China's Nuclear Policy
China's scornful abuse of the U.S.-Soviet nuclear arms agree-
ment and general efforts to block international disarmament
efforts in the United Nations can only be interpreted as an at-
tempt to justify its own development of nuclear weapons. Pe-
king's policy certainly contributes nothing to world peace.
Almost immediately after ceremonies were held last week
in the White House-attended by President Richard Nixon and
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko-to mark the signing
o'the agreement, China sounded off in the U.N. China opposed
the general view that the agreement, although limited in scope,
was a significant step toward disarmament and toward avert-
ing a nuclear war. Under the pact, the U.S. and the Soviet
Union will limit the number of defensive missiles and freeze
the number of offensive missiles at their present levels for five
years.
Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Chiao Kuan-hua; in his na-
tion's first policy speech to the General Assembly, stated that
.the U.S.-Soviet agreement' "can by no means be regarded as
a step toward nuclear disarmament. On the contrary, this
marks the beginning of a new stage in the Soviet-U.S. nuclear
arms race."
He condemned the agreement_for not accomplishing the ulti-
mate goal-total disarmament in one step, rather than accept
the fact that such an aim can only/be accomplished gradually.
But nothing pleases Peking. Mr. Chiao'was equally scathing
In his attack against a Soviet proposal-supported by U.N. Sec-i
,,retary General Kurt Waldheim-to start preparations for a,
world disarmament conference. The Chinese official said that
:a world disarmament conference would become. only an "Empty-
Talk Club which would, indulge in far-ranging rambling dis-
. course without solving any practical problems." -
Unfortunately, the United States also rejected the proposal,
because such a conference would not be helpful "to the real
,task of developing the techniques and mutual confidence In-
volved in limiting and reducing. armaments." It is our opinion
that any, effort, even with only a remote chance of success, is
;worth making because the horror of nuclear warfare remains a
'constant threat.
Mr. Chiao restated his nation's hard-line nuclear policy which
in essence excludes any cooperation internationally to reduce
this danger. "China is making nuclear tests under compulsion,"
Mr. Chiao said. And he added that ' China is ready at any time .
'-to stop all her nuclear tests,.but only on the day the nuclear
weapons of the nuclear superpowers are completely prohibited
and thoroughly destroyed.and not before."
It is very apparent that China intends to stay outside of any
world movement working toward nuclear disarmament for some
time to come. And-its reasons are obvious if questionable.
It is forecast that China may require decades to catch up
with the Soviet Union and the United States in nuclear arma-
`: ments and that it will not be interested in talking disarmament"
until it reaches parity. ? ,
At this moment, its nuclear. armaments, although deadly,
' are meager in comparison., Military analysts believe China has
two dozen medium-range ballistic missiles aimed toward Soviet
;forces along its border, and the capability to deliver nuclear
. bombs by aircraft.. Also, it is felt that China almost certainly
has a small number of nuclear intermediate-range missiles that
could reach as far as Moscow. '
It is known that China is working on an intercontinental bal-
listic missile (ICBM), which when completed could bring all
of Asia and the United States into range. Once the first Chi-
nese ICBM splashes down in the ocean, China will be able to
engage in "big power" nuclear diplomacy with as yet unknown
consequences for Asia and the world.
Certainly, this is one of its main aims in building a nuclear
arsenal along with the aim of countering .the Soviet threat along
its borders. It has not given up its dream of world domination.
It wants a nuclear punch to promote this objective. At the same
time, China-now extremely active in the world again- sees the
need. to match as much as possible the nuclear power of the.j
U.S. and the Soviet Union and to balance its military strength
against Japan's economic supremacy.'
It would be unrealistic to hope that at this time Chlna'would
agree to any formula to restrain its development of nuclear
weapcna. But other nations are beginning to become aware 'of
their awesome responsibilities and the need to take the first,
steps toward disarmament. China may some day also accept
this necessity. We hope it will be soon. : .~

Washington
One day Americans will flick on their
television sets and view the progress of
harvesting in Soviet Kazakhstan. Across the
ocean Britons will sit in their living rooms to
see a sumo wrestling match in Tokyo while
Russians rush home from work to watch
"The Dick Cavett Show."
A fanciful idea?
Not when television broadcasting by space
satellite directly into home receivers be-
comes a reality, and that is expected to be in
little more than a decade.
As the age of such satellite TV commu-
nication approaches, however, a storm of
controversy is gathering around the issue of
censorship. In essence, the Communist coun-
tries and many developing nations want the
right to stop programs at their origin. The
United States, believing that there has'tb be a
free marketplace of ideas in the world,,
staunchly advocates an unfettered flow of
information across national bounda ,ies.
The first serious confrontation over the
issue will take place at a UNESCO confer-
ence this week. ? ? , .
There can be two kinds of television .
broadcasting from outer space. One is from a
satellite to a community TV receiver. The
technology for that already exists. This does
not raise national hackles, however, because
a 'community receiver is controlled by the
state, and the state must release any pro-..
,gram beamed from abroad.
Broadcasts also can be transmitted
directly into augmented receivers in the
home. It is prohibitively expensive to have
such receivers now, but by 1985 technology Is
expected to be advanced to a point where
signals can bypass the ground transmitters
and be sent directly into ordinary sets.
That is where the problem arises..
Not surprisingly, the Soviet Union, which
manipulates its news media for political ends
and fears the penetration of Western ideas,
seeks maximum control over satellite broad-
casting into homes. It now has before the
United Nations. a draft international con-
vention governing such broadcasts.
The proposal makes transmission of com-
mercials possible only by mutual agreement
anti excludes any material which propagan.
dizes ideas of war, racial hatred, or immoral.
ity, or is aimed at interference in another
nation's domestic affairs or foreign policy. It
also establishes the tenet of prior consent - a
state could broadcast only with the agree.
ment of the receiving state - and gives a
country the right to destroy a satellite
anywhere in outer space to stop illegal
'television broadcasts of which It is the object.
These, of course, are sweeping principles
that would enable Moscow to interdict vir.
tually anything it wished.
Not only the Marxist Russians are
aroused over the issue, however. Third-world
countries are also concerned.
Many of them view a "free flow of
information" as only one way, and they fear
cultural and political domination by the U.S.,
other Western countries, or even the Soviet
Union, which at present have the technology.
to send, while'the developing nations can only
receive.
It can be assumed, for-instance, that Hindu
Indians would not want to watch a Spanish
bullfight and that Italia.' s or Peruvians would
resent programs ad-,;;ating birth control.
Hence the deg,--loping nations say there
must be provisions regarding their cultural
integrity;,,-,id political independence.
At this juncture there is no early prospect
that the far-reaching Soviet draft in the'UN
will be adopted. It has been referred to a
working group and will not come up for
consideration in the Outer Space Committee
and the General Assembly until 1974, so the
U.S. has more than a year's breathing space
to work out alternative proposals.
UNESCO, meanwhile, also, has 'a draft
declaration which, although it is more moder-
ate than Moscow's 'proposed convention, .
nonetheless is unacceptable to the U.S.
Sponsored by the third-world countries, it,
too, establishes degrees of prior consent for
satellite broadcasting Into homes.
The U.S. would like to persuade UNESCO
to postpone consideration of its declaration
until it .can be studied by the UN Outer Space
Committee. It argues that satellite tech-
nology has not yet been fully developed and
that the relevant issues have been discussed
only by private experts in UNESCO, whereas
governments should have an opportunity to
study them.
This strategy aimed at postponement has
sparked a sharp broadside from Dr. Frank
Stanton of the Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tem, who wants the U.S. to take a firm stand
against the UNESCO declaration. He regards
the document as a direct challenge to
freedom of speech and communication and
feels the State Department is temporizing on
the issue.
Washington replies that it will vote against
the UNESCO proposal, which is likely to be
overwhelmingly adopted. But it prefers a
deferment of the issue because a vote at this
time would accord the declaration a status it
does not now enjoy as governments rushed to
get on the bandwagon of support for it.
For the Americans, the legal and other
problems involved are extremely complex.
The First Amendment, for one, prohibits a
restraint on. private broadcasts, and no treaty
could supersede this amendment.
Other questions also arise: What could the
U.S. accept on the broadcasting of political
propaganda? On the cultural or religious
content of programs that might be offensive
to another country? On commercial advertis-
ing? Can a, criterion of news accuracy be
enforced?
The U.S. intends to take a hard lock at these
and other complexities of satellite broad-
casting in time for a meeting of the UN
working group in June, 1973. By then other
governments, too, may have a clearer idea.
Meanwhile, the Dick Cavetts and Walter
Cronkites can be mulling over how to amuse
or inform or educate what will soon be a
planetary audience.

ZO September 1972
SECRETS OF THE BLACK SEPTEMBER GROUP
The bloody tragedy of September in Munich should not have
come as a surprise. Several Western embassies and a lot of top
men in corporations, banks, and business groups were reading as
early as October 1970, in a confidential newsletter published in
Belgium, about the establishment within certain Palestinian or-
ganizations of a "Clandestine Central Committee for the Libera-
tion of Palestine," otherwise known as the CCCLP, which was "de-
termined to rely on both Peking and Moscow, but not to depend on
either," and ready to fight on an international level.
This newsletter, called "La Lettre de Bruxelles," raised
a few skeptical eyebrows in December 1971 and in January, March,
and May 1972, when it announced, after the murder in Cairo of
Jordanian Prime Minister Wasfi Tall, that the CCCLP had a handful
of commandos backed by a vast network of support for its organi-
zation of killers right here in our countries. At the time, the
newsletter announced that the CCCLP would strike again whenever
it looked as if there might be a return to peace in the Middle
East. The same newsletter announced that pipelines would be sa-
botaged -- although of course it did not mention just where --,
like those last August in Trieste, as well as possible sabotage,
of vessels trading with Israel, whether they sailed from close or
distant ports.
And so Munich might have been expected, just as, at the
time, the bloody incidents that marred the Olympic Games in Mexi-
co might have been predicted. That time it was the South. American
"brothers" of the Palestinian terrorists who chose the same bloody
device to attract international atten-ion.
We have conducted this inquiry and gathered all our data,
but we have refrained from making judgments on the merits. We
would simply point out that Israel has the right to demand guaran-
tees for its security like any other state in the world, and that
the Palestinian people have a >ight to justice, though they would
perhaps already have got it were it not for the way the suffering
of others is used and abused by certain "instigators" and "support
systems" which see in other people's disappointments and disgust
only a means of sowing bloodshed and disorder.
Birth of Bl-,ck September
The tag "CCCLP" is not a formal one. Those who founded
this secret committee 2 years ago simply came out of almost all
the organizations then operating inside or outside Palestine: a
dozen or` so men of action, all pf them under 35, all of them fed
up with theoretical squabbles, all of them disillusioned with
Marxism or with the extreme right, all of them adamant in their
rejection of the compromises that would be dictated by any East-
West entente in a kind of mini-Yalta on the Israeli-Arab level.
It was agreed that each of them would remain a cadre or member in
his original organization, and that each man's membership in the
Committee would remain a secret, with his life as the guarantee.
One of the founders of the committee that gave birth to
Black September the following year. early in the fall of 1971,

was Salah Khalaf, under his nom de guerre, Abou All Yyad. Until
then, this one-eyed giant had commanded the OLP [Organisation pour
la Liberation du Palestin; Palestine-Liberation Organization]
shock-troops. He died in July 1971, in the Jerash caves under
fire from Jordanian army troops. His sister, a kind of.Passiona-
ria devoted to the cause, immediately determined to avenge him,
and made contact with several of the secret committee's founders.
Out of their meetings came the "Black September Hand," which a
few weeks later signed the death-warrant for Wasfi Tall. It was
called the "Hand" because it followed the rules of all proper se-
cret organizations: no cell had more than-five members, and only
one of those members had contact with one neighboring cadre.
As early as 1971, this action group hac"_ a sizeable inter-
national network. For a year the leaders of the secret ccrmnittee
had taken advantage of their official functions ,within the old-
line Palestinian organizations, which include- missions to the
several Arab countries as?well as to Europe, to recruit on three
levels : among Palestinians to ,'build up pains of cells among the
students, emigres, workers, 'etc., among the "Committees to Support
Palestine 1t and among the Arab emb'assias, in the Arab League offi-
ces all over the world, and also in'the embassies and bureaux of
of the Maghreb countries.
This explains how Black September has been able to strike
in London, Milan, Trieste, Hamburg, Cologne, Rotterdam, and in
half a dozen other places over the past 10 months, pulling'fif-
teen or so assassinations, sabotage jobs, and kidnapings which,
quite apart from the Munich affair, had already caused some 30
deaths abroad and injured almost as many.
Most of the leaders of Black September's 50 or 60 five-man
commando-groups were trained in Peking, Moscow, Algeria, East
Germany, or North Korea over the past.5 to 6 years. They make up
a kind of freemasonry which has no fixed center for a general
staff, which in part explains why the organization is so parti-
cularly hard to get at. Its only permanent body is a coordinating
committee, which apparently has as its top man one Ahmed Djebril
a one-time officer in the Syrian army and longtime chief of the
FLP [Front pour la Liberation de la Palestine; Palestine: Libera-
tion Front] general staff; he often uses the name Abou Jihad.
For 24 months the Black September Hand has exploited all
the wrangling and dissidence that have shaken the Palestinian
organizations, which as of today have been reduced to only four
official movements. Recruiting was unquestionably helped by the
following tie-ins:
with Naief Hawatmeh's FPDLP [Front Populaire Democratique
pour la Liberation de la Palestine; People's Democratic Front
for the Liberation of Palestine], Black September says it is
for "a class approach" to Arab-Israeli and international. problems;
with-Georges Habbache's FPLP [Front Populaire.pour la Li-
beration de la Palestine; People's Front for the Liberation of
Palestine], it advocates direct action: plane highjacking, "se-
lective" terrorism, etc. But Habbache, who has long been tied to
Moscow, where he has been since 29 August, not since 5 September
as reported elsewhere,, last month came out in support of the
principle of "reconversion" of the Palestinian groups-into a po-
litical "united front," temporarily abandoning direct action.
This led to a split of the FPLP, with Waddi Haddad, its chief of
foreign operations, leaning toward Black September, and Ghassan
Kanafani and Abou Chebab siding with Habbache and openly denounc-
ing direct action. Last July, Kanafani was hit by a mysterious

attacker, variously reported to be in the, pay of Israel or Jordan.
But the truth was that Black September was issuing a cheap warn-
ing to somebody who might betray what he knew of the secret com-
mittee's plans, particularly since his wife is Danish and, accord-
ing to Black September, still clings to her Western principles.
All those booby-trapped packages sent to Israel's embassies
and missions, or into Israel itself between November 1971 and
February 1972 came from Black September, although it signs only
the actions it considers important.
Yasser Arafat, the boss of',the official Palestinian organi-
zations, knows enough about the strength the secret committee has
built up to take a prudent attitude toward it. This is why he
did not. denounce the Munich murders. Naief Hawatmeh had done
so in February 1972, when he criticized Black September for "spon-'
taneism." He has shut up since, knowing full well what fate would
befall him,should he fall from grace again.
And finally, with El Fatah, the Black September Hand goes
along with the idea of establishing a Jordan-Palestinian Repub-
lic, and hence with abolishing the monarchy.
With the remainder of the Islamic Fatah founded long ago
by Amin el Husseini, the former Mufti of Jerusalem, the secret
committee is bitterly hostile"to the lodges, and this adds to its
hatred for King Hussein, who is'an.upper.-degree member of the
Scottish Rite masons in Great Britain.
Black September and its ruling "hand". are not sworn vas-
sals to Marxism, despite a certain flavor in their rhetoric.
But no more are they part of the traditional Arab right, since
their thrust runs against international capitalism as well.
What is more, it is unquestionably this position outside the ex-
? pected pattel*ns that enables the phoney fights.between East and
West to continue, thus threatening to cut short the existence of
Black September. On both sides of the barricades; the people who
pull the strings would very much 1kv to see the revolution, or
several revolutions. Provided, tha is, that they are still
.pulling the strings.
However, it is also the size and strength of the interna-
tional backup systems whit.",i tJ 3 secret committee enjoys which,
parado.~ically, th'eaten thc,, s,_."vival of Black September. Because
of a handful of "people of good will" won over in the West, the
organization was apparently blinded to the degree of second-
thought "decay" that had attacked the internationalist network
it had coun4. -d on until now. Discreet though. ' he recruiting
effort was '.thin the "scurport committees" sot up in our coun-
tries to "help Palestine,` it was inevitable that these networks
should have been. infiltrated by informers who were far more in-
!terested in the ways their own movements could exploit Black Sep-
.tember: or even, in the case of pro-'Soviet elements, in penetra-
!ting`these networks so.that, at the proper moment, they could
,commit "indiscretions" which would provoke police actipn.
Be that as it may, here are some details about these other
organizations.
In France
Here the rank and file support for Black September comes
mainly from the remnants of the network of intellectuals, uni-
versity people,' progressive priests, and the like, who used to
work for the Algerian FLN. There are several veterans from the

 Approved For Release 2003/08/21 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R002200070095-1
Jeanson apparatus, "Abbe" Robert Davezies, his friends in "Jeune
Resistance," and the group led by Henri Curiel. Another is re-
porter Paul-Albert Lentin, who in 1960 and 1961 set up several
secret contacts between Mr Bernard Tricot, then an adviser to
President de Gaulle, and the secret apparatus of the Communist
Party and the clandestine organization of the FLN on the other
part.
Under cover of exhibits organized in Europe in the summer
of 1971 and called "Palestine Weeks," the secret committee did
intensive recruiting for its own secret networks, particularly
among members of "Secours Rouge," "Revolution," Lutte Ouvriere,"
"Ligue Communiste," the "Front des Jeunes Progressistes" (left-
wing Gaullists), and in the left wing of the PSU [Parti Socialiste
Unifie: Unified Socialist Party].
The secret committee's contact points in Faris include:
La Librairie Palestininenne, at 24 Rue de la Reunion, the head-
quarters of the magazine Africasia at 37 Rue de Bassano, the of-
fices of the Arab League, etc. These contacts are invariably
covered by missions for such official organizations as El Fatah,.
FPLP, FPDLP, etc.
In Belgium
There are drops at Brussels, .Namur, Flawinne, and Fali-
solle. Francis Dessart, the newsman and secretary-general of the
Unified Socialist Front (which is allied with Krivine's Communist
League) is not the last man to be in "sympathy" with the aims of
Black September.
In Italy
Rome and Milan are two essential bases, opened in 1971
with the direct backing of billionaire publisher Feltrine.lli. It
was he who brought into the circle attorney G.B. Lazagna, archi---
techt Ciruzzi, Vittorio Togliatti (Palmiro's nephew), and Maria
Calimodio, Palmiro Togliatti's ex-wife. Meanwhile in Milan,
Arturo Schwartz, of the Trotskyite "Reds" group, knowingly or
not, .like all who had gone before him, offered his support to the
Black'September organization.
In Switzerland
Zurich and Lausanne are the two most useful centers for the
"Coordinating Committee" run by Abou Jihad, under the cover of
something called the "Committee for Support to Arab Palestine,!'
and thanks to the systematic penetration of the Arab-Swiss Asso-
ciation.
In Great Britain
It has been common knowledge for 2 years that 32 Labour
MPs have been won over to the Palestinians, including Cristopher
Mayhew and old syndicalist Margaret McKay. Some of these people
even now support Black September. None of them, in any case,
has spoken out against its action in Munich. However, it is
Peter Hain, president of the Young Liberals, and his friends,
Tariq Ali,,the well-known Pakistani, and Iraqi Fawzi Ibrahim,
who bestir themselves most on hehalf of Palestinians tied in
with Black September. The latter two have their own contacts
with leftist circles in the IRA [Irish Republican Army].

In the United States
The natural-born pillars of Black September are veterans
of the Weathermen,the Black Panthers, and sundry cadres from the
American-Arab university students' association.
In Federal Germany
The police had firm knowledge that the secret committee
was actively recruiting, and had been for 2 years, among an
Arab colony numbering almost 75,000, 3,500 of whom are natives
of Palestine. But the fix was in from high places until the
Hamburg sabotage, the Cologne murders (6 Jordanians at a single
stroke), and finally the Munich affa;Lr. There was-continuing
protection from the "Juso," the youth wing of the Social Democrat
Party, and even on the party's executive council and that of the
Liberal-Democrat Party, many of whose MPs are known to have
backed the Algerian FLN networks, and, until early 1972, those
of the Palestinians. On the fringes, the "activists" in the
anarchist "Baader Gang" maintained contacts with Black September.
until their group was broken up, and records seized by the police
would have indicated the taking of a little more precautionary
measures during the Olympic Games.
The Terrorist Internationale and the Pipelines
According to the testimony of several policemen, we find
that on the first 2 days after the Games began, they had only to
do their jobs, being on the alert for possible incidents, for
certain newsmen and even some athletes to insult them and call
them "nazis." Was this purposely done to get a relaxation of
security?
As a whole, the Black September Hand belongs to a new
terrorist internationale which owes allegiance to nobody, though
it does maintain contacts with everybody. Several plane high-
jackings, including the one that recently brought it $35 million,
,plus its drug trafficking, provide irregularly -- financing
.for the organization. It has its contacts in the West, via Zu-
rich, with other foreign groups: with the ALT [Turkish Libera-
tion Army], with a Kurdish faction of the same coloration, and
with the "Red Army" in Japan, and with the Uruguayan Tupamaros.
Again through Zurich, it hays ties with one wing of the IRA, etc.
The organization's arsenal is a mixed bag, drawn from the
,stores of Palestinian organizations, mainly Fatah. But, for ex-
ample, some delayed-action grenades were made in Zwickau in East
Germany, ant'. the submachineguns come from Pr;-Ague.
The next action planned has to do with the European pipe-
lines, but, if they succeed, the ones in !ran and Saudi Arabia
will come first. This is why last June and July three or four
commandos of five experts each slipped into those countries, and
are waiting-for D-day to act. The man who heads the operation
in Iran is called Mazin Abou Nlirhi. We were unable to discover
whether that was his real name or a nom de guerre. For 9 weeks
the Iranian secret police have been combing the country, hoping
to catch him. In Europe, the oil companies have been on the
alert since the beginning of September, and their informants in-
side the support network are sweating to find out which targets
Black September has chosen for its pipeline strikes.

By Dan Morgan
Washington Post Foreign service
BELGRADE, Oct. 17-Presi-
dent Tito of Yugoslavia has
disclosed that he is at odds
with some of the leading offi-
cials of the largest regional
party In the country, the
Serbian League of Commu-
nists.
His confirmation of the rift
suggested to Yugoslav sources
that the 80-year-old president
may have run into resistance
In his campaign to mold the
national Communist Party
GED
into an integrated organiza-
tion.
The six republics that make
up Yugoslavia were once sub-
jected to absolute centralized
rule. But about four years ago,
Tito undertook to decentralize
both the country's economic
and political institutions. As a
result, the Communist parties
in the republics became more
independent and more in-
volved in promoting regional
interests.

Yugoslav republics. Protest by Leader
The Yugoslav press published In his speech at the secret

against the Serbian party lead-; sized that arbitrary changes
day secret meeting in Belgrade
last week.
Marshal Tito, who has been
head of the Yugoslav Commu-
nist party for 25 years, accused
the Serbian leaders of having
followed separate, self-serving
policies that were in conflict
with the other republics. He
made it clear that the Serbian
party's Central Committee
would be expected to change
Its leadership at its next meet-
ing.
Rumors About Chairman
The chairman of the Serbian
party's Central Committee is
Marko Nikezic, a former For-
eign Minister and Ambassa-
dor to the United States. Mr.
Nikezic, who is 51 years old
and a member of the party
since he was 19, was elected to
the Serbian party post in 1968.
Rumors have circulated in
Belgrade all summer that Mar-
shal Tito was displeased with
Mr. Nikezic and the Serbian
party's actions., The dispute
came to public attention nine
Serbian leadership. He report-
edly told the Serbs:
"I think you will agree that
at such meetings as this, out-
side the regular forums, there
cannot be any question of 'any
personnel shifts in the leading
bodies. Only your forums are
competent to do that.. It is your
problem, the problem of your
Central Committee.
By implication, President
Tito accused the Serbs of
having sought a privileged role.,
in the Yugoslav federation of
21 million people, in which the
8.5 million Serbs constitute the
largest republic.
The Yugoslav leader re-
portedly protested that a "con-
centration of . capital," large
banks and powerful wholesale
trade organizations in Serbia
had 'stimulated nationalist re
,sentments and distrust in the,
five other republics. .. 11 t
Last winter, nationalist dis-
turbances in the republic of
Croatia were touched off by
economic complaints : against
Serbia. A major objective of
:Marshal Tito's reforms. is to
ian Lenders
that he opposes "decentrali-
zing the League of Commu-
nists," the national Commu-
nist Party.
For the past 18 months, he
has been pressing for a party
shake-up that would ur.:fy and

ministrative power, giving the
republics control over every-
thing, but foreign affairs and

that despite his immense pres-
tige, It was uncertain whether
the Serbian organization
would now adopt major per-
sonnel and policy changes. 1
Tito left this up to the repub-
lic's Central Committee.
Excerpts of Tito's remarks
to Serbian party officials last
week were released last night
after a delay of several days.
Tito was quoted as saying the
situation in the regional party
was "not good" and
healthy."
Since the ouster of Serbian
strongman and Yugoslav po-
lice boss Aleksander Rankovic
in 1966, the regional party has
moved away from its tradi-
tional role as a vehicle for
Serbian political dominatlotii
of Yugoslav politics and con
centrated. more on economic
problems.
According to some, however,
President Titu was referring
to the Serbian party when he
said in an interview Oct. 7
that "It happens that in some
Republic they a r e isolated
,within their own circle as if
the [national] League of Com..
munists didn't exist."
Last November, after, a
meeting between. Tito and the
leaders of the Republic of
Croatia, followed by a tough
speech, a sweeping purge
began of the Croatian party,
and it is still continuing.
By contrast, the excerpts of
Tito's remarks to the Serbs
seemed more cautious. How-
ever, he hinted that the meet-
ing had led to sharp disagree-
ments.

TITU, AT 80, TRIES
TO REBUILD PARTY
Ousters in the 6 Yugoslav
. Republics May Be Near
By RAYMOND H. ANDERSON
Special to The New York Times
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Oct.
13-A mood of a gathering
political storm is building up in
Yugoslavia as President Tito,
who is 80 years old and con-
scious of diminishing time, is
striving to rebuild the reform-
weakened Communist organiza-
tion as a tightly- disciplined
authority to hold the 'country
together after he leaves power.
Ousters of party officials in
some of the country's six re-
publics appear imminent. They
have been accused of defying
or ignoring his leadership.
At the same time, as part of
renewed emphasis on Yugosla-
via as a working-class society,
measures are being debated to
curb a new prosperous class
that has benefited most fromi
what students have begun tol
denounce as a "petit-bourgeois
consumer society."
For several weeks, Marshal
Tito and other leaders have
been speaking throughout
Yugoslavia in an accelerating
campaign to revitalize the
League of Communists, as the
party has been called since de-
centralization reforms in 1952.
In an interview published
Sunday. in the Zagreb news-
paper Vjesnik, President Tito
declared that Yugoslavia had
reached a "turning point" in
Socialist development. "We
need an avant-garde party," he
was quoted as having said.
"And this means that there can
be no room in it for those who
have absolutely nothing in com-
mon . with Socialism or with
Communism, those who joined
the party because of ca
teerism."
Party Termed Too Large
Marshal Tito said that the
party had become too large with
a million members-one out
of every 21 Yugoslavs - and
Could be reduced by several
hundred thousand.
In particular, he condemned,
a "euphoria of democratization"
that developed in the party after
its Sixth Congress in 1952. The
name was changed to League
of Communists at the congress
to symbolize its reduction
from a commanding role to one
f "education and persuasion."
A major objective of tie re-
'orms in 1952 was to contrast
expanding freedoms in Marxist
Yugoslavia with the Stalinist
7epression in the Soviet Union
tnd other Communist countries
n -Eastern Europe, enraging
oes of the Tito regime at the
line.
n the Vjesnik interview,
'arshal Tito asserted that the
emocratization had gone too
ir, weakening the party fort
struggle against the "class'en-
emy." But lie stressed that there
would be no regression to Sta-
linism.
The major demonstration of
the party s frailty came last
winter during an. outburst of
nationalist and separatist senti-
ment in the republic of Croatia.
The party. proved unable to
cope with the challenge, and
Marshal Tito warned that he
would order military interven-
tion if necessary.
The outbreak of Croatian
nationalism emphasized the
urgent need for a strong pation-
wide political authority, besides
Marshal Tito, to stand above
the country's many national-
ities.
"The party must be the
cohesive force in each republic,
the force of the monolithic
nature of our Socialist coun-
try," he said in the interview.
In recent months, increasing
expression has been given to
a wide variety of grievances
that seem to strengthen senti-
ment for a ,.stronger party au-
thority inflation,
growing, distinctions between
rich and poor, economic
provincialism and protectionism
in. some republics, and an up-
surge of church activity among
young people.
Even the press has come un-
der attack for "negative arti-
cles" about Yugoslavia and fort
circulation-building photographs
of nude women and attention to
glamourous and wealthy people.
Last week, Dusan Drago-
savac, Deputy Secretary of the
Executive Committee, Croatian
League of Communists, com-
plained that the "working peo-
ple and their achievements"
had disappeared. from Yugo-
slav publications.
Against this background of
discontent,. Marshal Tito de-
clared that priority action was
essential to reinstate the party's
authority and to force "unity
of ideas and action."
Disunity, he charged, is being
fomented by "certain people in
certain forums in our country."
He stressed that a generation
gap had emerged in the Yugo-
slav leadership between the
anti-Nazi partisan veterans of
a quarter of a century ago and
younger, upcoming officials.
The partisans "have the same
outlook," Marshal Tito stressed.
."But there are people oming
from unsound intellectual en-
vironments, the non-Socialist
intelligentsia," he complained,
without giving names. "They are
the one who offer resistance."
Marshal Tito expressed dismay
that disunity had been eroding
the revolutionary achievements
he had fought and worked for
over the last 50 years. , '
"I have been fighting for so
many years," he told the Vjes-
uik interviewer. "If I could doj
so, I would gladly have a' rest
now. Ph would be high time fort
me tave a rest. But as you
see, I must work. Just for this
reason I would like to con-
solidate our country so we can
be, certain about its proper
Socialist development.",,

6 JEWISH SCIENTISTS .
PROTEST IN MOSCOW
Special to The New York Timea
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17-Six
Soviet Jewish scientists in Mos-
cow telephoned a message to
the president of the National
Academy of Sciences here to-
day protesting their treatment
in the Soviet Union and the
refusal of the Soviet Govern-
ment to permit their immigra-
tion to Israel. .
The message, in the form ofl
an open letter, was received by
Dr. David Korn, chairman ' of
the Soviet Jewry Committee.of
the Jewish Community Council.
here and professor 'of Russian
studies at Howard University.
1Dr. Korn said he "transmitted
the, message to the National
Academy and its president, Dr.
Philip Handler.
In their message,, the six
scientists. said that their situa-
tion was "getting graver each
day," that they were. being.
"isolated from; the ' outside
world" and that their families'
were being "both openly and
secretly oppressed by the So-
viet authorities." They.said that
they were not permitted to
work in their specialties butt
were forced to do manual labor.
The six ' scientists asked Dr.
Handler to convey their-mes-
sage to, Prof. M. V. Keldysh,
president' of. ,the Soviet Acad-'
emy: of Sciences,--who is now

ON PREWAR PONDS!
U.S. Holders to Get Interest'
at a Lower Rate Pending
a Settlement Accord
By KATHLEEN TELTSCH
Poland has agreed to work
out a plan for settling about
$41-million in bonds dating from
the 1920's.
The securities are held by at
least 10,000 people, many of
them Polish-Americans in .the
Chicago, New York and Buf-
falo areas. A number of the
owners apparently regarded
them as nearly worthless, since
the bonds were'selling for less
than 9 per cent. of their face
value earlier this year.
Under an agreement signed,
yesterday, the Polish Govern-1
merit has agreed to pay in-:
tc' !st at a low rate for the
next two years and, after the
holders have been identified,
to'work out the precise method
for a permanent settlement in
1975.
All prewar Polish bonds pub-
licly offered on the American
market are covered by the
agreement, according to George
D. Woods, president of the
Foreign Bondholders Protective
Council, who negotiated the
terms with a Polish group:
headed by Stanislaw Kosicki of
the Polish Ministry of Finance.
The bondholders' council was
set ur in 133 by President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, who
selected a group of prominent
citizens to serve on the non-
profit group that has managed
to secure agreements totalling
$3.5-billion. In 1960 Yugoslavia
became the first Eastern Euro-
pean country to settle prewar
debts. Hungary, Rumania, Cuba,
Czechoslavakia, the Soviet Un
and Bulgaria have not settled
defaulted bonds. There also are
tl,.L unpaid debts incurred by
China that predate the war be-
tween the Nationalists and the
Communists.
"We were Poland's last credi.
tor," Mr. Woods remarked after
the interim agreement was
concluded and he had signed
it in the name of the bond-
holders' council.
The Polish bonds were pur-
chased during an era when
foreign bonds sold widely amo
United States ethnic groups.
Some bought them for senti-
ment and others for invest-
ment. It has been estimated that
more than $10-billion worth of
foreign bonds were sold in this
country in the nineteen-twen-
ties,
Whether holders of the Polish
bonds will recover the face
- s sal .
"No one knows how many
bonds will be recovered or how
many have been lost or de-
stroyed," Mr. Woods said. The
older generation, which pur-
chased the bonds, has died off
in many instances and some in
the younger generation regarded
them as worthless, he said.
One local purchaser of bonds
in the 1920's was the St. Alo-
ysius Young Men's Catholic
Club of, St. Stanislaw Kostika
Church. in Brooklyn.
The 75-year-old club pur-
, chased $300 worth of bonds,
,Its treasurer, Frederick Lupeno-
wicz, said, "to help out the
Polish people." Mr. Lupenowicz
said that club members long
ago had decided that they were
not going to get their money
from their purchase. "But we
held on to them anyway," he
said. "They're in our safe."
The negotiations concerning
the Polish bonds have been
going on quietly since early
'September but American au-
thorities have been reluctant to
?discuss'their progress.
However, increased trading
in the bonds on the New York
.Stock Exchange suggested that
speculators were expecting a
settlement.
The bonds, which had been
selling as low as 8V2 per cent
of face value, began climbing
significantly early in Septem-
ber, reaching a high of 33 be-
fore leveling off at about 29
per cent.
All of the bonds are bearer
bonds, not registered an con-
scqutntly there -voul be no re-
imbursement if he certificates
had disrl;,peared.
Efforts to-locate the holders
of the Polish bonds will, be
made partly through lists com-
piled by the council and
through advertisements in the
Polish-lenguage press, Mr.
Woods said. But he'added that
word quickly spread within a
community. when such events
occurred.
The interim agreement was
reached after 13 meetings he..
tween the Polish negotiators
and the council, 17 signed at
Mr. Woods's office at the First
Boston Corporation, an invest-
ment concern, at 277 Park Ave-
nun.
Under the terms, on or be-!
.,
fore July 1, 1973, Polish author-'
itics will offer holders of Polish;
Government and Government-
guaranteed prewar dollar bonds;:
an interim plan for settlement.
Holders will be asked to ac-!
cept by depositing their bonds!
with a paying agent to be,
named by Polish authorities.!
All such bonds will draw I V21 "per cent interest for the period l
between July 1, 1973, and June
30, 1974, and 2 per cent for:
the succeeding 12 months.
Also, by next July the polish,
authorities will announce theirl
intention to negotiate with the
council on a permanent settle-
^nent to go into, effect July 1,
1975.

L'Union sovietique vient d'en-

on 1970, elle a fait unc recolte

egalc, par exemple, a deux re'-
.oltes totales de la Pologne. Le
plan economique pour cette an-
nee se trouve compromis et to
plan quinquennal est tres se-
?icusement menace, non pas
seulement an chapitre agricole.
Mais, selon. Rene Dumont, to
spccialiste frangais tae l'agri-
;ulture russe, cos 150 millions
to tonnes dcvraient la.rgement
suffire a nourrir 245 millions de
iovietiques. La Chine a, selon
ui, en effet, rGussi a nourrir
orrectement pros do 800 mil-
lions d'hahitants, avec 246 mil-
lions de tonnes (i d'aliments de

Et d'autre part la population
russe est lasso des penuries, elle
demande quo Its promesscs
soient respectees et elle refuse
de se soumettre a u.ne disci-
pline do modele chinois.
Le deuxietne volet do cc lourd

vaste. En 1.913, ]'agriculture rus-
se accusait tin retard estintc a

sait la moitie seulement du ren-

Aujourd'hui, avec quinze quin-

encore plus grave : nn agri-

Et finalement les effets de la

)nurciement hypothequer la ba-

pour tine longue periode. Les

Slogans Issued for the Nov. 7 anniversary of
the Bolshevik Revolution suggest that, in
view of -the poor harvest, internal propa-
ganda will lay less stress on the goal of rapid
improvement of living standards and more
on the effort to spur production.
May Day and Nov. 7 are the country's two
major holidays. About a fortnight in advance
of each of these, the Central Committee of the
Soviet Communist Party issues a series of
about 60 slogans setting guidelines for propa-
ganda. The slogans then appear on banners,
provide the texts for posters, and furnish the
T o
keynotes for public speeches and newspaper
articles.
Usually the slogans repeat the old ones with
minor variations. Each change from the
.previous set of slogans indicates current
policy.
. Whereas 1971 November slogans and 1972
May Day slogans had viewed the labor of the
people as a "guarantee" of "the chief task of
the five-year plan - a substantial rise 1ni
public well-being," the r)ew slogans do not
mention this rise as the chief goal but simpiy
call for "a stubborn fight" to improve the
economy, "the basis of the motherland's
might and of steady growth in public well-
being."

JTAI1IAN'S DEATH.--.-
STILI MYSTERY
Charges Dropped in Case of
Wealthy Leftist Publisher
Eppclet to The New York 'rime.
MILAN, Oct. 8-Investiga-
gators here know a great deal
now about the adventurous life
of Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, the
publisher who Introduced Pas-
ternak's "Doctor Zhivago" to
the West, but they stiii don't
know how he died.
The body of the 45-year-old
leftist publisher, a multimil-
lionaire, was found at the base
of a sabotaged power pylon on
the outskirts of this City an
March 15.
The discovery caused a sen-
sation throughout Italy. It fol-
lowed a chain of terroristic'
bombings, and may have in-
fluenced the parliamentary
elections ' in May, which
showed a slight swing to the
right.
"During the last few days, the

others who had until now been
held. The magistrate's deci-
sions are interpreted as an im-
plicit admission that the in-
quiry has led into a blind alley.
'A Crass Amateur'
"We know that Fcltrinelli
had been in contact with ultra-
leftist networks during the last
years of his life and that he
bankrolled them," an official
said privately. "We _are pretty
sure that he was killed while
he was trying to blow up the
pylon of the high-tension pow-
er line In a way a crass ama-
teur would handle explosives.
But we assume that somebody
was with Feltrinelli, maybe
two persons, and we still can't
identify them by evidence that
would stand up in court."
Former associates of Mr.
Feltrinelli and left-wing groups
here say they are convinced
that the publisher was lured
into a trap in a 'right - wing
plot.
While the judicial inquiry
seems stalled, the Feltrinelli
publishing house has commis-
sioned a biography of its elu-
sive founder. The company is
continuing its activity with Mr.
Feltrinelli's third wife, Inge
Schoental Feltrinelli, as its
new president.
She is just back from her
native Germany where she
helped represent the Feltrinelli
publishing house st the Frank-
furt Book Fair. The third Mrs.
Feltrinelli, it the publisher's
fourth wife,tlla Melega Fel-
trinelli, have been repeatedly
questioned by investigators
during the last seven months.
Mr. Feltrinelli's will desig-
nated his only son-bv hi?%
third wife-as sole heir.
Fitzgerald Feltrinelli, the pub-
lisher's son, is 10 years old
and goes to school here.
Timber and Banking Fortune
The Feltrinelli fortune is
built on a timber and banking
empire left by the publisher's

had been in obscurity during
his life.
Soviet displeasure over the
appearance of the Pasternak
book-which won its author
the 1952 Nobel Prize for litera-
ture--caused Mr. Feltrinelli to
break with the Italian Commu-
nist party. The publisher had
been a party member since the
end of World War 11, and after
the Pasternak controversy
'drifted into far-left radicalim.
After being investigated for
a' suspected role in some bomb-
ings on the Italian mainland

appeared from his country at
the end of that year, but ap-
parently slipped back on vari-
ous occasions. There were
forged identity documents on

Pasternak Funds Used?
;Italian newspapers suggested
during the last few months
that Mr. Feltrinelli may have
used funds belonging to Pas-
t rnak and his heirs to finance
terroristic activities.
r Mr. Feltrinelli always re-
fused to disclose his financial
agreements with Pasternak,
and the amount of royalties
that "Doctor Zhivago" Thad
earned.
e However, It was reliably un-
4erstood that the total royal-
ties exceeded $2-million, and
that in agreement with Paster-
nak a large part of the 50 per
Cent Pasternak share was be-
ing kept in trust by Mr. Fel-
'lrinelli, presumably in Swiss
banks.
Asked about the royalties,
a spokesman for the Feltrinelli
xublishing house, Alba Marino,
said: "Relations with Pasternak
were regularized, and royalties
are being paid as they
mature."
t Requested to name the per-
sons to whom the royalties
were being paid, the spokes-
man 'said, that the funds were
"presumably" going to the au-
thor's heirs.

Activity of German Ivanovich Vladimirov Known in'the West.
or 20 Years
Soviet Consul General in Hamburg is a KGB Agent
The first Soviet Consul General in Hamburg, German Ivanovich
Vladimirov, is a high ranking KGB officer with great intelligence
experience abroad. This was confirmed by reliable sources in
Washington who are concerned with the activity of the Soviet
intelligence service around the world. The case has been a matter
of a CDU inquiry in the Bundestag.
Vladimirov who currently is an Embassy Counselor of the Soviet
Union in Bonn most likely will concern himself in behalf of the KGB
with matters relating to northern Gernany and the entire northern
sector of NATO once the Consulate General in Hamburg officially
opens.
American experts have known Vladimirov for about 20 years.
For instance, he had been identified in Vienna as early as 1953 as
a member of the Soviet intelligence service (KGB). When he left
Vienna in 1958 another well-known KGB officer replaced him t1ere,
namely Victor Roshnov.
Expelled Because of Espionage Activities
Sergej Kudrjavzev, who had been expelled by the Canadian Government
because of espionage activities in 1945 and Vladimir Zyganov, who had
been asked to leave the Federal Republic by the federal goverment
in 1968 were close co-workers of Vladimirov's at the Bonn Embassy.
Vladimirov was formerly in the Press Section and today he is in the
Cultural Section of the Soviet Embassy at the Bonn Embassy.
The American experts are a little bit surprised that as experienced a
KGB officer as Vladimirov Trill now become the chief at the Consulate
General. Earlier experiences indicate that Moscow prefers to place
KGB people in second or tI_ ' d. -iositions and not to make them chiefs of
mission.
It is believed that 'iladimirov will enlarge the espionage net
of the Soviets in northern Germany from the Hamburg base. The
developme,t of a comprehensive net of agents and saboteurs has been
the objc.five for a long -".ime of the Soviet KGB.
In the event of military conflict the KGB agents would be tasked
with rendering German ports unuseable through acts of sabotage and thus
to facilitate the advance of the Red.Army.
Vladimirov's interests are,/however, not confined to the Federal
Republic of Germany. In 1969 he appeared for instance, under diplomatic
cover presumably concerned with cultural affairs' matters, in the
Norwegian capital of Oslo. Vladimirov used the occasion of the opening
of an air'route of Aeroflot from Moscow to Oslo for conducting a
conference in which the KGB officers Lepeshkin and Grushko participated;
they are responsible for Norwegian affairs.

Britain and the six Common Market coun-

tough, and concerted European line is needed
to combat the' drug traffic.
A statement issued after a recent two-day
conference in Rome said they recognized that
the development of the Common Market
could hinder the war against drug smugglers
because relaxations of restrictions on the
movement of persons and goods between the
participating states could be abused. `
But among the-.measures the ministers
thought should be studied were restrictions
on the freedom of international movement of
those convicted of international trafficking,
improved extradition agreements, and prohi?

By John K. Cooley
Staff correspondent of
The Christian Science Monitor
Beirut, Lebanon
Recent clashes in Lebanon between Pales-
tine guerrilla factions reflect a deep crisis at
the heart of the guerrilla movement.
Radicals who favor spectacular terrorist
operations like those the Black September
group carried out at the Munich Olympics
and who want to resume attacks on Israel's
borders are contesting the "moderate" lead-
ership of Yasser Arafat, chairman of the
.Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
More fundamentally, the radicals, in-
cluding much of the guerrilla leadership in
Syria and Lebanon, oppose Egyptian Presi-
dent Anwar al-Sadat's suggestion last month
that the Palestinians concentrate on the
political target of forming a provisional
government in exile.
Mr. Arafat and several other older-gener-
ation leaders of the PLO and Al-Fatah, the
largest guerrilla organization, see many
arguments in favor of the Palestinians thus
becoming a recognized political movement.
Israeli planes seized upon the period of
strife in the guerrilla movement to attack
areas used by the guerrillas in Syria and
Lebanon. The Lebanese Army reported 2
civilians killed and 16 injured in raids on
three areas of Lebanon.
Observers here felt that the Israeli raids
would tend to reinforce the authority of
Yasser Arafat by demonstrating tb the
projects of the more radical guerrilla ele-
ments, such as the frogman and motorboat
bases, were highly vulnerable to Israeli
attack.
The radicals, led in Lebar?r;r by a Maj.
Hamdane Achour who has efied Mr. Ar.
afat's orders transferring ;';m to the rela-
tively remote post of Baghda?i, oppose this.
The immediate issue triggering a'fight in
Lebanon between two Al-Fatah units Oct. 14
was the future of guerrilla seaborne oper.
atYons against Israel.
Since the last Israeli incursion in mid-
September into south Te ebanon areas used by
the guerrillas, the Lebanese Army has been
quietly increasing its curbs on their oper-
ations.
Last week it ordered a guerrilla com-
mander named Abu Youssef al Kayed to
-remove an installation from an area called
Bakhuk, near the southern Lebanese port of
Tyre. -This was a base for small motorboats
used to carry arms and men into Israel and
the Gaza Strip by sea.
Guerrillas forced to move
A similar base for guerrilla frogmen at
Sarafand, between Tyre and Saida, was
attacked, by Israeli seaborne commandos in
early 1971, disrupting an American Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania Museum archaeological
team excavating Phoenician remains there
and causing the guerrillas to move the base
later on to Bakbuk. The guerrilla group
headed by Abu Yousef al-Kayed had begun to
rebuild the Sarafand base and was ordered to
stop by the Lebanese Army last week.
Mr. Arafat ordered Mr. al-Kayed to obey
the Lebanese Army orders by Mr. al-Kayed
refused. Mr. al-Kayed was backed by an-
other radical faction supported by Libya, the
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine
'(general command). This group includes
Libyan volunteers and has several times'
disobeyed orders from the PLO central
command.
Fighting between & loysi M-Fatah unit sent
to "discipline" Mr. a!-F .yed cost at least
three lives and nine wounded, Including two
Labanese, in the hills of western Lebanon's
Bekaa region close to the Syrian border.
Leader cacT'-ng trial
Lebo ^ise ts-n.y units stayed out of the fight
and the loyalists won. Mr. al-Kayed Is to be
tried l,y a Palestinian military court, guer-
rilla sources said.
Palestinians and their supporters here are
disheartened by the internecine fight';,ag.
Many believe the guerrilla movement will not
long survive in the forms in which it has
existed since King Hussein's Jordan Army
drove the guerrillas out of Jordan in 1970 and
1971.
"The days of uniformed guerrillas and big
public promotions are long over," said one
influential Palestinian here. "From now on
we must wage a clandestine war, as the
Israelis did before they won in Palestine in
1948.
At the same time, we must build some kind
of political movement representing a Palesti-
nian political' consensus. This is an even
harder job than waging a terrorist war."

La suggestion de Satiate
mettrait I'URSS
'dans I'embarras
Moscou, 29. - (AFP) L'agence Tass a diffuse
vendredi aprCs-midi, avec prCs de vingt-quatre
heures de retard, des extraits du discours pronon-
cC jeudi par le president Sadate, sans mentionner
sa proposition concernant ]a creation d'un gou-
vernement palestinien.
L'absence de reference A cette suggestion est in-
terpretee par les observateurs A Moscou comme un
signe de dCsapprobation du gouvernement sovie-
tique. La proposition du chef de 1'Etat Cgyptien,
estiment les observateurs, va beaucoup plus loin
que Ia position sovietique, exposee it y a un mois
dans la a Pravda o, favorable a ('unification des
organisations de resistance palestiniennes et A la
creation d'un Front national palestinien. Elle ris-
querait, si elle Ctait suivie d'effet, de mettre
1'URSS dans 1'obligation de so pronnncer pour ou
centre la reconnaissance do ce gouvernement.
