South Korea - Japan: The sudden renewal of seizures of
Japanese fishing craft by South Korean patrols within the last
few days will strengthen powerful Japanese interests which
fi7vor the use of force to protect Japanese fishermen on the

Tokyo will renew the agreement with Pyongyang for the re-

e/t
year. Seoul has warned that renewal of the agreement would
provoke a strong reaction in South Korea.

DAILY BRIEF

IL ASIA=AFRICA
Japan: The failure so far to resolve the leadership
crisis in the ruling Liberal-Democratic party is providing
ammunition for charges by the Japanese press that the con
'-
servatives are merely engaged in "cynical" and "undemo-
d . era:tic" bargaining. An early July gubernatorial election yet
to be held may show the public's attitude toward the security
0 treaty and left-wing mass violence. The public service un=
f1/4-1 ions of the pro-Communist Sohyo labor organization plan to
hold daily demonstrations in Tokyo at least until 5 July as
part of the leftist united-front effort to strengthen mass agi-
"nst the treaty and build a Socialist election machine.

Turkey:� The new regime is showing concern that its "rev-
olutionary principles and aims are too little known both at
home and abroad. A strongly worded instruction from the pre=
mier's office, included in a circular message of 24 June, or-
dered a campaign to promote international good will toward the
revolutionary government. A similar campaign to counteract
"negative promganda" is being undertaken inside Turkey.

appears to be rising in Nyasaland following a tour by national-

those of early 1959 could occur in this British protectorate later k
this summer if Banda fails to obtain major political concessions
from the British Government at the official conference on Nyasa-
land scheduled for late July in London. The European-dominated

III. THE WEST
West Germany: Leaders of Chancellor Adenauer's Chris-
tian Democratic party have told American officials in Bonn that
they are inclined not to hold the Bundestag session in Berlin in
) September in order to avoid actions which the USSR could view
as provocative. They feel, however, that such rights as that of
the Bundestag to meet in the city should continue to be asserted.
Socialist leaders are unlikely to go along with the government on
this question. Page 6)

The Situation in Japan
Failure of negotiations among Liberal-Democratic party
(LDP) leaders so far to select a successor to Prime Minister
Kishi is providing ammunition for press charges of a "cynical"
and "undemocratic" struggle for power and is increasing intra-
party pressure for agreement. There are reports that, unless
the leadership decides on a successor by 4 July, party members
will demand that an LDP Diet members' caucus or a party con-
vention be called to resolve the issue. Already 50 Diet mem-
bers have agreed to demand a progress report from the leader-
ship and to ask that party executives begin preparations for a
party convention.
Despite mounting criticism, observers see little indication
that LDP officials feel any sense of urgency in establishing firm
new leadership to unite conservative forces, to deal with subver-
sive elements, and to restore international confidence in Japan.
Reports suggest that leaders of anti-Kishi factions, irked by ex-
clusion from party deliberations and by talk of disciplinary action
for their failure to cooperate in the debate over, the security treaty,
may be discussing forming a new conservative party. Although
this threat of a new party could be merely a bargaining maneuver
to gain a greater voice in party affairs, the personal ambitions of
Kishi's opponents could make such a threat the first in a chain of
events which could ultimately split the LDP.
Ambassador MacArthur notes that the party has waged only
indifferent campaigns in two early July gubernatorial elections
which offer the first indication of whether the LDP 's strength in
rural areas has been affected by passage of the security treaty and
by left-wing mass violence. Although local issues normally dom-
inate prefectural contests, the Japan Socialist party (JSP) has
made the treaty the major issue and has marshaled party leaders
from Tokyo to support its campaign. LDP candidates have de-
fended the treaty when pressed, but reports indicate that they have
tried to avoid it by stressing local issues. The LDP candidate has
won the I July election in Aomori, but the outcome in normally

conservative Saitama prefecture, just northwest of Tokyo, will
be more significant because of its proximity to Tokyo and the
presence of several American military installations in the area.
The public service unions of the pro-Communist labor fed-
eration Sohyo, meanwhile, have announced plans for demonstra-
tions every day except Sunday at least until 5 July to demand
dissolution of the Diet, to continue opposition to the US alliance,
and to protest disciplinary action by the government against un-
ion members who participated in political strikes during the past
month. Plans beyond 6 July include probable continuance of pro-
tests by the nationwide People's Council Against the Security Treaty
in order to strengthen for the anticipated general election the united-
front tactics which the Socialists have already used successfully to
capitalize on antitreaty and anti-Kishi sentiment.

Seoul Renews ."6elzures of Japanese Fishing Cralt-
South Korea's sudden resumption of seizures of Japanese
fishing craft will strengthen powerful interests in Japan which
favor the use of force to protect Japanese fishermen on the
high seas. Korean patrols have seized three boats in the last
four days and now hold 29 fishermen. The owner of a Japa-
nese boat that managed to escape when two others were cap-
tured on 30 July is a conservative Diet member and repre-
sentative of the Japanese fishing industry who last year pressed
strongly for armed protection of Japanese boats.
The seizures, made well inside the unilaterally imposed
"Rhee fishing line," may have been partly a response to in-
dications that Tokyo will renew the agreement with Pyongyang
for the repatriation of Koreans in Japan to North Korea. Of
the approximately 700,000 Koreans in Japan when the repatria-
tion began last December, some 29,000 have gone to North Ko-
rea, and the Japanese estimate that between 100,000 and 150,-
000 may eventually choose to go. Seoul has warned that re-
newal of the agreement would provoke a strong reaction in
South Korea.
The seizures come at a time when there are increasing
signs that prospective new governments in Seoul and Tokyo
are likely to take a more rigid attitude toward a settlement of
outstanding differences between the two countries. A Tokyo
Foreign Ministry official has noted that any future Japanese
government which would undertake serious negotiations with
the South Koreans probably would take a much harder line
than the present administration. Acting Prime Minister Huh
Chung in Seoul has recently warned that no South Korean
government is likely to reach an easy settlement with Japan
and reiterated that negotiations with the Japanese will not be
resumed unless the repatriation to North Korea is ended.
There also is a possibility that Pyongyang may protract
negotiations for extension of the repatriation agreement, which
expires on 13 August, in the knowledge that a demonstration
of Tokyo's desire to continue the program probably would fur-
ther aggravate South Korean - Japanese relations.

Turkish Regime Seeks to Justify Coup
The National Unity Committee (NUC) apparently is con-
cerned over the lack of international interest in the "revolu-
tionary movement" in Turkey and public criticism at home.
Propaganda campaigns are under way to attract more popu-
lar good will. The regime appears to feel it still is neces-
sary to justify the 27 May coup d'etat and to win support for
any measures it may take against the leaders of the former
regime.
The provisional government is also trying to counteract
what it has termed "negative propaganda in Turkey" by ex-
plaining the causes of the revolution in a 28 June broadcast
to the Turkish people. The arrest of 61 members of the
Democratic party in the Izmir area on 29-30 June for trying
to promote "an underground organization against the nation-
al revolution" indicates that organized opposition is beginning
to emerge. several
persons overheard criticizing the regime have been arrested
in various places in Turkey. A "protection of reform" law
passed by the NUC on 28 June provides that anyone accused
of being a "menace to the safety of the state" may be held for
30 days without trial. CMilitary communications officers have
been stationed in central telephone exchanges to monitor Ion,
distance and international telephone calls.3

'African Unrest Growing in Nyasaland
African nationalist extremist sentiment is reported growing
again in the northern province of Nyasaland following a recent
tour of the area by nationalist leader Dr. Hastings Banda. The
American consul has noted a deterioration in the security and
political situation since late May. During a trip he made in late
June, most Africans shouted political slogans at his passing ve-
hicle, and an American missionary told of hostile receptions at
all ports on Lake Nyasa by African crowds shouting "Europeans
go home." The British governor has threatened punitive action if
intimidation by Banda's Malawi Congress party continues in the
protectorate's central province. I
Banda has demanded separation of the Nyasaland protectorate
from the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, which is domi=
nated by white settlers, as well as the rapid Africanization of the
protectorate's government. British officials plan to discuss Nyasa
land's political evolution with Banda in London at an official confer=
ence starting 25 July, but it is most unlikely that his demands will
be met. London wants to delay any major constitutional change in
Nyasaland for several months because of its adverse effect else-
where in the Federation.
,.Many local and British officials are concerned that Banda will
order nationalist disorders for later this summer or autumn. Sim-
ilarly inspired violence in early 1959 resulted in a score of deaths,
considerable property damage, the imposition of martial law,
and heightened racial tension in central Africa.
the federal government plans to
dispatch troops and take over maintenance of order in the protec-
torate within seven hours if such an outbreak recurs.

Bonn May Decide Against Holding Fall Bundestag Meeting
In Berlin
Leaders of Chancellor Adenauerts Christian Democratic
Union (CDU) have told American officials in Bonn that, in
order to avoid actions which Moscow could use as a pretext
for new protests or harassments, they are inclined not to
hold the first few meetings of the Bundestag in Berlin this
September, as is usually done. Heinrich Krone, CDU
Bundestag chairman, indicated that Adenauer, Bundestag
President Gerstenmaier, and other CDU leaders had agreed
that while West German rights--such as that of the Bundestag
to meet in the city and that of the Federal President to make
official visits--should continue to be asserted, they were in-
clined against exercising them at this time.
Many German leaders including Adenauer reportedly ex-
pect that Khrushchev may make new moves against Berlin
during the American election campaign. The Social Demo-
cratic party (SPD) and West Berlin Mayor Brandt, however,
are expected to insist that cancellation of the annual fall
meeting of the Bundestag would constitute an unnecessary
concession harmful to Berlin morale. The attitude of the
CDU may in part be motivated by a desire to undermine the
position of Brandt, who is expected to be the SPD chancellor
candidate in the 1961 election.
