Communist China Bloody fighting--at an unprece- dented level--has recently broken out in Canton. Travelers say a fierce fight there lasted from Sunday to Tuesday and all rail traffic in the area was shut down during that time. In the Wuhan area, late--but still unconfirmed--reports say that the central authorities are now be- ginning to use paratroopers and other regulars against the dissident forces. 2. Soviet Union - The Russians are continuing to Mongolia build up their forces in Mongolia. 3. Nigeria All told, there may well be as many as 10,000 Soviet military person- nel now in Mongolia. The federal government's cam- paign against the East seems to be moving along reasonably well. 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A005300290001-7 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A005300290001-7 50X1 4. France 5. Cuba France is likely to establish some sort of official commercial representa- tion in East Germany "very soon." If it comes off, the East German regime will certainly view this as a major breakthrough in its drive for interna- tional acceptance. Paris will repre- sent it as a move forwarding detente, but Bonn will be upset and claim that De Gaulle is supporting a separate East Germany. 50X1 50X1 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A005300290001-7 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A005300290001-7 Top Secret Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A005300290001-7
