4. PATHET LAO NEGOTIATORS ARRIVE IN VIENTIANE
25X1A
Pathet Lao representatives arrived in
Vientiane on 18 September for meetings
of mixed political and military commis-
sions to negotiate the details of a settle-
ment with the royal government. These
meetings are expected to begin within the 'next few days.
Comment In view of Pathet stalling on negotiations,
a speedy settlement appears unlikely.
In any event, the chief government negotiator has been in-
structed to refer all matters of major disagreement to Prime
Minister Souvanna Phouma, who will not return from France

area during the period. 25X1 A
20 At the Eighth Congress of the Chinese Communist
Party meeting in Peiping, comparatively limited attention was
given to Taiwan, with speakers merely restating the Chinese
Communist position on the issue. While emphasizing the theme
of "peaceful liberation;" Liu Shao-chi, the ranking Chinese Com-
munist after Mao Tse-tung, asserted that Peiping would not hes-
itate to use force against Taiwan "when all possibilities for
peaceful negotiations have been exhausted or when peaceful ne-
gotiations have failed:'
