Tri- partite military (British-Greek-Turkish) helicopter patrols, however, are supplying badly needed food to villages outside Nicosia Troops in the area of Turkey nearest Cyprus remain on normal alert, but the US Embassy in Ankara reports no evidence of imminent operations directed against Cyprus. The embassy believes that as long as the security situation on Cyprus con- tinues to improve the Turks will focus attention on a political, rather than military, solution. More- over, the chief of the Turkish General Staff report- edly said on 3 January that there is "no question concerning the fact th, amt the Turkish military must not invade Cyprus now., he British are pushing for a convening of the confe'ence in London as early as 10 January, al- though there has been no basic change in the position AnnrnvvPd For RPIPACP nn.,vn9/n7 CID_RnP79Tnn975 nn71 1 17nnn1-9 j no of either Makarios or Vice President Kuchuk.

Couve pointed out that it was advantageous for Western Europe to develop close relations with Communist China, which forms a potential second front against the Soviet Union oreign ministry sources claim no knowledge of does not necessarily mean "consulte when' De Gaulle may move toward closer political relations with 'Peiping or whether he contemplates outright recognition at this time. De Gaulle told Ambassador Bohlen in early November that the US would be "informed" prior to any French move, although the ministry sources point o that this )De Gaulle will probably discuss the political rationale for closer relations with Peiping at his press conference later this month.

Bustamante might make an announcement to this effect at the West Indian "summit" meeting to be held in Kings- ton on 13 Januar he US Embassy in Kingston comments that Bustmante's remarks appear to be part of a cam- paign by Jamaican officials to blackmail the US into increasing its economic assistance.

The military,. whose attitude is a critical element in the picture, will probably support the new government because of the need for unity during the Cyprus .crisis and the lack of any practical alternative. The opposi- tion Justice Party has avoided participating in the Inonu government, but will probably press for early elections once the Cyprus issue has subsided.
