DAILY BRIEF
THE COMMUNIST BLOC
eIL ASIA-AFRICA
Japan: a'rime Minister Kishi's retention of office seems
to be seriously threatened.* The press is increasing its de-
mands for his resignation soon after final ratification of the
US-Japan security treaty, and factional leaders in the Liberal
Democratic party who have hitherto supported Kishi are re-
portedly maneuvering to bring this about. Japanese police
anticipate that leftist organizations will attempt to stage dem-
onstrations during President Eisenhower's visit. A govern-
,r) ment spokesman has denied rumors that Tokyo might ask for
'IY'a postponement of this visit to avoid embarrassment both to
Itself and the President (Page 1)
Afghanistan: Foreign Minister Naim told the US charge
on 21 May that the USSR is willing to exploit and market the
oil recently discovered by a Soviet team in northern Afghan-
istan. The Afghans probably expect to accept Soviet help.
Naim, however, asked for US help in building a pipeline south-
ward, arguing that this would prevent a dangerous expansion
o1 Afghan dependence on the USSR. The Afghans, who try to
maintain some balance in their relations with the bloc and the
West, probably realize that difficulties in transporting Afghan
crude to free-world markets may well stand in the way of US
participation.
C./
Libya: G'rime Minister Kubar has stated that the new Amer-
ican aid offer presented by Ambassador Jones is not large enough
( 0 and that even if it is increased, there will have to be at least a
formal review of the Wheelus base agreement as a whole.
The Office of Naval Intelligence at this time perceives no
evidence that Kishirs position is seriously threatened.

Morocco: King Mohamed V, unable to persuade several of
the more able and experienced Moroccans to enter the new cab-
inet which he is heading, apparently is relying largely on young
technicians. A major factor in the success of the new govern-
ment will be how well the King is able to control Crown Prince
Moulay Hassan, his deputy premier. Hassan is likely to use
his office to try to suppress all leftist opposition in the country.
The reaction to such an effort might well jeopardize the future
of the monarchy. (CONFIDENTIAL) (Page 2)

Japanese Political Crisis Deepen_s_i
4
CPrime Minister Ki`shi's retention of offrce is being seri-
ously threatened by growing demands in influential quarters
that he resign soon after ratification of the new. US-Japanese
security treaty. Final passage seems assured for 19 June,
at the latest, to coincide with the scheduled arrival of Pres-
ident Eisenhower for a five-day visit_D
an the wake of the political crisis set off by Kishi's sud-
den move to close debate and push passage of the treaty in
the lower house of the Diet, a major portion of the press,
powerful business interests, and Kishi's rivals in the ruling
Liberal-Democratic party are urging him to retire in
favor of another conservative leader,j
Ls yet, there is no obvious successor nor even an indi-
cation that LDP factional leaders are endeavoring to reach
agreement on one. Minister of International Trade and In-
dustry Hayato Ikeda, who has been a major Kishi supporter
and most frequently mentioned as a possible successor,
could play a decisive role. Amid increasing party senti-
ment that Kishi has held office long enough, and that revi-
sion of the security treaty and the visit by President Eisen-
hower will provide him sufficient claim to political achieve-
ment, Ikeda has not given clear indication of support for or
opposition to Kishij
Meanwhile, the Diet remains at a standstill in the face
of a boycott by the opposition parties, and, in Tokyo, left-
ist demonstrations against Kishi and the treaty are continu-
ing for the sixth day. The Japanese police anticipate that
the leftists also will intensify preparations for demonstra-
tions during the President's visit, but a government spokesman
has denied rumors that Tokyo might ask to postpone the
visit in order to avoid embarrassment both to itself and
the President.

Moroccan King Completes New Cabinet
King Mohamed V announced on 24 May the formation of the
theoretically nonpartisan Moroccan Government which he will
head as premier. He had dismissed the Ibrahim government on
20 May after months of increasingly bitter disputes between
rightist groups aligned with Crown Prince Moulay Hassan and
leftists. Heeding the advice of his closest advisers that a gov-
ernment headed by Hassan would jeopardize the monarchy, the
King has at last emerged into the political arena, where he can
no longer avoid responsibility if he continues his former tactics
of extreme caution and indecision. Hassan as deputy premier
probably will carry the brunt of routine administration and is
likely to use his office to suppress all leftist opposition.
Although the new cabinet does not appear to be the strong
and decisive government needed to ensure internal stability, the
King should be ably supported by four competent ministers who
served in previous governments. Foreign Minister Driss
M'Hammedi, who formerly held the interior portfolio, is close
to the King but may not get along well with the crown prince.
Personally, M'Hammedi is friendly toward the United States,
but he is likely to carry out rigorously the King's policy of non
dependence. Abdelkrim Benjelloun, an independent of rightist
inclinations, will continue as minister of education.
The new minister of the interior is Si MtBarek Bekkai, who
headed the first two independent Moroccan governments and is
one of the King's closest supporters. Of the other new ministers,
several are young, energetic, and intelligent. Minister of Na-
tional Economy Mohamed Douiri, a former minister of public
works, lacks experience in such a broad field and, as the crea-
tor of a rightist labor union formed to undermine the leftist
Moroccan Labor Union, may have difficulty with the many left-
ists staffing his ministry.
Leftist groups, which are determined to prevent Moulay
Hassan from ever acceding to the throne, will strive to solidify

their positions, Immediately, they will seek an optimum show-
ing in the 29 May elections of local communal councils, and they
will continue to agitate for the election of a national assembly and
the promulgation of the constitution the King has promised before
the end of 1962. The success of the King's new venture will de-
pend to a large extent on the degree to which he can control the
crown prince in the prince's conflict with the left.
