present disarm anent ne;otiations. But even tho~?gh the Soviets
have accey~ted the concept .~f effective inspection, they still
seem re],uctant to deal with its pr~lctical execution. phis has
become cle~.r in deliberation within the so-called 1~ Nation
Uisarmame:~t ~^~nference (actually 17-nation, since ~'r~.nce re-
fused to tat~e its se~.t) which began in March 1~6~.
In the cruci~:l issuw of iaspecti:~n, which teas been a
big stumi~ling-block ^11 a~:ong, the k~urden of justifying their
position lies with ttxe S~~?rxets, especially since they dem-;n-
25X1C10b
strated their willingness to conceal arms in ~~uba. (See
Y~:t the history of test
an an genera sabmam^n neg:> i~.ti-ins atlor~s on the Soviet
side no rwa.soned ex~y~.ana~:ions, no wi.llin;ness t^ discuss
scientific data, no readiness to compr-~mise, a 1-~ng succession
of meaningless pseue'.o-cc~rcessions, retractions of offers pre-
viously mar.~e, and i~olitic~.l acts designed to hinF~er negotia-
tion, including the sude~e~a rupture of negoti~,t~lon itself. T:~
the Soviets, "disarrnafnent" see:~.s to mean either pro,~~aganda
or the surrender of the o;~poncr~t, not any negotiated settle-
ment .
~e have lately witnesseca two further Soviet moves of the
same nature. Gn 19 Decer~wer, Khrushchev sent President Kennedy
a letter offering once again three on-site inspections in the
USSI1. President Ke~az~edy's rep?y (2?~ IDecenbet?) stated his own
hope that the ti:S reducti~an from 12-~:m t~o ~~-1~D would be matched
by an egt~ivale-~~: So~siet rise from ~;k~eir l.~~J figure of three.
This Kennedy letter and a second K~1~?azstscc~e:v le :ter of '~ January
I8S3 arranged for darect negotiati-~a~s, .which began %~n ).~ January
and were carried on in b~~th New York and t"dashingt3n. the ex-
change ~f letters euas published on ~0 January.
The Soviets sent "negotiators" wh:a refused to negotiate,
rigidly clinging to their original number---a number which
President i~ennedy had n:~ted in his letter Baas n:~t enough . The
Soviets also refused to d~.scuss crucial problF,=ns of the insr~ec-
tion machinery, such as tt~e role of the international scien-
tific comrzis8i7n, the maz~ing of the decision to inspect, the
cor;~positi~n and operation of the inspection teams, and the
area t~~ be inspected. To improve the negotiatin~f atmosphere,
President Kennedy announced on 26 January that underr~und
tests in Nevada would be halted for the duration of the New
York-~,1ashi:~gton talks. But to no avail. The Soviets stated
later that on 29 January, the chief US negotiator, Vdil~iam C.
Fester, asked the Soviet dipl~smats why they had came all the
way across the ocean if they h~.d nothing further to offer.
They chose to cnnsider this aYleged statement an affront, but
the fact rema~.ns that the Savicts adopted a "take it or leave
it" position, and when the US refused to accept their terms
unamended, the Soviets broke off negotiations on 31 January.
Ina 15 February speech in Geneva, Kuznetsov firmly maintained
the Soviet position on inspection, saying: "Now it is the turn

of the United S$ates." S:~viet propaganda claims that the S~3viet
Uni~~n has met thQ ~JS halfway--~,s th :augh three was half~ray bey
tween three and ~~D, the respective figures in 1~~?. A,nc~ dra-
spite the clarification in YennQdy's letter, they continue t~
maintain that the US is c~ithdraw~.ng fr~rn previous assurances
that ~-3 inspect~c~ns would be enough.
The other recent move in S~~v~.et disarmament dipl?macy
was the proposal, made at the reopening of the 1~-Nation meet-
ings in d~en~ava on ~~ February, t~ liquidate all f:~reign lases
for nuclear rocP~et submarines, aircraft carriers, strategic
rockets, an^1 strategic bombers. This suggestion his long been
a staple item in aoviet ~l~c disarmament plans, and while the
US believes that within a general and complete disarm~:ment
program all 'uses--foreign and do~aestic--should eventuaXly be
disbanded, it is firmly opposed to this S~~viet propos~.l which
would s~rift'~y upset the present military balance be$ween East
F.,,nd t~d'est in favor of the USSR.. The proposal adds new fuel to
the gr:~t~ring S~~viet campaign against polaris submarine lb~ses.
Actua?~ly, these bases are not s~ much a military necessity for
the US (the subs could function quite well from US territory),
as a ;~~olit~.c~.l guarantee of the continuing US c?~mmitment to
N1~.TS~. ~:nd it is such NAT? ties as these that this Saviet
pr:>pa.g~.nc~~, really aims ?~t . No d?~ubt the Moment seemed propi-
ti~us fir the S~~viet pro;~~sal, since there have lately been
fricti:,~na Uetween NAT~J countries. but proposals like this,
so far as they have any influence on ~overnments,will only help
to menu ATAT~J differences. The blatant pr~o~~a~;anda nature of
this u~neyotiable draft declaration indicates once ag~.in that
the Soviets are not see~:ing any agreement, but are only con-
tin~;~ing the struggle against the US by Wither (i.e., non-military)

?5X1C10b 62? ~~' b? IRAN Referendum on Redistribution of Land
DAGKGR?UND: The enormously favorable vote obtained in
the r~~e~e~~i in Iran held by Shah Reza Pahlavi on ~~ J'anuary
may well be expected to lessen, if not to nullify, the impact
of Iranian opposition to land redistribution, fox example, in
the Iranian Majlis, among mullahs and landholders generally
and in the opposition National Front. Although the regime had
succeeded in inti~-idating the opposition to so~~ae extent, the
affirmative vote was startling: ~J.?~ per cent. For the first
time i~~ the history of Iran, women were allowed to vote -- a
r~Aatter of considerable significance despite religious objections;
these votes, however, werE not counted. Appr?val was sought
(anc~ overwhelmingly obtained) Qn six proposals:
1. Redistribution of large landholdings to peasants.
~. Sharing by workers of B~ per cent of the profits of
industry.
3. Nationalization of forests.
~. Distribution of shares in government-owned industry
to reimburse disp?ssessed land lards.
5. broadening of thQ franchise. "
~. Use ?f military draftees to assist in te~.ching
reading and writing in backward areas.
Actions of the regir~ie to ~:nsure the affirmative mote took
several fcr~as : certain selected pppanwnts of the reform were
jailed before the balloting began; secrecy of the ballot was
made difficult, to say the least, by having the negative
ballots colored blue; protest dem?nstrati?ns were 4~~~ervrhelmed
by government-staged prc-reform crowe?s cruising abotA ~, in ?~us-
loads; there were intensive eiisplays ?f rriilitary fo~~ .~~ ~ ~~.~"ing
the balloting tc~ keep order aaad ensure calm. The o~.~;~~~si~~:1on,
plainly, was tey,iporarily demoralized, yet this shou7.ci not be
expected to continue indefinitely. The Shah, who started l~.nd
redistribution s?me years ago, may be regarded, nevertheless,
as having won a great vict?r~. The ATational Front (which
favors land ref?rm but a~.ot under the Shah's auspices) , the
lane lords, the Moslem mullahs, tt~.e parliament (Majlis) when
it meets, et al., may be expected to return to the attack.

instance, may be expected t? claim that the referendum was not
valid because it w~.s done: crithout A~aj lis approval; it wi11
no doubt charge that tI?e Sha~~ pers?nally has profited from
land sold tc~ the pe~.sants and will demand that such profits
be returnQd to the peasant-lanelowners; the rational Fre~nt
may compete with tYae Shah's reforms by offering more to wormers
and peasaa~xts than the Shah can deliver.
Tt:e refc~rns proposed by the Shah in the referendum and
promises of furthe~? refor~as have raised high hopes am?ng the
needy in Iran. 7Chese c?uld well turn to disappointment and
disillusionment in ~. few months, shoulel the gavernr~ent find
its4lf unable to carry out its program. Two of the difficulties
the government is sure t? encounter, for example, are the
complexity of its c~~wan administration and the enormous financial
difficulties with ~=a;~ich it will have to wrestle.
~ curiQUS factor in all this situation has been the :aiffer~
ences in attitude toward the referendum by two of the Soviet
Persian-la~~guage br?adcasting stations, the Caucasus-based
Clandestine "Voice of Iran," and the Voice of the Iranian
(Com~saunist) Tudeh Party from Leipzig, East Germany. The
Y~~.tiGnal Voice of Iran (in the USSR) urged Iranians to partici-
pate i~~a the referendu~a; the Tudeh R~arty (in East Europe) just
as strongly reco~~3nencled that it be boycotted. Said the Nation-
al Voice on ~l January:
"The peasants of Iran...will participate in the
referendum ar~d will in a body vote for the elimination
of the pe6~s~,r~.t-landlord system and the death cif tlae
fe>.clalist syatem...~y their united and wide partici-
pation iia tie referendum, the peasants will be able to
name sure ref tl~e succcvs of the results of the refer-
endu?~ and et: to mne~w the feudals and their agents and
prevent tl~era fr?m riggin the ball?t boxes."
?n the other hand, the Tudeh Party (from East Germany) said
three clays l~.ter (on ~~ January} :
,'C?r~ ~5 January the Shah gill imple~-ent his
consr~iracy in the name cf national apprbval....His
real aim is t? gain su;,~port for the illegal actions
of ~:ais bloody tyran:sy....Recent events and the
fran~~ opposition of national forces against this
r~:ferendura ref lest $he public's opinion of the Shah's
conspiracy. Intelligent Iranian people are c~pposeel
to the illegal and tric':~y referenelum....It is the
duty of every patriot to expose t~~e Shah's airois i~~a
tae referendum, to boycott it, and to refrain from
25X1C101~articipatin~; in it."

S2S AF,F~,NE,U~I. Third Afro-Aswan Solidarity ?r~anizatioil
25X1 C10b Can ere~~ce
UACKGR,oUND: (Unclassified background is contained in
Att~,c rnen s~`~`fihe Third Afro-Asian Peoples Solidarity Organiza-
tion (RAPS?) Conference held in Moshi, Tanganyika, from ~ to
11 February has dis?~layed to the world, more clearly perhaps
than ever before, that the Afro-Asian concept is being manipu-
lated by the Communist "bloc" with Indonesia playing a strong
sup?oorting role. The UAFt's influence in AAPSO has definitely
faded into the background, although its role ran the Secretariat
level is still strong. chile lip service was paid to the
"Spirit of Uandung," the Conference trembled on its principles
where the nationaX interests of the main forces behind AAPS?
were involved, i.e. in connection raith the Indian-Chinese
border conflict and the proposed Federation of Malaysia, etc.
The Conference has also provided an insight into the strong
stresses and grovring anta~:~nisms ~rithin the Communist bloc and
bet~~reen nations of Asia and Africa. Asian interests prevailed
over African ones and "solidarity" was more of an enforced,
artyficial concept than a live reality. The Conference lambasted
United States "imperialism" and t~estern "colonialism."
Chicom Propaganda. Predictably, Peking utilized the Con-
ference as a p a orm o press its views against Moscow's on
the best vray to dope arith imperialism and as a forum for con-
veying to the Asian and African states that the C1aR, not the
Soviet Union, is the champion of their interests. Peking seems
to be convinced that there are significant numbers of C?nmmu-
nists a_ud revolutionists in the underdevebped countries to
whor_i its forceful position ("armed struggle") has more appeal
than Moscow's line of peaceful coexistence as an anti-colonial
weapon. The Chinese chief delegate, Liu-Ning-yi derided as
"deceitful nonsense" the Soviet claim that disarmament would
result in significantly increased amounts of aid for the under-
developed countries. The majority of the delegations showed
that they favored the Chinese view by issuing declarations
and appeals which placed far greater emphasis on "active" and
"armed struggle" ("moral and material support to freedom
fighters"; Afro-Asian States to provide military and financial
assistance to achieve the liberation of dependent territories
of Africa during 1~SS) than on a need for disarma~re nt and peace.
S~yiet Prot'za~'anda. The Soviet Union used the meeting to
charge i__nter olio that the European Common Market and American
(5~8. Continued)

colonialism. Soviet delegates distributed a 1~-page p,~mphlet
under the heading ?'The Common MarPiet--a Threat to the Economy
of Afro-Asian Countries.?? The document calls the Common Market's
proposed associate status for African countries "group eolon-
i~.lism" and says "W~.11 Street" dreams of an integrated Europe
incorporated in a '?United Atlantic States" which could serve
as a tool f~~r recolonizing Africa in the interests of American
monc.,polies. The economic committee declared the Common Market
was another expression of ''neo-colonialism" and was aimed at
splitting Afro-Asian solidarity and increasing the economic
difficulties facing these countries. To counter it, the co~a-
~-ittee called for increased Afro-Asian economic ties and ties
with the socialist countries.
"Three-Conti~aent" Conference. The Conference accepted
Castr::~ s nv a on t~o convene a PeopleTs Solidarity Conference
of Asia, Africa, and Latin America in Cuba and it set up a
preparatory committee composed, as the announcement saie~, of
six ?'representative" countries from Africa (Algeria, Guinea,
Morocco, the UAL,, Tanganyika, and South Africa.) and six from
11sia (China, India, Indonesia, Japan, the USSR, and Vietnam),
which will lie joined by six Latin American countries, not yet
named. Thus, a proposition long advocated by the Chinese and
pro-Chinese elements in AAPSO but once resisted by Soviet ele-
ments, ~~toves closer to realization. Indicative of the increased
Chicom voice in AAPSC is that no role appears to have been allot-
ted to the Soviet-controlled World Peace Council (W1?C) in any
~alanning or preparations f~~r the three continent linl~up; here-
tofc~re, the Soviets had insisted that the WPC act as co-sponsor.
Since such a conference gill undoubtedly push a hard, anti-
US line of violence, resistance may yet develop within the
ranl~s of some Soviet--oriented Latin American Communists who
will rese~~eing pressured by Castro and Chinese Co:~~r-unists .
Nevertheless, they will find it difficult
not
to
~;o
along with
the 7roposal. The Conference designated
April
1?
as
a "Day
of Solidarity of Afro-Asian Peoples with Peoples of Latin
America."

25X1C10b
BAC~GRCU~TB: The Malaysia Federation is basically a British
an~1 M~~.y p~Ian lto made a single state out of five ~~utheast
Asi~.n political entities ti~ahich currently have different ata-
tt~ses within the British Comm:~nwe~.lth. The Federatio~i of
Malaya is a fully independent member; Sin~ap~re is internally
self-urovernin~ but its f:~rei~n affairs and defense riini: tries
are still under British control; British Yd:~rth Borne^ anc~
Sarawa~~ are British colonies, and Brunei, an enslave in -arawa~,
is a British protectorate. The pr~,oposed I'e~leration, scheduled
t~:~ become effective S1 Au;;4~.st 153, caould permit Britain to
retain ~.s .much influe?~ce as passible in Southeast Asia., w:~uld
dive Britain continz~eFa access ..to Singapore and in Sezaeral
cJ~uld permit c:~ntinued ~Jdestern military presence in this vital
ar c ~. .
The following; is a summary of some of the issues involved
in the Malaysian Federation proposal:
Indonesia. Indonesia's ~~bjective is t~~ block the f-~rr~a-
ti~o~~~a~alaysia Federation and to install in the Borneo
Territ~~ries a government sym,~athetic to Indonesian aspirations.
iTlti~zately it seeks to incorporate the Borneo Territories as
part of Indonesia. Indonesia, with a population neariai~ 1QD!0
riilli:~n (the fifth or sixth most populous country in the world),
regards the proposed federation as a potential rival capai~le
of thwarting Ind~~nesia's extaansionist ambitions in Southeast
..Asia. SuP~arno has ado~~ted a course -~f action vis-a-vis the
Federati
