I, Canada
2. France-USSR
? a. With the Social Ckedit
Party throwing its 30 votes in with
the Liberals (99) votes, Diefenbaker
faces certain defeat on the no con-
fidence vote which comes up at this
evening's parliamentary session.
b. New elections will then be
held 60 days hence.
c. Diefenbaker may still dis-
solve parliament beforehand to avoid
being voted out, but either way the
result is the same.
a. Our Embassy in Paris feels
that the typically ham-fisted Soviet
demarche of 29 January to De Gaulle
makes it clear there has been no
behind-the-scenes talk between Paris
and Mbscow.

b.
discounts the possibility that it is
a smoke-screen.
3. West Germany- a. As party lines are drawn?
EEC for the Bundestag debate in foreign
policy which opens tomorrow, only
Erhard among top German leaders has
spoken out firmly against early rat-
ification of the Franco-German treaty.
Others, wanting the best of both
worlds are, however, seeking ways to
? reduce its impact on the Western al-
liance.(

4. Cuba
a. Two top veteran Cuban Com-
munists have used last week's anni-
versary of Jose Marti's birthday as
the occasion to add their voices to
those of Castro and Bias Roca urging
revolution as the only answer for
Latin America.
b. In so doing, both Carlos
Rafael Rodriquez, Castro's agricul-
ture chief, and Juan Marinello rector
of Havana University, focussed again
on Betancourt as the pkime target.

5. -Brazil
d. Havana radio, taking up the
call, has become increasingly blunt
in broadcasts beamed to central and-
South America which appeal for sup-
port of guerrilla action or armed
insurrection. In addition to Vene-
zuela, Chile and the Dominican Re-
public are current favorite targets,
although others are not overlooked.
e. Soviets continue to operate
the surface-to-air missile sites
a. A test of leftist and right-
ist political strength is shaping up
in the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies
over re-election of conservative
Ranieri Mazzilli as president of the
chamber.
b. Ultra-nationalist Leonel
Brizola, fashioning himself spokesman
for the extreme left, has begun cam-
paigning against Mazzilli, whose
election would put him first in line
of succession to Goulart.

NOTES
A. Togo ?The Monrovia commission to investigate the
situation in Togo has so far accomplished nothing
except to push Grunitzky into the arms of Ghana.
Prospects now are that this will be about all that
it will achieve. Two of the five members have backed
out and efforts now are being made to bury the com-
mission quickly and quietly before it does any further
damage.
B. Hungary Our Legation in Budapest has received
several firm indications that prisoners of the 1956
revolt are about to be given amnesty and released.
D. Singapore Security authorities in Singapore antici-
pate a general strike in the city within the next 10
days following last weekend's far from complete
roundup of key leftists.
E. France A top Quai official, when we asked him
about it, said. Pompidou definitelyWAS not going to
Warsaw and, Prague as had previously been rumored:
(Checklist 1 February).
