DAILY BRIEF
I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
Communist China - USSR:
Ithrushchev's visits'
to capitalist countries may be good for Soviet policy but cannot
be useful for the "socialist camp."
it has become China's task to support the ;.'anti--
imperialist" forces in Africa who are struggling against the
"imperialists" for independence. These remarks and recent
official Chinese statements indicate that Soviet tactics in West-
ern Europe will not inhibit Peiping's policy of open support to
nationalist movements)
(Page 1)
� Communist China: In his 10 April foreign policy speech to
the concluding session of the National People's Congress, Pre-
mier Chou En-lai indicated Peiping's opposition to any stabiliza-
tion of the status quo in the Far East. He stated that "up to the
present there has been no change in the tense situation between
China and the United States" and that, regarding Taiwan, Peiping
will "struggle to the end" to defend "its territorial integrity."
Referring to Japan, Chou repeated that there could be no possi-
bility of improving relations with the Kishi government. With
reference to China's disputes with India and Indonesia,Chou
merely called for "reasonable solutione

interpretation likely to be given the act by various groups. Al-
though the would-be assassin had no known political backing,
die-hard elements within the Nationalist party will see the at-
tack as proof of a widespread plot to kill government leaders
and will demand further repression of non-Europeans and
liberal whites. The Africans are likely to see the attack as
an indication of support among the English-speaking commu-
nity for their antigovernment effort. They will probably in-
crease their agitation and may stage disorders on 15 April,
Africa Freedom Day. (Page 2)
Somalia - British Somaliland /Somali nationalists of the
Italian-administered trust territory of Somalia and of the Brit-
ish protectorate are planning to bypass official channels and
hold discussions regarding a possible union of the two areas.
Italian and French officials in the area apparently suspect that
these moves are the result of British machinations. Officials
in the British protectorate fear that disorders would erupt if
authorities attempted to contain nationalist enthusiasm.?

Afro-Asian Conference. The second "nongovernmental" Afro-
Asian People's Solidarity Conference which begins in Conakry,
Guinea on 11 April seems likely to be marked by a struggle for
control of the solidarity movement between Communist partici-
pants and UAR-led neutralists. This conflict and the indifferent
and sometimes hostile attitude of African nationalists toward the
movement will probably continue to limit its prestige and effec-
tiveness. (Page 5)

campaign which would em-
phasize political and propaganaa methods rather than military
ones to prevent candidates sponsored by the reformist Committee
for Defense of National Interests (CDNI) from winning a majority
in the 24 April elections. The message indicates that the Commu-
nists hope to exploit divisive tendencies in the anti-Communist
