Communist Party of China.
Both llbo and Liu emphasized that the months of Aby sec
June, 1959, will be "sharp months" in that the international
situation will reach critical points. They stated in ref:erenne to
the Berlin situation that the communist countries are not goit ny
to give in and that the Chinese leaders are convinced that the
Feetern powers including the Oiited States will retreat. The
Berlin question will become as critical that the co%munha?~s will
have to find a ".race saving" device in order to let the United States
reach an understanding or retreat gracefully. Mao stated thcr- -,te
communist powers are not worried about the military threw s r' k le
