Japan: Zengakuren, the militant Communist-dominated
Japanese university students' organization, plans to force an
entry to the Diet grounds during demonstrations scheduled
for 10 December throughout Japan against the US-Japanese
Security Treaty. The Socialist party has appealed to the "Peo-
ple's Council" sponsoring the campaign to exclude the student
tt organization, but the students have announced they will "go it
U, alone" if necessary, defying both the sponsoring Council and
the police. Violence is possible, as police plan to use barri-
cades and nightsticks to protect the Diet grounds. The govern-
ment appears able and determined to handle the immediate
situation; it continues to move cautiously in exploiting public
opinion which is building up in favor of curbing leftist extrem-
ism.

Arab States - Israel: The UAR has requested an emer-
gency session of the Arab League Council to develop plans to
"foil" unilateral Israeli projects for utilization of Jordan River
waters, The Cairo press reports that the Arabs will protest
0 K to the UN over "Israeli violation of UN resolutions and Arab
4 L, rights." These moves augment Nasir's formation of a technical
committee to study measures for preventing waters originat-
� ing in Syria from becoming available to Israel. An Arab r) di-

percent of the Jordan River's water originates in Israel, but
it would probably be uneconomical and encounter intra-Arab
political problems. (Page 2) (Map)
Saudi Arabia: he continuing dispute with Aramco and
Tapline over profit-haring, by delaying production increase
has probably cost Saudi Arabia its position as second largest
oil producer in the Middle East. Saudi crude oil is moving
through Tapline to the Mediterranean at less than half of full
capacity, and over-all Saudi oil production has not increased
appreciably over 1956 levels. Production in adjoining states
has increased substantially, and Iran now holds second place
behind Kuwait. By spring Iraq also may surpass Saudi produd-
ton?

solution of Saudi claims,
unless agreement is reaimea by zi February when parliamen
meets, Nasir will be forced to take a strong public 'position

Chinese Communist Views on International Developments
Chinese Communist Foreign Minister Chen Yi recently told
Japanese Liberal-Democratic party adviser Matsumura that
Peiping had "accepted the results" of the Eisenhower-Khrushchev
talks, "but only after giving Khrushchev certain conditions which
had to be met." Matsumura refused to reveal these conditions,
but their nature is reflected in Peiping's reluctance to moderate
its propaganda attacks against the US or to accept the apparent
Soviet view that the period of "peaceful coexistence" requires
a relative reduction of "struggle" tactics. The Chinese appar-
ently are willing to back Khrushchev's policies only on a few is-
sues. They accept the propaganda call for "complete disarma-
ment," they have dropped any mention of the use of force to "lib-
erate" Taiwan, and they feel that a meeting at the summit
cannot be avoided.
Premier Chou En-lai told Matsumura--who had suggested
that Communism and the free world have many similarities and
can coexist--that he sincerely believed "capit,tliJrn and Commu-
nism can never coexist."
On the matter of United Nations membership for the Peiping
regime, Chen Yi became "very agitated" and stated if Japan
would not make an effort to help (China enter the UN, it should
"shut up and stop trying to prevent" Chinese Communist entry.
Chen's bitter criticism on this point gave Matsumura the impres-
sion that the Chinese leaders want UN membership "as soon as
possible."
The Chinese leaders indicated that they will make an all-
out effort to arouse opposition to Kishi or to force a change in
his "wait and see" policy toward China. They made it clear that
current efforts to isolate Kishi would be based on invitations to
all party members "except Kishi's group" and on a continuation
of the trade embargo until the Japanese prime minister "changes
his present attitude." The Chinese displayed considerable anxiety
over the revised US-Japanese Security Treaty,. Chou En-lai
claimed that the treaty is a "great threat to China" and is an
even greater concern than Taiwan to Peiping.

Arab Concern Over Israeli Jordan River Projects
The equitable development and use of Jordan River wa-
ters, long a political problem in the Middle East, is again
becoming a prominent issue in Arab-Israeli relations. The
UAR has requested an emergency session of the Arab League
Council to discuss unilateral Israeli plans for diverting wa-
ters of the Jordan, and the Cairo press reports that Arab
countries willprateStto the UN against "Israeli violation of
UN resolutions and Arab rights." Nasir has taken the initia-
tive in this matter probably in order to demonstrate anew
his leadership of the Arab cause against Israel. There are
no UN resolutions on the question of Jordan water rights.
Nasir has already formed a technical committee which
will study ways of utilizing Jordan waters before they leave
Arab territory, thereby depriving Israel of access to them.
cost is to be disregarded. The committee is to report
by 15 December,
An Arab diversion scheme, although likely to be uneconom-
ical, might be technically feasible. About 77 percent of the
river's waters originate in Israel's neighboring Arab states.
Israel's water supply could be re-
percen owever, there probably would be diffi-
culty in obtaining agreement among riparian Arab states on
details of the project. Lebanon, the UAR (Syria), and. Jordan
are the Arab states concerned, and Jordan Itself is interested
in downstream utilization of the waters. Moreover, Jordan,
with US assistance, is going ahead with its East Ghor canal
irrigation project which will depend on water from the Yarmuk
River, the Jordan River's only tributary.
The 8-10 year Israeli scheme to which the Arabs object
would eventually divert Jordan River waters for irrigation of

Israel to pump water out of Lake Tiberias, into which the
