DAILY BRIEF
*India-Portugal: Within Goa, Indian army units are re-
porte c earring out isolated pockets of Portuguese resistance.
The failure of the UN Security Council to adopt a resolu-
tion supporting Portugal on the Goa issue is certain to gen-
erate bitter public and popular reaction against the UN in Lis-
bon, as well as to raise the possibility of Portuguese withdrawal
from the organization. Minister of State Correira de Olivera
stated that although he doubts Lisbon will submit the question
to the UN General Assembly, Premier Salazar is awaiting the
.return of the foreign minister from New York before making
"a decision regarding Portugal's attitude toward the UN"

Congo: Premier Adoula appears apprehensive over his
talks with Tshombe, and concerned that negotiations at this
time will lead to charges of "softness" toward Katangan se=
cession. In conversation with UN officials on 18 December
,
Adoula set forth conditions for any meeting with TshombeO,
and.UN representative Linner expressed doubt as to Adoula's
willingness to cooperate in meaningful negotiations. In public
statements Adoula has dissociated himself from the UN's sus-
pension of hostilities in Elisabethville, and has reiterated that
/ the UN operation will continue. The advisers whom Adoulahas
brought with him to Kitona-including radical leader Christophe
Gbenye and Baluba spokesman Remy Mwamba--are likely to
demand a "hard" line toward Tshombe.

Ambassador Gullion has characterized Adoula as adamant
that central government troops be moved into Katanga. Secre-
tary General U Thant agreed on 18 December to accept a Congo
Army battalion for employment in northern Katanga under UN
direction. UN officials in Leopoldville report that Adoula has
demanded a letter stating this intent, and they believe that the
news of this agreement will probably be leaked to the press. In
view of UN assurances that it does not seek to impose a polit-
tral government forces will lend.itself to charges of bad faith
.by Tshombe and could break up the negotiations. 25X1

Albania. Albania, relying on Communist China for as-
sistance in offsetting the. curtailment of credits from Moscow
and the European satellites, apparently feels no immediate
need for Western economic aid. During recent trade nego-
tiations with Italy, the Albanians stated they needed no com-
mercial credits. The Italians received the impression that
Albania intends to continue increasing its trade with the West,
probably with the help of foreign exchange supplied by the
Chinese Communists.
Albanian purchases in Western Europe earlier this year--
including grain, a large merchant ship, and industrial equip-
went=-were financed largely by hard currency from China.
The Chinese, who in the teeth of Soviet opposition have en-
gaged their prestige in the survival of the Hoxha regime, ap-
parently intend to extend all necessary aid despite their own
pressing economic problems. Peiping extended a $125,000,000
credit to Albania earlier this year, and negotiations now near-
ing completion in Peiping probably will resul further
strengthening of Chinese support for Tirana.

Ceylon. A strike by a majority of Ceylonese dock workers
is paralyzing cargo operations in Colombo port, the only impor-
tant processing and export point for the island's major crops. The

India-Portugal
Major General Candeth, commander of the division which
spearheaded India's, invasion force, has been appointed mil-
itary governor and has taken up his duties in Panjim. A quick
transfer to civil authority is expected--a civil administrator
has also been appointed--and Nehru has promised preserva=
tion of Goa's cultural traditions by setting in motion plans to
govern the area as a separate entity as in the case of the for-
mer French enclaves.
An 18 December press report from Lisbon added.fuel to
the rumors of a possible basic shift in Lisbon's foreign policy
by citing "mounting demands for a sharp swing to 'neutralism""
and asserting that the cabinet on 17 December approved "a
shift in Portugal's foreign policy" in the event of Lisbon's in-
ability to gain UN support for its plea. Armed police are "pro-
tecting" the British and American embassies in Lisbon from
any possible violence as a result of popular feeling that the
West has deserted Portugal.
Soviet President Brezhnev, who is in India on a two-week
state visit, has strongly endorsed India's invasion of Goa, while
Pravda hailed the Indian attack as "historical justice!' Accord-
ing to press. reports, Radio Moscow is also exploiting the Indian-
Portuguese conflict in order to attack the NATO powers and has
pointed up sharply that the "guns and planes" being used by the
Portuguese forces in Goa against the Indians. were supplied by
the NATO powers.
The. Chinese Communists, who claim Portuguese Macao and
possess the means to overwhelm it quickly, have issued an offi-
cial statement supporting 'India's action against Goa. The state-
ment contains no hint of an imminent move on Macao, but Peiping
may be embarrassed by the prospect that its militantly anti-
colonialist propaganda will be compared unfavorably with New

Delhi's direct action. An authoritative Chinese Communist
newspaper in Hong Kong disparaged the Indian action in a
19 December editorial as one forced on Nehru by internal
unrest and by his desire to garner votes in the forthcoming
election. The editorial ridiculed the Indian leader for choos-
ing the "world's tiniest imperialist country" as his target.
