USSR-INDIA: Advice to Communist Party
The pro-Moscow Communist Party of India may be ignor-
ing Soviet advice to avoid a confrontation with Prime Minister
Gandhi.
Scores of Communists were arrested on December 31, on
the eve of a two-week national protest against Gandhi's domestic
policies that was organized by the party. A recent increase in
Communist criticism of Gandhi's Congress Party had contributed
to the tension between the government and the Indian Communist
Party. The Communists have obviously begun to chafe at the
state of emergency, which also catapulted Gandhi's anti-commu-
nist son, Sanjay, into a position of considerable influence.
25X1
The Indian Communists cannot seriously challenge
Gandhi's government without courting disaster; at the same
time, any signs of cooperation with her party serves to under-
mine Communist efforts to become a political force in India.
The Soviets, for their part, have demonstrated that they value
state relations with India more than they value party ties
with the Indian Communists. 25X1

JAMAICA: Expanding Home Guard
Jamaican Prime Minister Manley has announced that he
wi greatly expand the Home Guard, an organization of armed
civilians under police command responsible for maintaining order
in local communities.
I iManley's ostensible purpose is to combat the problem
of violence, but the Guard may well become a partisan force in--
dependent of the normal security apparatus.
Hugh Small, a leading radical in Manley's People's
National Party, is apparently responsible for overseeing the
Guard. Its "coordinator" is Donald Powell, perhaps the most
unrestrained sympathizer with Manley's party on the constabu-
lary force. The ruling party's youth arm and its women's auxil-
iary are among the anizations with members who have rushed
to join the Guard. or
