I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
Peiping Asks Djakarta for Formal Agreement on
Chinese Repatriation
Peiping's Foreign. Minister Chen Yi complained in a let-
ter to Djakarta on 15 March that many Chinese in Indonesia
who desire repatriation. to the mainland. have been subjected
to delay in travel and unnecessary restrictions on the amount
of money and belongings they may take out of Indonesia. He
said he doubted that such difficulties are "intended by the lead-
ers of the Indonesian Government," but he requested the con-
elusion of a six-point agreement which would include Indonesian
.compensation for financial losses and provision of "shipping
facilities" for the return of Chinese to the mainland.
Chinese Communist. Ambassador Huang Chen has appar-
ently been pressing. Djakarta privately along these lines. The
public request for a formal agreement is probably intended to
bring additional pressure on the Indonesian Government and
prove to the Chinese in Indonesia that China is still actively en-
gaged in promoting their welfare. Having secured an initial
propaganda gain in the repatriation of some 6,000 Chinese,
Peiping is probably anxious to have Djakarta. share in the cost
of further repatriations.
Although Indonesia can be expected to resist the negotiation
of a formal agreement on the procedures for repatriation, it
may reduce the harassment and speed the departure of return-
ing Chinese.

Algerian Rebel Diplomatic Offensive

lish diplomatic missions in friendly countries will include
the development of the "closest possible relations" with
Communist China, Al- 25X1
though the. Algerians are wary of Communist efforts to in-
filtrate their movement, they appear impressed by. Peiping's
potential as a source of funds and possibly of materiel.
CCommunist China will welcome closer contacts with the
rebels and probably will attempt to increase Chinese influ-
ence among the more extreme elements in the FLN. The
Chinese have encouraged continued Algerian resistance and
recently cited the Algerian war as an example "of vital sig-
nificance in. the African people's fight for independence."
Peiping views this "fight" as a desirable means both for.
weakening "colonial powers" and for enhancing Communist
China's reputation as champion of nationalist independence
movements
[The rebel. "diplomatic offensive" will reportedly empha-
size the North African and Islamic character of the Algerian
independence movement. The rebels want to demonstrate
their willingness to continue the war in the wake of De Gaulle's
recent emphasis on pacification, and they appear to view

Although the Algerians plan to send a mission to the
USSR and are "considering" the appointment of an ambas-
sador there, Moscow is unlikely to change its policy of lim-
