DAILY BRIEF
*Cuba: Recent photography of the four Soviet
armored encampments in Cuba reveals continuing
activity and no signs of withdrawal.
Photographyl of the encampment
near Artemisa in eastern "inar el Rio Province
shows that construction has been completed on 10
probable barracks buildings and that work is pro-
ceeding on 19 more similar buildings. This is six
more buildings, completed 3r under construction,
than were observedi at this camp.
Thel Artemisa photography also
showect the continue presence of considerable equip-
ment, including five probable FROG rocket trans-
porters and a large number of tanks and trucks. On
the, same day, at least 155 vehicles, including 39
tanks, were observed at the Soviet encampment near
Remedios in las Villas Province. Photography of
1covering the other two armored
group encampments--in Havana and Oriente prov-
inces--showed continuing activity.

*USSR: Khrushchev's lengthy and wide-ranging
speech to the Supreme Soviet yesterday was intended
as the definitive apologia for his conduct in the Cu-
ban crisis.
The address provided further evidence that the
Soviet leaders are going through a period of consoli-
dation and reappraisal of their foreign policy, com-
plicated by the need to deal simultaneously with seri-
ous intra-bloc problems aggravated by Peiping's
charges of Soviet appeasement on Cuba.
The speech contained no sense of urgency regard-
ing a new round of negotiations on Berlin. Khrushchev
implied that domestic problems will be given priority
over foreign policy in the period immediately ahead.
"All our thoughts," he said, "are turned to creative
construction, to the building of Communism!'
Khrushchev's concern, however, to discourage
the West from adopting a more demanding posture in
dealing with Moscow was evident in his warning that
Western advocates of a "tough" policy should not as-
sume the USSR will retreat or make concessions on
other issues. He reiterated the claim that Soviet stra-
tegic weapons "are the best in the world:'
Khrushchev's long account of the Cuban crisis was
aimed primarily at establishing the point that the USSR
had "confirmed its agreement" to withdraw offensive
weapons only after a public statement by President
Kennedy 'that- -in Khrushchev's words--the "US would
not attack Cuba and would restrain its allies from such
an action."
The Soviet leader repeated the line that his actions
had prevented a US invasion of Cuba, thwarted the de-
sires of "rabid imperialists" to launch a nuclear war,

and proved that the USSR and its allies "are in a posi-
tion to impose peace on the protagonists of war." He
acknowledged, however, that "leading circles in the
US" had displayed a "sober approach" and that both
sides had made concessions.
The Soviet premier tried to put the best face pos-
sible on the USSR's strained relations with Cuba. He
hailed Cuba's "glorious leaders headed by our great
friend, Fidel Castro ' " and pledged that the Soviet Un-
ion will continue to help the Cubans and never leave
them defenseless. He said he would "firmly adhere"
to his agreement with President Kennedy as long as
the US carries out its pledges, but the USSR would
"take such actions as would be required in the cir-
cumstances" if the US does not respect its commit-
ments.
Khrushchev went over to the offensive in counter-
ing Chinese attacks on his handling of the Cuban crisis.
He denounced "irresponsible charges" by people who
'tcall themselves Marxist- Leninists.11 He defended the
correctness of his actions in light of the "time, place,
and circumstances" of the Cuban crisis.

For the first time in the Sino-Soviet dispute, Khru-
shchev confronted the Chinese with their failure to ex-
pel the "colonialists" from Hong Kong and Macao. He
underscored the parallel with his behavior on Cuba by
saying "it would be wrong to push China into some ac-
tion which it regards as untimely."
Although Khrushchev continued to avoid a direct
attack on the Chinese, he made it clear that they were
the real target by referring to "those who are pushing"
the Albanians into denouncing Soviet actions in Cuba.
His personal intervention with such a thinly veiled at-
tack will undoubtedly produce a vigorous Chinese re-
sponse; this will increase the momentum of the dispute
and make it more difficult to avoid a formal break in
party relations. _E_ I

Sino-Indian Border: The situation along the bor-
der remains quiet. The Chinese have announced
their withdrawal from Bomdila, in the Northeast
Frontier Agency.
The Colombo conference of nonaligned nations
adjourned on 12 December after three days of de-
liberations. The conferees appear to have agreed
only that India and China should negotiate rather than
fight. Prime Minister Bandaranaike, the conference
hostess, will travel to Peiping and New Delhi to
present the recommendations of the conferees.

Brunei: The "North Borneo National Army" re-
volt appears to have collapsed.
British forces have regained control of all
towns and police stations. All hostages held by the
rebels have been released. There is still some
danger that the rebels may conduct guerrilla war-
fare from the jungle.
Rebel leader Azahari, still in Manila, has been
unable to rally to his cause opponents of the pro-
jected Federation of Malaysia. In addition, his
plans to make a protest at the UN against the pro-
posed Federation have fizzled. The British Govern-
ment has canceled Azahari's passport, and he will
be unable to travel to New York unless specifically
invited by the UN. Delegations from North Borneo
and Sarawak which were to have joined him there
have backed out.
