 Yemen: The revolutionary regime is beset with
grave internal problems which it apparently hopes to
ease through union with Egypt.
The US Embassy reports that there is growing
,disenchantment with the republican government among
the tribes in. the areas it controls. The regime's
concern over. its financial difficulties and the growth
of Soviet influence, and increasing religious friction
are contributing to an atmosphere of uncertainty and
suspicion. On.26 May, .the government arrested some
80 civilians and military personnel on charges of
plotting.
is
The regime seems to believe union with Egypt is
its only hope. President Sallal, now visiting Cairo,
probably is making a plea for union to Nasir, al-
though Sallal is aware. that Nasir is reluctant to take
on Yemen's problems.

coming incrFasiXigly concerned over continuing
.demonstrations by Buddhists aimed at securing
better treatment from the government, but ap
pears uncertain over what further steps to ta~e).
(Diem seems, 'convinced that his political
enemies are exploiting the religious ferment by
insisting on impossible concessions. Some Bud-
dhist leaders reportedly have threatened to seek
Viet Cong support if necessary to achieve, their
demands ).
Demonstrations during the past several days
.were marked by moderation on the part of both
the government and the Buddhists. However, re-
Ugious spokesmen have stated that their demands
have not been met and that the are planning more
protest demonstrations. rFl~

Malaya-Indonesia: Malayan Prime Minister
Rahman believes that his talks with Sukarno in Tokyo
have cleared the way for the 7 June tripartite minis-
terial discussions with t e Philippines on the proposed
Federation of Malaysia.
Sukarno apparently did not push for postpone-
men of the establishment of Malaysia during the
Tokyo talks, and Rahman believes that Sukarno's ap-
proval of the joint communiqud indicates that he "has
publicly abandoned" his policy of directly opposing
Malaya on the issue. Rahman said that Sukarno is
concerned over Indonesia's economic plight and rec-
ognizes that his opposition to Malaysia could dim'nish
the chances for increased Western economic aid.

NOTES
Laos: Souvanna is trying to increase pressure
on the Pathet Lao to cease. their military activity
in order to create a favorable atmosphere for nego-
tiations among the Laotian factions. On 1 June
Souvanna publicly charged that "foreign troops"--
the North Vietnamese --were spearheading the cur-
rent attacks, and the next day he called on the Pathet
Lao to halt their shelling of the neutralist positions
in the Plaine des Jarres. Despite Pathet. Lao pres-
sure on neutralist elements the Pathet Lao have not
advanced their forward positions on the Plaine des
Jarres.

Israel-Syria: Syria's objections to Israeli agri-
cultural activity in disputed areas of the demilitarized
zone have resulted in a series of minor incidents, in-
cluding "warning shots" by Syrian border ~ troops. Re-
monstrances by local UN officials have had little im-
pact on the Syrians. Israel's forbearance to date may
reflect its reluctance to create a rallying crisis for
the Arabs which might reverse the trend toward dis-
unity resulting from differences between Nasir and
the Baath-dominated regimes in Syria and Iraq,

been expanding his relations with Communist China

USSR and Communist China. He informed the US
ambassador on 27 May that he had discussed his gov-
ernment's acute budgetary difficulties with the Soviet
ambassa or who promised to take up the matter in-

Rumania-USSR: A Soviet party delegation in
Rumania, e y Presidium Member Podgorny, is
apparently making no headway in its efforts to over-
come Bucharest's opposition to some of the Soviet-
sponsored bloc economic integration policies. In a
speech at Brasov on 29 May, made in the presence
of the Soviet delegation, Rumanian politburo member
and Party Secretary Ceausescu quoted Lenin in sup-
port of Bucharest's position. and reiterated the re-
gime Is view that "equalization of the level of develop-
ment of socialist states is indispensable. for the con-
struction of Communist society. " Rumania's resort
to an ideological argument in the name of Lenin will
make any compromise even more difficult than be-
fore.
