DAILY BRIEF
L THE COMMUNIST BLOC
Communist China - Indonesia: Peiping is apparently con-
cerned lest "mounting reaction" among Overseas Chinese in
Indonesia to food shortages in mainland China undermine its
efforts to dispel the bad impression of the communes created
in Southeast Asia
complaints from Overseas Chinese in
Indonesia were shown to Chou En-lai and that the Fukien pro-
vincal government "is now working out a method to solve the
grain problem." (Page 1)
II. ASIA-AFRICA
Iraq: The Iraqi Communist party will probably attempt
to use the Communist-front Iraqi Democratic Youth festival,
now under way in Baghdad, for a new demonstration of the
Communist "power of the street." The official Communist
newspaper has given careful instructions for a huge parade
on 12 June which could develop into riots with anti-Commu-
nist groups and stimulate such actions as wrecking the presses
of the National Democratic party's newspaper. Clashes between
Communist and anti-Communist elements have been reported
In several parts of Iraq; the most recent reportedly resulted
in the arrest of several Communist leaders.
*Meanwhile, the Qasim regime has announced that it will
permit the return to their homes of a number of political
"exiles."

UAR: The discovery of a "conspiracy" within the UAR
First (Syrian) Army and the confession of at least one officer
has been revealed
Marshal Amir, UAR commander in chief, is giving the matter
phis personal attention. Since the formation of the UAR in Feb-
ruary 1958, there have been numerous unconfirmed reports of
dissidence within the First Army, usually centering around
Syrian resentment of Egyptian domihation.
v _
Japan-Korea: South Korea has broken trade relations with
Japan, and a complete break in diplomatic relations may fol-
low if the reported agreement to repatriate to North Korea those
Koreans in Japan who desire to go there is consummated. The
formal agreement which has yet to be drafted must be approved
by the International Committee for the Red Cross as well as
Tokyo and Pyongyang. Populas and official feeling is running
high in South Korea, and President Rhee would welcome a
strong anti-Japanese campaign as a means of rallying support
for his administration. He may resort to additional action,
such as seizures of Japanese shipping.

III. THE WEST
West Germany: Despite the temporary truce arranged
between Adenauer and Erhard at the 10 June meeting of Chris-
tian Democratic Union Bundestag deputies, party harmony
remains badly strained and public confidence in Adenauer has
fallen. Prior to the meeting these deputies reported a gen-
erally adverse reaction in their home constituencies to Ade-
nauer's decision to decline the nomination as president. The
CDU faces considerable difficulty in agreeing on a new pres-
tial candidate on 15 June to defeat the popular Social
ocratic nominee Carlo Schmid in the 1 July election.

from the s rong effort being made by top French officials)
