DAILY BRIEF
*USSR-Finland: Khrushchev's speech at a luncheon follow-
ing his talks with President Kekkonen on 24 November seems
intended as a further justification of the necessity for formal
negotiations on the basis of the 1948 mutual assistance treaty.
Moscow apparently has not relented on its demands for consul-
tations on defense measures and for a guarantee of Finnish
neutrality. Khrushchev said the current situation requires
"further all-round cooperation" between Finland and the USSR.
He also said that Moscow must be able to have "firm confi-
dence" in Finland's neutral policy. Claiming that Northern
Europe could no longer be considered an area of tranquillity,
Khrushchev asserted that the USSR is compelled to take "all
necessary measures" to curb West German "militarists" be-
fore it is too late. At the same time Khrushchev went to some
lengths to make it clear that the USSR wants Finland to remain
under Kekkonen's leadership. He indicated Moscow's "com-
plete faith" in Kekkonen's policies and "grave concern" over
the activities of the "right-wing groups" in Finland.
This further pressure from Khrushchev will arouse addi-
tional apprehension among the Finns as to Moscow?s ultimate
objectives. Even prior to Khrushchev's statement, public con-
cern in Finland had been reflected in scarce buying, some fall
in stock-market quotations, and re orts--as et unc nfirmed--
of arise in bank withdrawals.

Albania-US: An article in the 17 November issue of
Liria, a weekly newspaper published in Boston by a Com-
munist-dominated Albanian emigre group, may be another
informal feeler. by the Albanian regime for establishing diplo-
matic relations with the US. The paper's assertion that the
USSR had prevented Albania from seeking diplomatic ties
with the US during the past 17 years could be intended as an
alibi for Tirana's past indifference and frequent hostility to-
ward .ties with the United States. The article also stated
that Greece was responsible for Washington's lack of "any
great interest" in recognizing the Hoxha regime.
The emigre group which publishes _Liria has no formal
ties with the Communist regime in Albania, but its leaders
are believed to be in contact with Albanian representatives
to the UN, and in general they support Tirana's propaganda
lines. Liria was the medium of an earlier Albanian feeler
to the US; last July, it editorially proclaimed that Tirana
was interested in .developing "diplomatic friendl and rade
relations" with the United States.
*Dominican Republic: The moderate opposition groups,
which are supported by the bulk of the population, have thus
far been unable to agree among themselves and with President
Balaguer on a coalition regime. The military, now under the
decisive leadership of General Rodriguez Echevarria, will be
tempted to assume by default many of the functions of civil
government unless an effective coalition is soon formed. Al-
though opposition leaders give President Balaguer credit. for

USSR: Khrushchev on ovember reportedly interrupted
the speech of Kazakhstan party chief Kunayev to say that this
year's New Lands harvest had been "wrecked" and had not
merely "decreased;' as Kunayev had .described it. There has
been considerable evidence in the Soviet press for some months
that drought conditions would result in a mediocre harvest in
.the New Lands, well below the planned level. Total state grain
purchases this year from the New Lands in Kazakhstan will be
the lowest since 1957 and will constitute about one-seventh of
total state grain purchases. Better than average conditions
elsewhere in the USSR, however, will result in a total, grain 25X1
