Kwame Nkrumah's Soviet-style "Legality."
Ghana's government-appointed polling officials obediently
turned in a 99.9 per cent score for "yes" votes in the signifi-
cant February first referendum. The Convention People's Party
is now designated the "vanguard of the people in their struggle
to build a Socialist society," an almost verbatim copy of the
clause from Article 126 of the Soviet Constitution. No attempt
was made to conceal the coercive nature of the registered ballots
system and the frequent unavailability of the "no" ballot box.
This predicted "victory" gives Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana's President-
for-life, the trappings of legality for future dictatorial de-
cisions, foreshadowed by the December dismissal of the Chief
Justice who acquitted three former officials of a treason charge.
The elimination of an independent judiciary removes the last
facade from Nkrumah's totalitarian "socialist" state.

PROPAGANDIST'S GUIDE TO COMMUNIST DISSENSIONS
#21 18-31 January 1964
Commentary
Principal Developments:
1. While a Yugoslav correspondent in Moscow was reporting
that people there have come to realize that Peking will not cease
its anti-Soviet polemics, and thus Sino-Soviet relations "have
entered a new phase" (Chrono, Jan. 20), the Soviets undertook
some new moves against Peking. They began mass distribution
(domestically, in Russian only, as far as reported) of a new
book (signed to the press in October but evidently withheld
because of the moratorium on polemics) by top CPSU ideologists
vigorously attackin "the anti-Marxist doctrines of the CCP"
(Chrono, Jan 21 Pravda editorial on the 19th omitted mention
of any Asian party (other than Soviet-aligned Mongolia) when
listing 1963 contacts among "the socialist countries" and "their
Marxist-Leninist parties." On the 20th, TASS branded an NCNA
report as "absolutely groundless and nothing but misinformation,"
and on the 30th a Pravda article entitled "Why Mislead?" con-
demned the Chinese for trying to distort the peace initiatives
of the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, in exchange for guaranteed
sugar purchases, Castro signed a joint communique which confirmed
"a complete unity of views" on all questions, including inter-
national affairs and problems of the world Communist movement
(Chrono, Jan 23).
2. The December and January issues of the Soviet-captive,
multilingual, international monthly journal, Problems of Peace
and Socialism'(World Marxist Review in English edition )s which
has posed as the organ of the World Communist Movement, published
several articles signed by Communists from various countries which
clearly support Soviet and attack Chinese positions (Chrono,
Jan. 27). (The Chinese and North Koreans withdrew completely
from the PP&S operation and the Japanese decided to edit their
own edition focally during the past year.)
3. The Chinese, rejoicing in the "tremendous welcome"
given to Chou in 4 more African countries and in the agreement
with the French establishing diplomatic relations, hardly men-
tioned the terms of their dispute with Moscow during this period.
Then in the first few days of February they released several
blockbusters. People's Daily and other Peking press on the 3rd
printed the text of the Pravda "Why Mis ead?" editorial plus a
sardonic reply to it; excer stst from theiew Soviet "anti-China
books" an NCNA announcement of the first of a series of volumes
of anti-China material from the Soviet press;" and a slashing

"editor's note" with the latter, asserting that "over 2000 items
of anti China material" were printed in Russian publications by
Nov. 30. The following day appeared the seventh in the Joint
People's Daily/Red Flag series pegged to the 14 July CPSU open
letter, entitled "The Leaders of the CPSU Are the Greatest
Splitters of Our Times." This 18,000-word blast is the most
direct, insulting challenge yet to Khrushchev and the CPSU
leadership. ee hrono, Addendum, for description of these
pots deadline items.)
4. In two more non-Communist countries, Ceylon and Peru,
pro-Chinese factions set themselves up in formal opposition to
the old "revisionist leadership." In Ceylon, the dissidents
held their own "Seventh Party Congress" Jan. 19-21, formed a new
"Central Committee," and adopted resolutions repudiating Soviet-
line resolutions of the old Party (Chrono, Jan. 25). Much the
same thing happened on Jan. 18 in Peru, where the continuing
struggle between the factions led to-the proclamation of a new
Party organ, Bandera Roja (Red Flag) and the storming of the
offices of the old-line Party daily Vn idad by the pro-Chinese
forces on Jan. 27, with demolition of its installations (Chrono,
Jan. 18-27).
5. A new communique by the North Vietnamese Party con-
firmed its solidly pro-Chinese orientation Chrono, Jan. 21) --
although the Party also dispatched a top-level delegation for
Party talks in Moscow (Jan. 27). Italian CP boss Togliatti
reiterated the PCI's opposition to an early world party conference
and support of a meetings of the parties of Western Europe (Chrono,
Jan. 21). Meanwhile, additional reports from Bucharest demon-
strate the long strides taken by Rumania in the direction of
independence from Soviet domination -- and apparently in a some-
what Westerly direction (Chrono, Jan. 20 and 22).
6. An interesting note of yet undetermined significance
was introduced after the end of the period when Chou was reported
by Edgar Snow as saying in their interview that "we have reached
an agreement with the Soviet Union that negotiations be held an
the Sino-Soviet boundary questions."
Significance:
The Sino-Soviet conflict flared to a new intensity as
the Soviets -- their plea and unilateral moratorium on polemics
having failed to win Chinese reciprocity -- published a few new
propaganda thrusts, ---- only to encounter the most savage Chi-
nese attacks of all, including a taunting dare to the Soviets to
carry out their "threats and intimidation." This new Chinese
onslaught would seem to represent a "last straw," a point-of
no return in the degeneration of relations between the two parties
and states, ---- except that relations have survived a series
of previous attacks which looked like "last straws" in their
turn!

The Soviet polemical thrusts were tin arativel mild,
hackneyed and defensive, and their most spectacular political
success -- the joint communique in which Castro testified to
"complete unity" with them -- was of doubtful value and dura-
bility: not only was it obviously paid for by economic con-
cessions, but at one point it uses the formulation "complete
identity of views as expressed in the joint Soviet-Cuban state-
ment of 23 May 1963," almost as if to remind us of how freely
the Cubans interpreted their "identity" with the Soviets in the
period immediately following Castro's earlier mission to Moscow.
On the other hand, the Chinese gains -- not only in the free
world, with Chou's further personal conquests and de Gaulle's
recognition, but also in the Communist movement, with the estab-
lishment of organized pro-Chinese parties in Ceylon and Peru --
are concrete and probably irreversible, seemingly supporting the
monumental arrogance of their latest polemical blasts. Moscow's
problems in trying to handle relations with the rampaging Chinese
are truly staggering. 25X1C10b

CSBONOLOGY -- COMMUNIST DISSENSIONS
#21 18-31 January 1964
Throughout period - The Chinese delegation headed by Chou En-lei
ro s on through Africa see rono, Dec, 14 and continuing), but
plans and prospects for further visits are upset in wake of re-
volts and mutinies in Zanzibar, Tanganyika, Kenya and Uganda.
Chou's charm reportedly won warm response during the remainder of
his tour of Mali (15-21), in Guinea (21-27), in the Sudan (27-30)
and in Ethiopia from the 30th. He is expected in Somalia on
Feb. 1 for a 3-day stay, but scheduled visits to Kenya and
Tanganyika have been "postponed." It was announced that the post-
ponements were decided by the Chinese, -- but Tanganyika President
Nyerere also canceled his proposed visit to China, and observers
saw the changes as tied to Chinese broadcasts attacking the use
of British troops to put down the mutinies and to indications of
Chinese complicity in the turbulent events. Moscow continued to
avoid direct comment on the Chou trip.
January 18 - An Albanian Zeri I Popullit editorial commenting on
the 8 January joint Alban an- nose declaration capping Chou's
visit coined a new prase In the poem cs: a failure of the
plans of N. chev against our country proved to the world
that modern revisionism, like imperialism, is a 'paper tiger."'
Ehrushchev's rev sons group as stopped at nothing, iti says:
"it has gone so far as to plot against our country, sometimes in
a hidden or indirect manner and sometimes directly. It has acted
in the same manner against the CPR." Etc.
January 18-27 - On January 18-19, the pro-Chinese faction of the
Peruvian held its own congress at which ey ,expelVW several
old guard pro-Soviet Party leaders and "elected new leadership."
At a press conference several days later, Dr. Saturnino Paredes,
"newly elected First Secretary," states that his group "will
staunchly defend Marxist-Leninist principles" and supports Fidel
Castro. At the same time, Victor Acosta, Secretary General of
the old PCP issues a statement belittling the importance of the
rebel group. On January 27 the pro-Chinese storm the building
housing the old Party's daily Unidad and demolish the installa-
tions. (Local press and radio -reports, plus NCNA.)
January 19 - A Pravda editorial pegged to the continuing Castro
visit extolls the visits of delegations and the personal meetings
walks between leaders as "the good tradition furthering the
strengthening of friendship" of "the socialist countries their
Marxist-Leninist parties, and fraternal coup res. then re-
counts such fraternal contacts curing a pas year, including
specific reference to all contacts involving, in addition to Cuba,
the CEMA countries -- including Mongolia -- and Yugoslavia -- but
with no mention of any parties of Asia. On the same ay the major
Chinese papers publish a long excerpt from the December issue of
the Japanese 's theoretical and political journal Zenei entitled

to "refute the slanderous attacks on the Chinese CP by Noboro Sato
and other renegades o e Jup,

Party o eir own T even National Congress" in Colombo Jan-
uary 19-21, elect a new "Central Committee," declare themselves
to be the CCP, and repudiate several resolutions of the old ty
leadership ich had favored the Soviet, Yugoslav, anti-Stalin
line and had condemned the Albanians and the Chinese line. All
Chinese papers prominently feature the story on the 25th.
January 20 - Belgrade Borba carries an article by its Moscow
correspondent Bayalski ating that people in Moscow think that
relations between the USSR and China have entered a new phase'
Mat they realize by now that eking is unwilling to give up its
anti-Soviet polemics, that they sharply criticize Chinese
behavior, and they believe that the dispute will continue for a
long time to come. Bayalski goes on to say that the Soviet leader-
ship is not yet decided whether it should continue to refrain from
countering the Chinese attacks, explaining that "this, of course,
is an intricate problem ... and one must always consider not only
the interests of the CPSU and the Soviet Union, but those of all
socialist countries and of the international Communist movement.
This is how people here explain the fact that the Soviets have
refrained from polemics." Tass takes exception to a 12 January
NCNA report on the return to na o ou Hung-ching, the
n erpreter of a Chinese delegation who had defected in Tokyo
in October, which "contends that Chou was forcibly detained for
several hours at the USSR Embassy in Japan, despite alleged
appeals ... by representatives of the Japanese public and also
by the Japanese authorities." This statement, Tass declares,
"is absolutely oundless and is nothin but misinformation of
up bl c opinion.- a same me, ass announces A "a new
group of Chinese specialists has arrived at Dubna .. to work at
the Joint Institute of Nuclear Research.... The group of Chinese
workers at the institute is now the most numerous of all ire groups
of people's democratic countries."
January 20 and 22 - New York Times carries two articles by its
Bucharest correspondent Binder summing up numerous developments
in Rumania's "Independence Drive," which "a Western observer des-
cribes as e- uss ca on u the discreet official of the
Gheorghiu-De regime prefer to term 'Rumanification."' The biggest
single change came last autumn with the a'abolit the Maxim
Gorky Institute of Russian Language and Literature, which had
been a center of Soviet educational influence," and Russian was
eliminated as a compulsory language in the schools. 90 percent
of the contents of Lumea, the weekly magazine which replaces the
Rumanian edition of-Moscow's New Times (see Chrono, Dec. 27-30),
are said to be reprints from Western publications. A guide
pointed to a razed area filled with rubble and said simply: "That
was the Russian bookstore." The Russian names of several shops
and movie houses have been changed to Rumanian. Foreign trade
statistics disclose that Rumania's commerce with Western countries
grew from 20% to 33% of the total during the last 4 years, and
the press is publicizing the presence of Western concerns in the
country. Etc.

East German CC Secretary Honecker issued a statement obse-
quiously pra sing "the Soviet Union (which) has become the basis
of the whole world socialist system." On the other extreme, the
Albanian Zeri I Popullit editorial included some of the most
vitriolic attacks to date on "the splitting and sapping activity
engaged in by the N. Khrushchev group to revise and discredit
Marxism-Leninism," on its "demagogy and intrigue," its "capitula-
tion," "treason," and "blackmail." The only Rumanian comment we

Meanwhile, correspondents in Moscow reported (Radio Belgrade

book, appearing quietly under the innocuous title Conversations
on Political Topics, vigorously attacks the anti- s doctrines

eTc itors p of chief CPSU ideologist Ilyichev and released for

a si nal that Soviet patience with the Chinese was exhausted
and the CPSU as ec e to hit back once more. a rs print-
ng is-in 200,000 copes, apparently in Russian only.
January 23 - Castro's 10-day visit with IChrushchev concluded with
a long-term agreement covering Soviet purchase of Cuban sugar at
guaranteed prices and a joint communique which declared that "a
complete unity of views was confirmed on all the questions dis-
cussed," which Included nterna onal problems of interest to
both sides and urgent question on a world Communist and
workers movement.- Later In the communique, the formulation was:
"complete Ident ty of views as expressed in the joint Soviet-Cuban
statement of 23 May 1963." In amplifying on this "identity of
views," the communique states that Cuba "considers the success
achieved by the Soviet Union in the struggle for the cessation of
nuclear tests... is a step forward toward peace and disarmament," thus contradicting the strong Chinese attack on the test-ban
treaty and possibly indicating Cuba's intent to sign. It also
says that Castro "stated the support" of Cuba for Khrushchev's
new proposal for a treaty renouncing the use o orce in terri-
torial disputes, The Soviet press exulted: av a s editorial
on the ca led the communique "a documento of enormous
significance ... impregnated from beginning to end by the complete
unity of views" of the two parties and governments.
January 25 - An Albanian Zeri IIPPopuullit editorial, "The Voyage to
Africa and Albania by Comm a chou sn-Tai and the Reaction of the
Titoists," begins by denouncing the Tito gang for its violent
reaction to the Chou visit but soon goes on to its main thrust:
"While the Tito gang launched open attacks against the k an-'ic
its peace policy with the aim of obscuring ... the great inter-
national role of China, the other modern revisionists organized a
conspiracy of silence regarding a historic visit by the Premier
of the CPR tats council. Why this silence ... ?11 zjp,s answer:
My cannot reconcile themselves to Chinese policy which "unmasks
their anti-Leninist pacifist concept of peaceful coexistence....
Furthermore, the revisionists cannot norm u c opinion in their
countries, about the great success of the visit of the Chinese
government delegation to Africa, for this would cause new troubles
and new anxieties. It would show how defamatory., untruthful and
absurd-is their propaganda against the CPR...."
January 27 - Brief releases from Hanoi and Peking announce the
deparTure of a top-ranking delegation of North Vietnamese Commu-
nists, led by Fir's Secretary Le Duan, for party talks with the
QSU in Moscow. Hanoi says only that they ~~woouu11ldCCh"exchai1nge views...

The North Korean Party organ Nodong Sinmun carries a 15,?w-
word article entitled o High the Revolutionary Banner of
National Liberation," which, like their similar effort on October
28, comprehensively presents Chinese views tailored to represent
the interests of a smaller nation. It goes out of the way to
denounce "the Dange group of the API" and "some people calling
themselves Communists" who support and praise them.
New York Times writer Harry Schwartz reviews an article
in the December issue of World Marxist Review (English-language
edition of Problems of Peace an Socialism, ' a Soviet-supported,
Prague-based, mu - ngua monthly ournal,by Luis Corvalan,
General Secretary of the Chilean CP, which sharply attacks, the
Chinese Communists for trying to force the Castro ofrevolu-
on on the OUTO-ans who are dedicated to a policy of non-
violent revolution. The letter reveals that the Chinese CP sent
"a recent letter" to the Chilean CP with this aim, c u d
the statement:
"In Latin America the 'peaceful way' which you
advocate stands in sharp contrast to the revolu-
tionary way of Fidel Castro and the other comrades
who led the Cuban people to victory."
The last issue of our Chronology reported a Reuters Moscow dis-
patch (Jan. C) reporting that the lead article in the January
issue of PP &S, signed by a Czech, a Canadian and a Syr'-
attackingie Chinese press for recognizing dissident splinter
groups as "genuine communist revolutionaries," and a subsequent
report has described another anti-Chinese article in the same
issue by Jaime Peras, Secretary of the Uruguayan CP.
January 30 - Pravda features an "Observer" article entitled "Why
sea f"""which protests that, while the Khrushchev proposal for
an international treaty renouncing the use of force in territorial
disputes has been published, welcomed and given serious study in
most countries of the world, the Chinese press organs have not
published it or any of the world reaction to it but "take it
upon themselves to comment on these documents and even to make
an assessment of them." It asks: "Why mislead the Chinese
people and turn them against the Sov a people?" Observer com-
plains:"It is as ifin na they prefer to hand newspaper
readers rea -made assertions and assessments .... IT on the same
day, the nese press features a harshly taunting article from
the December issue of the Malayan Monitor, London-published
organ of the Malayan CP, which says that "everywhere the modern
revisionists have suffered a crushing defeat in the great debate,
thanks to the staunch and well-prepared efforts of the anti-
revisionist leadership and ranks of the Communist and workers
parties of the world, in particular the CCP, the Albanian Workers
Party the eP's of Korea, Indonesia, the DRV,' etc. It taunts

that both Khrushchev and Tito are now in the same ideological
camp -- openly and eves defiantly."

in the four days immediately following the close
of our reporting period, we are attaching this
Addendum to include some reference to them.)
February 2 - In an interview granted in Conakry, Guinea, to
sympathetic correspondent Edgar Snow, Chou En-lai is quoted as
saying: "We have reached an agreement with the-Soviet Union

China Materials from the Soviet Prress' goes on sale-
throughout na today,," together w the text of the
preface to the volume by the editorial board of the
World Culture Publishing House. It says that, "accord-
ing to incomplete statistics, by 30 Nov. over 2000 items
of anti-China material of all descriptions... had been
printed In 26 national papers and periodicals and 23
local papers and periodicals in the Soviet Union."
A Pee lets Daily "editor's note" which says that, "since
N. ru ev, leader of the CPSU, proposed 'an end
to polemics' on 25 October 1963, the Soviet press has
continued its anti-China propaganda right along." It
points particularly to excerpts from the "more than
gan these pages. tt "eople can Mislead" see rom this Pravda article pub-
lished
that the CPSU leader's proposal for 'an end to
public polemics is only,: a fraud, perpetrated for
ulterior motives. a propaganda in the book". it says,
"is nothing SU-stale, trite phraseology," and the
Pravda article "is even more ridiculous."
"As for the reprimand in Pravda to the effect
that the Chinese press has not published
;Qhrushchev's letter of 31 December to the heads
of governments, we can candidly say to the CPSU
leadership, what is your hurry? We will deal
with it, and will comment on it, too. A Chinese
ppubliShing house is already m-RS ing up volumes of
your anti-China articles for successive issuance.
A road must be traveled step by step, and a bill
of accounts must be settled item by item. W

impatient?"
February 4 - The seventh in the series of joint People's Daily/
Red Flag articles r ng to the14 July PSU open letter is
published by the nese. Inasmuch as We re- ._vec: oa ;Tan English
language NCNA summary by our deadline, we will comment on it
only tentatively now and follow up with a more complete analysis
in our next installment. Entitled "The Leaders of the C?SU Are
the Greatest Splitters of Our Times," the article begins by
declaring unequivocally that "the leaders of the PSU headed by
rushchev have become the chief representatives of mo ern
revisionism as well as the greatest splitters in the iff'e-rnational
Communist movement." It defines splittism as follows: "Splittism
means to split with Marxism-Leninism.' Anyone who opposes and
betrays Marxism-Leninism and undermines the basis o proletarian
unity is a sp er.... Anyone who persists in a revisionist line
and turns a revolutionary proletarian party Into a reformist
bourgeois party is a Witter.... The splitters in the Communist
ranks are those who, to meet the needs of the bourgeoisie, split
with Marxism-Leninism,... and they remain splitters even when for

r er, I-Ir the Cebu leaders insist on marking o e majority'
from the 'minority,' we would like to tell them quite frankly
that we do not recognize their majority."
Wallowing deeper in murky "clarifications," the article
says that "opportunism and revisionism are the political and
ideological roots of splittism, and splittism is the organiza-
tional manifestation of opportunism and revisionism. It can
also be said that opportunism and revisionism are splittism as
well as sectarianism. The revisionists are the greatest and
vilest splitters and sectarians in the Communist movement."
In direct incitement to revolt in the USSR, the article
recalls the many errors in domestic and ore gn policies of the
C?SU leadership and says: "The actions of the leaders of the
CPSU have brought deep shame upon a great Soviet Union and
the and seriously damaged the fundamental interests of the
Soviet people, is none other than the leaders of the CPSU
headed y , rush ev who are anti-Soviet."
Before closing, the article predicts "the eventual burial"
of the revisionists, taunts Khrushchev on his fraudulent call
for an en to polemics ("What sort o games are you playing,
saying one thing at one time and another thing at another?"),
and dares the Soviets to make good on their "outright threat
and in m a aon In the Soviet Government statement of eptem-
er which declared that the Chinese face "the most resolute
rebuff from the CPPSU and the Soviet people" if they continue the
polemics: "Do you really believe that other people are bound
docilely to obey your orders and tremble at your roar? To be
frank, ever since 21 September we have been eagerly waiting to
see wha .e mos resolute rebuff would be."

730. The Lot of the Soviet Citizen
25X1ClOb
BACKGaOTJ D: Economic development requires investment in
plants and acfiines, and this means saving, i.e., foregoing a
certain amount of immediate consumption in the expectation of
greater returns in the future. But the ratio of saving to
consumption is not fixed or automatic, and is not determined
by purely economic forces. In some places, the pressures
a g a I n s t saving (or reckless consumption) have hampered
development. In others saving has been exalted into an article
of faith and a tool of power: suc s the case with the SS,.
Communist slogans suggest that the goal of Marxism-Lenin-
ism is the welfare of the ordinary citizen. In practice, however,
the main goal of Soviet planning has been to maintain and to
enhance the power of the CPSU and its leaders. By any objective
standard, the collectivization of agriculture has been a failure;
some Soviet experts foresaw the difficulties, even before col-
lectivization was introduced. But Stalin wanted to rule the
peasants, not negotiate with them. Now the prestige of the party,
as well as a large part of its power, is linked to the collective
system.
In industry, the policy of developing capital goods and
military production has served the power interests of the Kremlin,
w a n preferred to rely on secret police and anus rather than
appease popular demands or reach accommodations with foreign
powers (except Nazi Germany). Stalin's terrorism was too vicious
and self-defeating to last, and steel production is (as
Ihrushchev has admitted) no longer the yardstick of political
power: there are other weapons now besides the steel-eating
cruisers, tanks, howitzers, and H3 shells. But PSU prestige
is still invested in Stalin's system of plans, quotas, and norms,
and the new weapons require vast new investments in materials
and technical skills. Also, the planners continue to bow before
the old idols of dams and blast furnaces, partly out of habit.
Khrushchev tries to appease the Soviet consumer with words and
sometimes even with deeds, but his plans and programs still pro-
vide for industrial output to grow faster than consumer goods.
As shortages continue, he explains that consumers must defer to
the needs of national defense against the supposedly aggressive
imperialists.
Years of neglect of consumer goods, housing, and services
cannot De remedied overnight. s e a tached materials show,
Soviet housing is behind schedule and shoddy in quality; cuts
in working hours and increases in take-home pay have been post-
poned; the growth rate in consumer goods is falling off; and
bread is getting grayer. On 1 June 1962, even before the 1963
crop failure, ricer for meat and butter increased 30 per cent
and 25 per cent respectively. The failures of agriculture

hamper the production of textiles and other consumer goods, as
well as that of food. It is noteworthy that although the
October Revolution is now 47 years behind us, the Soviet citi-
zen has yet to enjoy his share of his nation's production. The
production of consumer goods fell from 60.5 per cent of total
production in 1928 to 31.2 per cent in 1950, less than 26
per cent in 1960 and 25 per cent in 1963; at the 22nd Congress,
thrushchev promised that henceforth industrial growth would
only be 20 per cent more rapid than growth in consumer goods
production -- instead of being 70 per cent higher, as heretofore.

739. Chicoms Seek to Break Isolation
25X1C10b
BACKGROUND: Communist China has recently taken several
steps to re out of a self-imposed isolation characterized
by a hard, inflexible attitude and by aggressive actions toward
neighbors. This Chicom change of tactics is apparently based
on conclusions drawn from the Sino-Soviet dispute and her posi-
tion vis-a-vis the non-Communist world, Tactical decisions of
the Chinese Communist regime are intimately affected by the
nature and extent of her ambitions and also by her arrogance.
Communist China aspires not only to leadership of the world
Communist movement and not only to a prominent role in world
affairs, but to the d o m i n a n t position in both worlds.
There is ample evidence of this aspiration in the Great Leap
Forward -- an attempt to convert, in a few short years, a back-
ward, inefficient, undisciplined agricultural society with
practically no industrial base, into the most powerful nation
on earth. That they should attempt it at all is testimony of
their driving ambition; that they should persist in the attempt,
despite warnings of their friends and overwhelming economic
knowledge and experience accrued by Marxist and non-Marxist
countries alike, provides an accurate gauge of their arrogance,
While the whole effort failed miserably, they have never
renounced it and have even shown signs that they may try it
again some day.
CC? Gains Against the CPSU. The Chinese Communists have
made headway in e r quarrel with the Soviet Union. They have
successfully captured the initiative in the Communist Parties
of Asia (See guidance item 730, 13 January 1964); they are now
ready for an intensified attack against the CPSU's hegemony
within the other Communist Parties of the world, having already
had some success in these activities. The Italian CP newspaper,
L'Unita, has said that Peking "supports fractionist groups in
Belgium., France, Greece, Switzerland and Italy." There are pro-
Chinese splinter groups in the British and Austrian Communist
Parties and Chinese sympathizers in Scandinavia. In Latin
America there are dissidents in Argentina, Chile, Colombia,
Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Venezuela, and there is a dissi-
dent C? in Brazil. The Chinese Communists have also been active
in the Communist international front groups: they first try
to take over the front and, failing this, attempt to split it
(see guidance item 711, 13 November 1953). All of these activ-
ities are aimed at displacing the CPSU as leader of the world
Communist camp.
To this end, the Chicoms have created a vast propaganda
app aratus. They have expanded their International ra io road-
ca.s ing acilities: Radio Peking now uses 27 short wave
Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78~03861~$$ Do 56003-3

transmitters to carry daily programs even in such languages as
Swahili, Tamil and Hausa, in addition to extensive programming
in all the major languages of the world. There are reports
that the Chicoms are paying the bill to expand Radio Tirana
(Albania) into a large international broadcasting center to
carry the Chinese line to Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
The New China News Agency has more than 50 offices in all parts
of the world and is still expanding. The Peking Review, which
started life as a simple vehicle to inform ra erna parties of
domestic Mainland developments, has become an organ supporting
Communist China's campaign for leadership of the Communist bloc.
It is printed in English, French, Spanish and Japanese (See
guidance item 708, 4 November 1963).
The second conclusion apparently drawn by the Chicoms
concerns their position and relationships with the non-Communist
world. The CPSU and its adherents (as we as the non- ommunis
world) have used China's hard line in general and her position
on the nuclear-test treaty in particular to isolate China and
publicize her image as an implacable advocate of violence and
nuclear war. To change this image and to gain access to denied
areas, the Chinese Communists have undertaken an extensive
campaign supported by the propaganda network mentioned above
and supplemented by such other tactics as Chou En-lai's recent
tour of Africa. Chou, in his public appearances, is impressing
the Africans with his "reasonableness" and his "understanding"
of Africa's problems (See guidance item 734, 27 January 1964).
It is safe to guess that in some of his private conversations
he is discussing China's correctness in the Sino-Soviet dispute.
At this juncture, the CPR's most prominent success is
deGaulle's recognition and agreement to exchange ambassadors.
It is to be expected that ? in the near future, Communist China
will intensify her efforts to get recognition from other Western
and uncommitted governments and to snow-ball herself into ad-
mission into the United Nations. One tactic that can be anti-
cipated is the bait of China's "vast market of 700 million
people," coupled with the threat that those who come first will
receive the most favors in negotiating trade agreements.
It is too early to predict what will happen on the ques-
tion of China's admission to the United Nations or even how
many countries will follow France's lead and grant ?eking dip-
lomatic recognition. It seems probable, for the immediate
future, that Communist China will continue all activities con-
tributing to her dual image as best suited to leadership of the
world Communist movement and, at the same time, as destined to
become the leader of an alliance of Asian, African, and Latin
American countries.

BACKGROUND: Khrushchev Slows Down. On 17 April 1964,
Khrushchev will be 70 years old, and overdue for retirement. The
Communist custom of celebrating multiple 5th and 10th anniversa-
ries and their unprecedented propaganda ballyhoo on the occasion
of Stalin's 70th birthday (21 December 1949) make this an apt
occasion for another major effort. Khrushchev has outlived the
expected life span of Soviet males (64.0 years) and has reached
the decades where the incidence of death is highest. Only one
US President has served in the White House past his 70th birthday
--Eisenhower in his last year. That Khrushchev is slowing down
is shown by the record of his speech-making. He made formal
speeches 24 times in 1958, 29 times in 1959, 21 times in 196b, 33
times in 1961, 15 times in 1962, and 14 times in 1963. His latest
pictures show-an older, thinner man than the hard-drinking, shoe-
banging activist of the late 1950's. On 24 April 1963, shortly
after his last birthday, Khrushchev gave a speech in which he
suggested that perhaps he was considering retirement--or perhaps
that others had suggested it, and he had refused to agree.
(Texts of this and other statements referred to in this guidance
are contained in an unclassified attachment, "Khrushchev Speaks,"
The texts are referred to in this section by parenthetical numbers.
25X1C10b
The Ends Justice the Means. All politicians occasionally
contradict themselves, or fail to carry out promises. Khrushchev
has, however, an almost unparalleled record for inconsistency and
failure to perform. In 1961, in the midst of a denunciation of
Stalin, Khrushchev approved of a "proposal" for A monument to the
victims of Stalin, including the former Ukrainian leaders,
Postyshev and Kosior. (2) Actually, Khrushchev himself had been
a member, together with Molotov and NKVD chief Yezhov, of a
Special Commission sent by Stalin in August 1937 to wipe out
Ukrainian nationalism. In January 1938, it was Khrushchev Who
replaced Postyshev as alternate member of the Politburo, and
Kosior as First Secretary of the Ukrainian Central Committee. On
26 May of that year, Khrushchev stated that "the peoples of the
Soviet Union rejoice that they have uprooted this foul, abominable,
treacherous gang, the loathsome Trotskyite-Bukharinite bandits,
that they have eradicated and exterminated them under the leader-
ship of our great Stalin, under the leadership of our Nikolai
Ivanovich Yezhov." (also 3,4) On 19 June 1938, a new Central
Committee was elected for the Ukraine; only three men (less than
three per cent) remained unpurged from the 1937 Central Committee.
Khrushchev's Ukrainian purge outdid Stalin's purg of the A11-
Union Central Committee: _there 16J per cent of the Central Com-
mittee members elected in 1934 were re-elected in 1939,

(740 Cont.) ww~ 10 February 1964
Some grisly remnants of the Ukrainian purges were discovered
during the World War II German occupation: in 1943, a Ukrainian
doctor at Vinnitsa uncovered 95 mass graves containing 9,439
victims, shot in the back of the neck. Relatives identified some
of the bodies as persons arrested for "nationalism" in late 1937
and 1938, and medical experts concluded that the deaths occurred
between 1938 and 1940, that is during the period of Khrushchev's
rule.
It is charitable to assume that Khrushchev acted only to
save his own neck, and it is pleasant to note that he has repudi-
ated Stalin's methods. It is not true, however, that he rejected
Stalin as soon as the old man was dead. While Premier, Georgi
Malenkov pioneered in urging more emphasis on consumer goods, and
in saying that a new world war would mean "the destruction of
world civilization." But Khrushchev took up the cudgels for heavy
industry, attacking "right deviationists" (i.e., Malenkov) in the
old Stalinist style. (5) At that time, Khrushchev did his best
to identify himself and his allies (such as Molotov and Bulganin)
with Stalin, so that a biographical article described him in
March 1955 as "one of the closest comrades-in-arms of J.V. Stalin,"
and Khrushchev himself praised Bulganin in the same terms in a
speech of 8 February 1955. One year later, as everyone now knows,
Khrushchev denounced Stalin in a secret speech at the 20th CPSU
Congress; within four years, Khrushchev revealed that Bulganin
was a member of the "anti-Party group."
Prophecies and Promises: An Economy of Abundance for the
People. Since 1955, Khrushchev has made many promises about
catching up with the West. On 22 May 1957, in Leningrad, he
promised to catch up with the United States in milk production
by 1958, involving an increase of 40 per cent. (6) Thanks to the
excellent 1958 conditions, an increase of 19 per cent was actually
achieved; in the four years after 1958, only a further 5 per cent
was gained, according to Soviet statistics. When this speech was
republished in a series of collected speeches in 1962, the spe-
cific prophecy was omitted, and he was only said to have stated
that the USSR could overtake the US "in the next few years."
Reporting an the CPSU program at the 22nd CPSU Congress in 1961
Khrushchev predicted that industrial output would increase six-
fold, and agricultural output two and one half times by 1980.
Thus industrial output, the star performer of Soviet statistics,
was to increase by an average of 9 to 10 per cent throughout the
period. Yet industrial output, according to a Soviet economist
(Valentin Kudrov), was down to 8.5 per cent in 1963 from a 1962
9.5 per cent. (Western analysts believe that all Soviet indus-
trial output figures are inflated by double counting -- e.g.,
counting both a machine and the steel used to make it -- and in
other ways, and that non-military industrial output for 1963 was
about 7 per cent. See also Peter Wiles, "Western Research into
the Soviet Economy," Survey, January 1964, p. 76; Wiles believes
most private Western analysts would put the annual average for
1959 and 1961 at 7 per cent.) Despite this 1963 drop, and de-

spite a decline in industrial investment since 1959, twenty-year
industrial growth could still--in terms of Soviet statistics--
reach an average of 9 to 10 per cent per year. But in agri-
culture, the twenty-year program must already--in its third year
--be regarded as a lost cause. A Pravda article of 13 January
stated that agricultural output for 1963 was 50 per cent higher
than in 1952: this "good-sounding" statistic, when compared with
other Soviet figures, indicates that the 1963 harvest was 9 per
cent below the 1962 level, which was itself a mediocre year. In
fact this 1963 harvest is below any year since 1957, when Khru-
shchev gained full control of the Soviet government. Although
nearly half of Khrushchev' s 1958-63 speeches have been on agri-
culture and related affairs, agriculture has not advanced. Since
Stalin's death, the plowed and sown area in the so-called Virgin
Lands increased 410 per cent, but output for this area for 1963
was only 48 per cent greater than in 1953; the yield per hectare
fell from 8.7 quintals to 3.1 quintals. Over the decade, yields
averaged 6.3 quintals, while the target set by Khrushchev and the
Central Committee had been 10 to 11 quintals. Actually, it is
largely Khrushchev's campaign approach to agriculture, his peddling
of one panacea after another and in particular, his attempt to
gain rapid results by plowing without fertilizing, that have
brought about the current agricultural difficulties.

country with a government based on Parliament and elections by
secret ballot. Through the inherent diligence of its people,
the trademark "Bade in Czechoslovakia" became known and respected
in all corners of the globe. Heavy and precision machinery,
textiles, shoes, glass, costume jewelry, as well as the excellent
Pilsen beer and Prague hams, were as easily found in Hong Kong
as in Buenos Aires.
Following the years of Nazi occupation, the people of
Czechoslovakia were delivered into the "Soviet sphere of influ-
ence" as a result of WWII developments. The implied threat of
Soviet military intervention greatly helped the Czechoslovak
Communist Party in seizing control in 1948. After a period in
which the Communists consolidated their power, condemning 60,000
people to exile and additional thousands to prison and to the
gallows, Czechoslovakia became totally subjugated to the Soviet
Union, in domestic affairs as well as in international relations.
Once the Czechoslovak Communists had been placed in control,
the Soviet Union lost no time in exploiting the country. Not
only were there valuable natural resources and a highly developed
industry, but its pre-war reputation as a democratic, orderly
nation and a producer of fine goods made Czechoslovakia an excel-
lent carrier for the export of Communism by the Soviet Bloc.
Czechoslovakia became a spearhead for Communist subversion of
underdeveloped areas. Latin America was given high priority
because Soviet representatives are barred in many of these coun-
tries and where the Soviets do maintain diplomatic relations
they are unpopular and closely watched.
The majority of Czechoslovak trade representatives stationed
overseas resigned after the Communist takeover and sought asylum
abroad. Under orders from Moscow the New Czech regime replaced,
the former trade representatives, diplomats and military attaches
with reliable Party cadres. Many individuals sent abroad, even
in a semi-official capacity, had to undergo special training.
The former Czech Military Attache in Washington, Frantisek Tisler,
testified in 1960 that about 45 percent of Czech officials abroad
are trained in espionage and political warfare, and are actually
employed and controlled not by the Ministries of Foreign Affairs
or Foreign Trade, but by the Ministry of Interior (in charge of
secret police and espionage).

The overall scope of Czech efforts in underdeveloped world
areas has grown conspicuously out of proportion to normal econ-
omic or diplomatic activities of so small a country, especially
with domestic economic difficulties publicly admitted by Party
Secretary, Antonin Novotny, and other regime officials. the
Czech regime has followed the universal Communist pattern of
failure in agriculture and industry. Not only have these fail-
ures been visited heavily on the Czech consumer, but the coun-
try's outstanding reputation for reliable products has been
clouded by the export of shoddy goods and resulting complaints
from buyers worldwide. In the face of this, the Czech regime
has continued to give high priority to foreign programs. For
example, the Czechs are believed to have more personnel in Latin
America than the Soviet Union and other Satellites combined; the
demonstrable Czech per ca ita contribution to political activity
abroad is more than twice that of the Soviet Union.

7-2 AF,FE,WH. Cuba's Long-range Sugar Pact With Russia
25X1C10b
BACKGROUND: Fidel Castro's trip to the Soviet Union, 13-23
January , has resulted in a trade pact that will have far-
reaching effects on Cuba's economy. Under the terms of the agree-
ment, Russia will buy the bulk of Cuba's sugar production for a
period of six years at a guaranteed price of six cents a pound.
Cuba, in turn, pledges to deliver a total of 24.1 million tons,
as follows: 2.1 million tons in 1965; 3.0 million tons in 1966;
4.0 million tons in 1967; 5.0 million tons each year in 1968,
1969, and 1970. In order to meet these quotas, Castro hopes to
increase the production of sugar to 10 million tons a year by
1968. This ambitious program contrasts sharply with last year's
production of 3.8 million tons and even with Cuba's highest pro-
duction: 7.2 million tons attained in 1952.
In spite of much speculation, largely stimulated by the ap-
parent suddenness of his departure and the unusual secrecy sur-
rounding the preparations, Castro's trip to the USSR did not come
about as a result of the Panama riots. That Cuban agents partic-
ipated in them, there can be little doubt. But it is almost
equally certain that Castro was as much surprised as the local
Panamanian Communist Party at the sudden manner in which the riots
escalated in magnitude and violence. Castro had probably arranged
for this trip some time before: he is reported to have told a
European visitor late in December that the two could not get to-
gether again until after January, since he was going to be absent
from Cuba during most of that month.
On balance, Castro's trip was something of a diplomatic
triumph, both for him and for Khrushchev. For Castro.. Cuba will
S be assured a stable price for its sugar over a to :.-of six
years. While six cents a pound is only a little oyerlm.lf the
current market price, it is higher than the average of the last
ten years. Castro argues that it is better for Cuba to be as-
sured of a stable price for sugar over a long period of time than
to try to make a few quick profits from momentarily high prices
at the risk of losing later when prices drop.
Sugar prices, since World War II, have fluctuated dispro-
portionately -- by comparison with metals, cotton, beef, grains,
or even coffee -- ranging from less than three to over eleven
cents a pound.
One of the things that Latin American countries have been
crying loudest for, especially the one-crop countries, is a
stable price for their key commodities. They angrily accuse the
United States of paying low prices for raw materials and selling
the finished products at high prices; they claim that manufac-
tured products have steadily risen in price while raw materials

have remained the same. Of course there is enough truth is this
argument to make good propaganda against the U.S. Susceptible
Latin American audiences will be impressed by this aspect of the
trade pact.
The quid pro quo in the deal, at least at the moment, for
Khrushchev, was Castro's support of Moscow in the Sino-Soviet
conflict as spelled out in a joint communique issued at the end
of the visit. Castro endorsed the Soviet interpretation of the
pronouncements of the Moscow Communist ?arty conferences of 1957
and 1960, and specifically approved Soviet measures to strengthen
the unity of the international Communist movement. He further
agreed that Moscow's peaceful coexistence policy has brought
about "a certain easing of international tensions" and somewhat
belatedly sided with the Soviets on the nuclear test ban treaty. 25X1C1Ob

Methods of Subversion. Large numbers of Zanzibari students
went abroad -- ma n y o ast Europe and China but also to
Cuba -- for education of the Communist variety. AbdukrE.',man
Mohamed "Babu," kingpin of the revolution and now Foreign Min-
ister, personally selected many of the students who travelled
through Cairo -- many illegally -- to the Communist training
schools. Trade union officials and scores of potential leaders
tapped by the Communist World Federation of- Trade Unions
received special training courses; the Secretary of the Zanzibar
Federation of Progressive Trade Unions was trained in Peking.
The Havana office of the Zanzibar Nationalist Party (ZNP)
received "students," trained them in guerrilla warfare tactics
and later directed them against the legally elected government
of the newly independent Zanzibar which included the ZNP.

from Zanzibar was at a virtual standstill and the nature of
the revolt unclear, France Observateur carried an article by
Jacques Verges, Revoluti n' publisher, titled "Chinese Victory

Political Moves included familiar united front tactics
whereby a u s mma party cooperated with the trade unions and
the ASp in opposition to the coalition government of mid-1963.
By so doing, they not only strengthened the anti-government
opposition but played upon -- and ultimately directed toward
revolution -- both the genuine nationalism and the African
racialism of the ASP. Following the coup, Karume of the AS?
was installed as president of the people's Republic, probably
because of his popular following. A power struggle still
appears undecided but Babu is believed to be the strongman of
the government. Soviet-sponsored Communist fronts have pro-
vided means of contacting, training an inane na g individuals
for seizing organizational power, for spreading thinly-disguised
propaganda and for increasing local front memberships. The
Cairo ZT? office had close contacts with the Cairo AAPSO office
which in turn had direct ties with Moscow and ?eking. (See Ref 4).,

744 AF,g. AAPSO Interest in the organization of African Unity
25X1C10b
BAC4SGROUND: Afro-Asian Peoples Solidarity Organization
(AAPS?, an o~ soot of the Communist-controlled World peace
Council, was established in 1057 with Headquarters in Cairo os-
tensibly to coordinate the efforts of the Afro-Asian countries
in developing their economic and cultural resources. By 1360
the control of the Organization was firmly in the hands of the
vino-Soviet Bloc. Representatives of the Soviet Union and Com-
munist China supported by Communist party members from Asian
countries and Communist lining members of African revolutionary
movements have since a me held worn ng majorities on a
policy making and action bodies of the organization (i.e. the
Executive Committee, the Fund Committee, and the Permanent
Secretariat).
The Permanent Secretariat is funded almost entirely by
equal annual contributions from the Soviet Union, Communist China,
and the UAR. Small donations from other members are inconse-
quential. The Fund Committee, responsible for doling out
material aid to -revolutionary movements, is under the direction
of three officers: Ismail Toure, president, Chu Tzu-chi of
China and Mehdi Den Barka of Morocco, Vice Presidents. Inasmuch
as both Ismail Toure and Mehdi Ben Barka have consistently fol-
lowed the Chinese line at both the Committee and Secretariat
level, the Fund Committee is in fact under Chinese control. At
the October 1963 meeting of this Committee, Ismail Toure thanked
the Chinese for their contributions and singled them out as the
only members that had completely fulfilled their obligations to
the Fund Committee.
Since the Communists took over control of the Organization,
the major AAPSO objective has been to liquidate all traces of
colonialism and neo-colonialism in Africa and Asia. To this
end, AA?uO material and propaganda support has been directed
toward militant revolutionary groups in still dependent countries
and toward radical pro-Communist opposition parties in countries
whose governments are not willing to line up with the Communist
Bloc. The AA?SO has supported among others the exiled pro-
Communis Union des-Populations merounaises (UPC) in its
efforts to overthrow President Ahidjo in the Cameroun Republic,
the Sawaba Party against ?resident Diori of Niger, and the
Union Nationale des Forces Populaires (UNFP) against wing Iiassan
of Morocco. It has promoted the Oginga Odinga wing of the
Kenya African National Union, Oscar Xambona in Tanganyika,
Congress Party for Independence of Madagascar and the Communist-
controlled African National Congress in South Africa.

the Communist-dominated AAPSO to direct the policy of the AA?C

it has become an object of major interest to e E S?. Dis-
cussions of how best to collaborate with the Committee of Nine
have taken place at all levels in AAPSO policy circles. The
matter has received careful attention at Secretariat meetings,
at Fund Committee meetings, and at the Executive Committee meet-
ing of September 1963. These discussions have resulted in an
AXPSO decision that "collaboration" is essential between the
two organizations interested in aiding liberation movements in
Africa, that is the AA..?SO and the Committee of Nine.
It is too soon to see whether the AAP O will be successful
in effecting a liaison with the Committee of Nine but indications
are that the AA?SO will certainly press in this direction in
the coming months. >Turther, some AA?SO leaders (e.g. Oscar
