Cuba: There are further straws in the wind
suggesting tha something may be brewing within the
Cuban leadership, possibly a major political decision.

17 December, the Havana newspaper Revolution
card the full text of the 15 December Peiping's
People's Daily editorial, the most explicitly anti-
Soviet statement yet published in Communist China.
In the Sino-Soviet bloc, only North Korean and Al-
banian papers have reprinted the Chinese statement.
It almost certainly could not have been reprinted in
Havana without Fidel Castro's approval. A Western
observer in Havana has commented that Revolucion
reflected Castro's views more faithfully during the
speech since 1 November.

USSR-Congo: Soviet UN representatives have
told UN Secretary neral U Thant that if US aid to
the UN Congo operation is accepted, Soviet military
aid should also be accepted. By this tactic the USSR
is apparently attemptir, to block UN acceptance of
US military assistance.
Soviet propaganda has called the forthcoming US
military mission to the Congo an attempt to strengthen
American influence in that country and an effort to
assure a political solution favorable to US interests.
(M scow has consistently opposed the UN Congo
operation. The USSR probably hopes that continued
UN failure to end the Katanga secession will lead to
replacement of the pro-West Adoula government by
a radical regime more willing to terminate the UN
operation and to rely on Sovie military and economic
assistance to unify the country)
Th Adoula government is planning to open a
diplomatic mission in Moscow early next year. The
USSR re-established its embassy in Leopoldville
shortly after the formation of the Adoula government,
but this will be the first Congolese mission in Moscow.
Adoula has probably been under pressure from Moscow
to establish a mission. He also probably hopes to
mollify his opponents, and at the same tim to impress
upon the US the urgency of his need for help.

Finland-USSR:Fiinland has decided to go through
with the purchase of modern Soviet jet fighter air-
craft equipped with weapons proscribed by the 1947
peace treaty.
(All the signatories to the treaty, except Canada,
have agreed to reinterpret it so that Finland may have
such weapons.
Since 1960 Finland has arranged to purchase some
Soviet military equipment.

violence at the US-owned Cerro de Pasco mine in
La Oroya.
One of the three Cubans has also been active in
promoting the seizure of ranchland in the Peruvian
highlands by Andean Indians. Communist-led Indians
were said to have planned to synchronize a major
new seizure campaign with the violence against Cerro
de Pasco. No such incidents have been reported yet.
