DAILY BRIEF
I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
*USSR: In his press conference remarks in Djakarta
on 29 February Premier Khrushchev again carefully avoided
directly linking his threat to sign a separate peace treaty
with East Germany to the results of the May summit confer-
ence. He stressed that a series of summit conferences would
be necessary to solve international problems and expressed
his expectation that the first meeting would make a good start
toward this end. In an effort to appear responsive to Sukarno's
appeal for Asian-African participation at future summit confer-
ences, the joint communique expressed the hope that these meet-
ings would be attended by other countries, including Asian and
African states not members of alliances. In reply to a question
at his press conference concerning Chinese Communist partici-
pation in a summit, Khrushchev stated that not only China but
II. ASIA.-AFRICA
UAR-Israel: UAR and Israeli armed forces apparently
remain on partial alert, but the concern over hostilities ap-
pears to have abated somewhat on both sides. Many of the
5,000 Isr,Aeli reserves called up last week now have been re-
leased. WAR. Foreign Affairs Under Secretary Ghalib informe
the American Embassy on 28 February that "certain military
units had been pulled back," presumably from the Sinai. This
has not as yet been confirmed by American observers.] UAR
and Israeli officials are continuing to make public
statements denying any aggressive intentions. Prime Minis-
ter Ben-Gurion is still scheduled to visit the US beginning on
8 March. {Tilted Nations Secretary General Hammarskjold has
sounded out UAR and Israeli representatives in New York on the
possibility of his making a personal

Japan - South Korea: @overnmental and public opinion in
favor of retaliatory measures against South Korea is rapidly
growing as a result of Seoul's duplicity in negotiations for the
return of Japanese fishermen. Ambassador MacArthur be-
lieves that Kishi will be forced to take countermeasures agains
Seoul's "piracy" and "hostage diplomacy" to avoid a storm of
public protest. A top Japanese Foreign Ministry official has
indicated that the Korean diplomatic mission might soon be ex-
pelled from Tokyo and all relations terminated and that subse-
auentiv trade relations would be developed with North KoreaD
� Burma-India: U Nu who takes over again as Burmese
prime minister in AjEril, will visit New Delhi in early March,
reportedly at Prime Minister Nehru's request. Nehru prob-
ably is interested in getting an informed report on the recently
concluded Sino-Burmese border negotiations prior to his own
meeting with Chou En-Lai in April. A meeting between Nehru
and IT Nu, who have long been close, would also provide an op-
portunity to coordinate Indian-Burmese views on current inter-
national issuesi
--CypriaTegotia ions 'on Cyprus designed to remove the
less controversial differences between the British and Cypriots
are progressing satisfactorily. Difficulties will again be en-
countered when the negotiators come to the principal issue of
the size of future British military bases. Archbishop Makarios
has achieved new prestige among the Cypriots as a result of his
tough stand on the bases thus far,, but he now is coming under in-
creased pressure from the business community to reach a settle-
ment. London may make minor concessions on the size of the
bases in order to conclude the agreement,, but it insists that mil-
itary needs prevent the major reductions demanded by the Cyp-
riots,23 (Page 1)

Cyprus Negotiations
Etecently renewed talks on Cyprus between Cypriot lead-
ers and a representative of the British Colonial Office are
proceeding satisfactorily, but only the less controversial is-
sues have thus far been discussed. An agreement apparently
has been reached on training facilities outside the military
base areas which will be retained by the British after inde-
pendence. Questions regarding administration and finance
remain, however, and no attempt has yet been made to solve
the all-important question of the size of the British basesg
the British have publicly announced that they will continue
to demand 120 square miles for the military bases and have
warned privately that only minor concessions can be made. While
Archbishop Makarios has never publicly altered his insistence
on a maximum of 36 square miles, he has indicated that a com-
promise placing 80 square miles under British sovereignty--
with "special facilities" in the remaining 40--would be accept-
able. Cypriot officials have privately stated that an eventual
compromise at about 100 square miles may be possibli
Makariost prestige among the Cypriots remains
high because of his firm opposition to the British demands. Un-
employment and economic uncertainty, however, are causing
the business community on the island to urge Makarios to reach
an early settlement. Greek Cypriot leaders are also aware that
continued delay or failure of the negotiations could damage, if
not destroy, the unity recently displayed by Greek and Turkish
Cypriots.�[
