minister Kreisky and Trade Min-
ister Bock are reported as supporting this project out of a
desire to improve trade and general relations with Poland.
Graf, however, has said he will make no move until fall in
an attempt to avoid giving the appearance of a connection be-
tween the purchase and Khrushchev's visit, 30 June - 8 July.
Austria, which likes to make occasional gestures in sup-
port of its professed neutrality under the 1955 state treaty,
has in the past obtained some military equipment from the
bloc--notably tanks from the USSR and light training aircraft
from Czechoslovakia. The Austrian Air Force, with 80 air-
craft, has practically no comb t cap bility. Poland has sold
MIG-17s to Indonesia, Iraq, and the UAR.
There is a widespread belief within the Austrian business
community and in highest government circles that bloc trade
could be increased to 20-25 percent of total trade without sub-
jecting Austria to serious bloc pressure or endangering its
independence. In 1959 bloc trade constituted about 11.5 per-
cent of total Austrian imports and 14.8 percent of total ex-
ports, andAustrian hope to increase this substantially in
1960-61.
