Communist China - Hong Kong: Peking is maintain-
ing strong pressure on the British over Hong Kong.
On 22 May the British charge was again summoned
to the Chinese Foreign Ministry and handed a strong pro-
test over alleged British "atrocities" in Hong Kong. The
Chinese also demanded that the British quickly reply to
the Foreign Ministry statement of 15 May.
That statement demanded that the British release
arrested demonstrators, punish those guilty of police
brutality, make an apology, and guarantee that similar
actions will not be repeated. The British have delib-
erately avoided acknowledging the Chinese demands in the
hope that Peking would let the matter slide.
Many of those arrested in the demonstrations have
already been tried, convicted, and sentenced. Thus,
the British could not release them without suffering the
same loss of face the Portuguese accepted in Macao.
Peking's reiteration of its demands suggests an in-
tention to maintain pressure until concessions from the
Hong Kong authorities are forthcoming. The renewed
diplomatic pressure, together with recent anti-British
demonstrations along the Chinese side of the Hong Kong
border will probably encourage further leftist violence
in the colony.
In Hong Kong, the Communists' top-level "struggle
committee" met yesterday morning, probably to plan
new tactics to counter the strong police action. No se-
rious incidents or challenges to the government's ban on
demonstrations have been reported yet.

Nigeria: Eastern Nigeria's Consultative Assembly,
scheduled to meet on 26 May, will probably approve new
terms for a loose association with the rest of Nigeria.
the new terms are eased on a "Common-
wealth of Nigeria" concept. Each of the four units--
presumably the present regions--would have its own
"international personality" but would coordinate policies
through a secretariat. The units would have common
tariffs and services and would share diplomatic repre-
sentation in minor capitals. Transportation facilities
would be separately owned and controlled, but jointly
usable upon payment of agreed fees.
\these terms would be presented to the
federal government and the other regions on a take-it-
or-leave-it basis. Although there may be some flexi-
bility in the East's position, there is a strong possibil-
ity that this is Ojukwu's last offer to negotiate before
seceding.

Brazil: Security officials are concerned over the
government's indifference toward a large anti-US demon-
stration planned for today in Rio de Janeiro.
Radical student leaders are reported to be confident
that they can convert the march--planned to protest the
closing of a government-subsidized student restaurant--
into an antigovernment and anti-US demonstration. Se-
curity officials fear that unless the government reacts
more firmly than it has to similar agitation in recent
weeks, demonstrations may get out of hand and eventu-
ally cause the government to react with undue force.
Some responsible military and political figures are
increasingly unhappy about Costa e Silva's preoccupation
with seeking popularity and his failure to define his poli-
cies and provide firm leadership.
