Rhodesia.- Most Rhodesian whites welcome the
EN
exploratory talks for settling the Rhodesian problem,
but they are counting on Prime Minister Smith to
make no major concessions in Londoni
[According to the US consul in Salisbury, larger
numbers of whites have recently come to the view that
sanctions are producing long-range dangers to Rho-
desia. The consul believes, therefore, that Smith
could probably survive a challenge by extremists in
his cabinet and party over minor concessions- -perhaps
in education and land apportionment fields]
Rhodesian whites, however, are in no mood to
capit!Fate. The consul believes that Smith could not
get away with any agreement that would significantly
alter Rhodesia's "future internal organization" -:7~_pre-
sumably its white- dominated political structureJ
hould the London talks fail, the consul believes
that t,(T hope they raised in Rhodesia might degenerate
into bitterness and increased determination to resist.
He does not share Britain's view, that the Rhodesians
will soften after three or four more months of sanc-
tions. IF-

Common Market. The EEC Council appears to
have made significant progress in its meetings in Brussels this week although the firmness of some of j
the agreements remains to be seen] 0
The agreement in principle on financing the com-
munity's agricultural policy calls for freeing internal. 0
movement of agricultural, goods by stages between j
November 1966 and July 1968. This will be accom-
panied by community fund financing of marketing and j
surplus disposal expenditures as regulations for indi-
vidual products become effective
Cndustrial goods will move freely within the EEC
as of 1 July 1968, 18 months earlier than foreseen E
in the Rome Treaty. The council reportedly agreed j
that "legal steps" should be taken to implement treaty
provisions for making customs receipts community
property after 1969--an important issue in last year's
crisis. The council also agreed on dates for decisions
on common tax and social measures.]
The council took no specific decisions on the
Kennedy Round, but early meetings are apparently
foreseen to work out community positions on both the
agricultural and industrial. sides of the trade and tariff
negotiations. The Germans and Dutch maintain that 0
this week's agreements are conditional on progress on
EEC preparation for the Kennedy Round, The Germans
presumably count for leverage on the fact that the
agreements have yet to be approved by the council as
an actual regulation
The decisions on agricultural, financing as well
as the impetus apparently provided for progress in
other fields reflects again the continuing pressures
in the EEC to proceed with economic integration. In
addition, this week's negotiations reaffirmed the im-
portance of the EEC Commission in Brussels in de-
fining and then conciliating an agreement on common 25X1
policies

Laos- /A new period of heightened tension within
the Laotian military establishment appears to have be-
gunj
The current uneasiness was precipitated on 11 May
by an effort on the part of the general staff in Vientiane
to replace General Ma as commander of the air force.
Members of the general staff have long resented Ma's
independence and growing power, and his removal has
been under active consideration since late Aprilaj
[A compromise "solution" now has apparently been
reached under which Ma will continue to command the
air force, although with reduced powers. Ma's head-
quarters will be moved from Savannakhet to Vientiane
where presumably his activities will come under closer
supervision of the general staff. Certain details re-
main to be worked out, however, and it is not clear
whether the current con romise is intended only as a
temporary arrangementj
~lthough this face-saving formula may hold the
contending factions in check for the immediate future,
the attempt to undercut Ma may impair the effective-
ness of the air force at least over the short term. In
addition, the general staff's heavy-handed tactics will
almost certainly rouse the long-standing animosities
and apprehensions of other field commanders

week bears out earlier indications of his hard-line
pro-Soviet orientation and his anti-US outlook, par-
ticularly regarding US-Vietnam policy. Noumazalay,
nonetheless, left the door open to closer ties with "old
friends" like France. Other comments by the premier
may indicate that recent infighting within the regime
has resulted in the strengffieni.-.ng of forces which want
tighter control, by the si fyle political Party over the
