THE COMMUNIST BLOC Communist China - USSR: The major Chinese address at the Rumanian party congress on 22 June was judiciously worded to avoid antagonizing the congress and was devoid of either support for or sharp criticism of Soviet positions on points at issue between Peiping and Moscow. Eastern Euro- pean delegation heads also addressed the congress on 22 June and, with the exception of Albania, appeared to support strongly Khrushchev's speech of the previous day. Propa- ganda emanating directly from Peiping continued to be sharp- () r ly critical of Khrushchev's foreign policies. As far as is knowp,Sino-Soviet political differences have not so far affected economic and military cooperation between the two powers, but continuation of current polemics could make collaboration in these spheres more difficult to maintain. For this reason, further attempts to resolve these differences may be expected. (Page 1) II. ASIA -AFRICA t,Japan: Prime Minister Kishi's impending resignation has shifted political activity to more conventional tactics and r\ IL� has reinforced expectations of early general elections. Al- -' -though demonstrations have subsided, the leftists retain their capability for violence and large-scale action in the election campaign. Major factors in the leftist success thus far have been failure of the government to declare an emergency and 5 _ issue appropriate orders and unwillingness of police authori - ties, in the absence of such orders, to jeopardize their pub- lic standing by using the strong measures needed to control the riots and demonstrations.

THE WEST C France: Soustelle has associated some well-known politi- cal figures from most major non-Communist parties with his recently launched "French Algeria" group and is directing Its primary efforts toward gaining support within the army for his goal of completely integrating Algeria. into France. If De Gaulle makes significant concessions in his forthcoming negotiations with the Algerian rebels, Soustelle and a number of his group may join forces with more extremist groups and make an attempt to overthrow the regime. French security officials are aware of at least some of the details of the plot- ting but do not expect major disturbances at the present time. (Page IV.

NIE 76-60. 21 June 60. 24 June 60 DAILY BRIEF Page ii Approved for Release: 2020/03/13 C03189343 CONFIDENTIAL Peiping Stands Firm in Political Disputes With Moscow The major Chinese address at the Rumanian party con- gress--delivered by politburo member Peng Chen on 22 June-- made no concessions to Khrushchev's authoritative restate- ment of Soviet policies toward the West delivered at the con- gress the previous day. Peng did, however, attempt to avoid exacerbating the situation in Bucharest by presenting a judiciously worded statement. He blurred the question of the inevitability of war by quoting contradictory statements from the 1957 Moscow Declaration, but he made no mention of peaceful coexistence and limited his endorsement to Khru- shchev's attack on the United States at the summit. Peng gave credit for China's economic success to the regime's "leap forward" and commune programs--Chinese domestic develop- ments in disfavor with Moscow. Propaganda emanating directly from Peiping continued to voice sharp criticism of Khrushchev's foreign policies. An article in the official party paper, People's Daily, on 21 June-- broadcast on 22 June--made many of Peng% points but in. much stronger language. Reflecting the Chinese view that the bloc is in a position to deal from strength, the article re- jected Khrushchev's policies of "active coexistence" and "friend- ly cooperation" with the West, calling instead for a "resolute struggle" against imperialism as the only assurance for peace. By implication, the article names Khrushchev a "renegade" for branding the Chinese interpretation of Leninism as "stiff dogma- tism" and takes the Soviet leader to task for lauding what the Chinese call "shameful actions of betrayal" as creative Marxism- Leninism. As far as is known, Sino- Soviet political differences have not so far affected economic and military cooperation between the two powers, but a continued deterioration in political re- lations would make close cooperation difficult to maintain. For this reason, further attempts to resolve these differences may be expected. On the. same day Peng spoke, all the Eastern European satellites except Albania wholeheartedly supported Khrushchev's CONFIDENTIAL 24 June 60 CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN Page 1 Approved for Release: 2020/03/13 C03189343 Approved for Release: 2020/03/13 C03189343 WAT1rrtrirlhtfiri7 speech, calling it of "fundamental significance for the entire workers' and Communist movement." The head of the Al- banian delegation�the only East European group not led by its party leader--not only failed to mention Khrushchev's speech but generally reaffirmed a view similar to that of the Chinese on some aspects of foreign policy. 24 June 60 CENTD A I IMITC1 I letckir'e DI II I eTikl Page 2 Approved for Release: 2020/03/13 C03189343 Approved for Release: 2020/03/13 C03189343 SECRET Japanese Demonstrations Subside, Elections Awaited Prime Minister :Kishi's impending resignation--the date of which is contingent on the outcome of the struggle within the ruling Liberal-Democratic party (LDP) to select his suc- cessor--has temporarily calmed political tensions in Japan and reinforced expectations of early elections to the lower house of the Diet. With the new US-Japanese security treaty in force, Kishi's announcement that he intends to resign has deprived the leftists of issues for continuing widespread disturbances. The Social- ists persist in claiming that the treaty ratification was illegal. As yet they have given no indication that they will end their boycott of the Diet, and they apparently intend to maintain a united front with other leftist groups in opposing the treaty. The leftists retain their capability for violence and large- scale action. Major factors in the leftist success thus far have been the failure of the government to proclaim an emergency which would authorize maximum police measures and the unwilling- ness of police authorities without specific instructions from the government to exercise powers necessary for controlling the riots and demonstrations. L Senior Japanese police officials have complained that they did not receive explicit directions to put down the disturbances, that governmental officials prob- ably would not have accepted responsibility for strong police measures, and that the police themselves would be left to take the blame. Despite restraints on their action and the fact that they sustained numerous injuries, policemen have maintained ex- cellent discipline and morale while avoiding leftist attempts to have them create martyrs during the outbreaks. The Amer= ican Embassy in Tokyo concludes that the Japanese police re- main an effective and courageous force, needing only adequate support at the political level to function satisfactorily. --SEGREZ._ 24 June 60 CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN Page 3 Approved for Release: 2020/03/13 C03189343 Approved for Release: 2020/03/13 C03189343 "StCh:L.I. Noe Opponents of De Gaulle's Algerian Policy Active /Former Vice Premier Soustelle's recently launched move- ment advocating the maintenance of a "French Algeria" now has the support of some well-known political figures from most major non-Communist parties. These include former Resident Minister for Algeria Lacoste (Socialist), former Premier BittauIt (Christian Democrat), former Defense Minister and Pre- mier Bourges-Maunoury, (Radical), former Defense Minister Mcikice (dissident Radical), and head of the National Assembly Defense Committee Francois-Valentin (Independent). A simi- lar movement has been started in Algeria under the leadership of a Moslem vice president of the French National Assembly. The "French Algeria" groups aim to unite various elements opposed to De Gaulle's Algerian policy and are directing their primary efforts toward gaining support within the army for Sou- stelle's goal of completely integrating Algeria into France. The US consul general in Algiers views the army as essentially loyal and ready to obey De Gaulle's orders. Soustelle and some of his associates may be planning moves to overthrow the regime if De Gaulle makes significant con- cessions in his forthcoming negotiations with the Algerian rebels. French police are aware of a "serious" plot for combined civilian and military operations in France to seize the govern- ment. There reportedly are some contacts between these plotters and Soustelle's group. Extremists in Algeria have been heard commenting, "Let it start in Paris this time." French security officials have begun to relax the special precautions instituted on 20 June when the rebel leadership agreed to negotiate. Pro-integrationist elements now indic te that, since everyone favors ending the war, cease-fire talks in themselves would not be a popular reason for rebellion. They may still plan to act, however, if and when De Gaulle's talks with the rebels :result in political agreements which could be attacked as leading to the "loss" of Algeria.
