DAILY BRIEF
I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
USSR - Communist China: In the communiqu�igned
in Bucharest on 24 June the Soviet Union and Communist China
reached back to 1957 for an authoritative statement of Bloc
policy which both could still accept. The communiqu�erely
outlined broad principles in very general lines, leaving specific
Issues open to varying interpretations. For the most part it
expressed Soviet views, but Chinese reservations received some
consideration. Such an arrangement, by itself, does little to
resolve underlying differences between Moscow and Peiping, but
the two powers in private talks probably examined ways of easing
their dispute. (Page 1)
*USSR: The Central Pacific impact area designated
biilErscow for tests between 5 and 31 July of "new types of
powerful multistage carrier rockets" is about half the size of
the 45,000-square -mile impact area used for extended-range tests
this past January, and is centered on the southeastern edge of
that area. In January, there were two 6,500-nautical-mile launch-
ings from Tyura Tam to the Central Pacific, as well as one ad-
ditional test vehicle which failed in flight. The Sibir-class instru-
mentation ships, which participated in the January tests and which
left Petropavlovsk about two weeks ago,
heading toward and within a few hours' sailing time of the newly
designated impact area. The Sibir-class ships have recently been
noted in practice countdowns with the Tvura Tam ranvehearl_
*Communist China - Nepal: The Nepalese government has
,0 announced receipt of a note from Peiping stating that Chinese
1\1 troops engaged in quelling rebel disturbances have been sent into

Nor-
the demilitarized zone along the Nepalese-Tibetan border. The
Chinese note was probably intended mainly to forestall unfavorable
Asian reaction which might result from the presence of Chinese
soldiers in the border area, or from any resulting border incidents.
A demilitarized zone 25 miles wide was provided for in the Sino-
Nepalese agreement signed in March 1960. Sporadic, small-scale
guerrilla activity has continued in Tibet since the major revolt
there in the spring of 1959. I
II. ASIA-AFRICA
Ceylon: Prime Minister Senanayake, the UNP's nationally
popular leader, because of
An aggravation of his chronic illness, he is considering resign-
ing in the event his party is returned to power in the national elec-
tions of 20 July. He resigned for a similar reason in 1953. Voter
confidence in the UNP would drop sharply if�as seems likely--
Senanayake's condition or intentions become publicly known.

Mozambique: The American Consulate General in Lourenco
Marques has received reports of native 'attacks on Portuguese ad�

African tribesmen, some of whom are said to be armed, have re-
portedly come under the influence of agitators from neighboring
Tanganyika. The Portuguese have moved some troops north, and
a Portuguese official in Lisbon has reaffirmed Portugal's readi-
ness to react with force to infiltration of its overseas possessions
from neighboring areas. (Page 3) (Map)

jErank Cousins and other left-wingers have been clamoring.
The ambiguously worded statement proposes that the United
States provide the strategic deterrent but reaffirms the par-
ty's support for fulfilling NATO obligations. The unilateralists
will try to soften the policy further when it comes up before the
trades unions' governing council on 1 July, and at the trade un-
ion and pa ty conferences in the fall.

Communist Bloc Attempts to Restore Unity
In the communiqu�igned in Bucharest on 24 June by
all bloc nations, the Soviet Union and Communist China reached
back to 1957 for an authoritative statement of bloc policy which
both could still accept, but did little to resolve the dispute in
which they are engaged. During the steady development of the
controversy in public statements and the equally steady deteriora-
tion of the much-vaunted "unity of the socialist bloc," both
sides have consistently cited the 1957 declaration in substantia-
tion of their own positions.
� The 1957 declaration was drawn up to overcome the confusion
in the international Communist movement that was created by
Ithrushchev's de-Stalinization campaign. It was a carefully worded
document which emphasized the necessity for unity under the
leadership of Moscow but allowed for a limited degree of inde-
pendence in action and thought. Recently, however, the Chinese
Communists, who apparently played an important role in the
drafting of the declaration, have been pushing their independence
to the point where it challenged Soviet leadership.
The communiqu�igned in Bucharest on 24 June endorsed
the Soviet views on the noninevitability of war and the possibility
of peaceful Communist take-over in non-Communist countries.
However, it also took account of Chinese views by acknowledg-
ing that war is still possible as long as imperialism exists and
that, in certain cases, violence would be necessary to accomplish
a gevolution.
By merely outlining broad principles in very general terms,
it still leaves specific issues open to varying interpretations.
Soviet and Chinese editorials and statements since 24 June sug-
gest that the two countries will continue to uphold their divergent
concepts. The publication of the communiqu�however, suggests
that the conflict now may be muted, at least in public, in the
interests of "socialist unity."

Election Prospects of Ceylon's Leadinz Conservative
Party Threatened
Prime Minister Senanavake in commentin
on his health,
is consider-
ing resigning in favor of the capable but unpopular finance
minister, J. R. Jayawardene, if his United National party
(UNP) wins the Ceylonese national elections on 20 July.
As Senanayake is the UNP's only nationally popular lead-
er, voter confidence in the party will drop sharply if the
state of his health becomes public knowledge. This seems
unavoidable in view of his absence from several campaign
rallies and his reportedly unhealthy appearance. Senanayake's
resignation because of a chronic stomach ailment during a
wave of antigovernment agitation in 1953 has long been exploited
by the opposition as proof of his inability to handle critical
situations. This charge was successfully countered by Senana-
yake's energetic Tcamp.aign for the elections last March. His
present condition, however, provides the opposition an excel-
lent opportunity to reopen the issue.
,-
I_UNP leaders thus far have managed to keep the opposition
parties on the defensive by playing on two strong sentiments of
the Singhalese-Buddhist community�anti-Communism and a
deep-rooted antagonism to the Tamil-speaking minority. Cer-
tain sections of the moderate-socialist Sri Lanka Freedom
:party (SLFP) are increasingly concerned over the UNP's attacks
/on the SLFP's electoral pact with a Trotskyite party and the
orthodox Communist part; UNP's allegations of a "Marxist
plot" involving the SLFP may become more convincing as a
result of publicity concerning a recent conference between two
t_Trotskyite leaders and local Soviet officials:I:Continued inten-
sive UNP campaigning on this issue might serve to divert
public attention somewhat from the issue of Senanayake's health.

Unrest Reported in Mozambique
The American Consulate General in Lourenco Marques
has received reports ot native attacks on Portuguese admin-
istrative posts in northeastern Mozambique. African tribes-
men, influenced by agitators from neighboring Tanganyika,
reportedly have staged large demonstrations in the Mocimboa
da Praia and Porto Amelia area. Some of the natives are said
to be armed, and some Portuguese troops reportedly have
been moved north. The Mozambique provincial secretary told
the American consul general that the activity was a "minor
police action only"; however, reports from Lisbon tend to
confirm the existence of unrest.
Northern Mozambique's remoteness and the sparseness
of the European population cause security problems for the
province's Portuguese administrators. In some areas, more
than half the population is Moslem, which provides a link
with countries to the north. Direct external interference may
increase as Tanganyika and Nyasaland approach self-govern-
ment.
Portugal has reacted to these threats by increasing its
military garrison and by encouraging European settlement in
the border� areas. A high Portuguese military official has
reaffirmed Portugal's intention to react with force to any in-
filtration of its overseas possessions from neighboring areas.
High-level consultations reportedly have taken place recently
among the three military services in order to plan for counter-
measures to control unrest in Portuguese Africa,

(British labor Party Statement on Defense
The statement on foreign policy and defense issued by the
British Labor party on 22 June shows that the party's general
position is much "softer" than a year ago, in the view of the
American Embassy in London. Without specifically advocat-
ing British unilateral nuclear disarmament, the long-awaited
statement asserts that there no longer exists any basis for an
independent British nuclear deterrent, and says that Britain
should contribute only conventional weapons and forces to
Western defense. The statement advocates unilateral British
cessation of nuclear weapons tests, but avoids saying that
Britain should stop manufacturing such weapons, or suggest-
ing what should be done with the stockpile. It opposes Ameri-
can Thor missile bases in the United Kingdom. �I
j3y reaffirming Labor's support of a nuclear-armed NATO,
the statement is designed to counterbalance the strong drift in
the Labor movement toward a policy favoring unilateral British
nuclear disarmament. Even so, the party calls for the "radical"
reform of NATO in order to ensure the "political control of all
kinds of nuclear weapons"--necessarily American weapons,
since the party opposes creation of a European deterrent.-1
Although this statement goes a long way toward advocating
Britain's withdrawal from the field of nuclear defense planning
and commitment, it will not end the Labor party's bitter argu-
ment over defense policy. Frank Cousins, leader of Britain's
largest trade union, believes this new position does not go far
enough and will fight it when the General Council of the Trades
Union Congress meets on 1July to vote on it. The statement
faces further attack at the annual conference of the Trades
Union Congress in September and at the Labor party conference
in October.
