DAILY BRIEF
21 JUNE 1967
1. Arab States -
Israel
An atmosphere of tension is still
being maintained in the Egyptian capital
with all press media banging away on the
theme of eventual victory over Israel.
Nasir has made no public appearance
since 10 June, but presumably will be on
hand to greet Soviet President Podgorny
when he arrives in Cairo today. Podgorny's
visit is another gesture to dramatize
Moscow's support for the Arabs.
Such support, incidentally, could
get expensive if the Russians try to re-
place all the equipment lost by the Arabs.
We estimate this bill would run some-
where near $500 million. Closure of the
Suez Canal is also going to cost the So-
viets about $11 million a month in in-
creased shipping charges.

2. Aden
3. Greece
4. Hong Kong
Fighting flared again this morn-
ing after a night of sporadic shooting.
The trouble started yesterday when
British-trained Arab troops mutinied
following the dismissal of some of
their officers.
The British hold the upper edge,
but there was some nasty fighting yes-
terday. This action triggered a gen-
eral strike.
Cairo's open calls for destruc-
tion of the US and British positions
in the Middle East have done nothing
to help things.
The colony's Communists are find-
ing it hard to keep the pot boiling.
Despite a bitter poster campaign
against the British, repeated calls
for strikes,
the average Hong
Kong Chinese just does not seem to
care. Business activity remains near
normal. The Communists have not given
up, however, and a new incident could
give them fresh ammunition.
