7 April 1964
1, Cyprus: Makarios' unilateral abrogation of the
Treaty of Alliance last Friday has been followed by
a series of clashes which have again raised tempera-
tures on the island.
The ever expanding Greek Cypriot force (it may
soon number 20,000 continues to strongarm its way
around despite the UN, and both sides are back to their
old practice of seizing hostages.
Makarios seems determined to force removal of the
Turkish Army contingent, most of which is manning
fortifications and roadblocks along the Nicosia-Kyrenia
road. The Turks are equally determined to stay there,
and have warned Athens that any Greek Cypriot action
against their contingent will be taken as aggression
against Turkey.
are increasing pressure
on the Greeks in Turkey in hopes this will be trans-
lated into Greek pressure on Makarios to be more reason-
able.
Meanwhile, no one is giving Tuomioja's mediation
effort much of a chance. Neither side shows any dis-
position to compromise.

2. Brazil: Leaders of the revolt against Goulart
are bringing heavy pressure on Congress and interim
President Mazzilli to assure election of a strong
military man to fill out the rest of Goulart's term.
Their choice apparently is either Army Chief of Staff,
Castello Branco,or the respected elder statesman and
former President, Marshal Dutra.
The revolt's leaders are determined to prevent a
drift back to the old orderp
The "Revolutionary Council" has already given War
Minister Costa e Sliva sweeping powers of arrest and
dismissal, including the power to cancel congressional
immunity of all legislators.
Fear is growing, not only in Congress but among
many who actively supported the revolt, that the revolu-
tion may have given birth to a monster. There is
growing resentment at the sometimes high-handed and
arbitrary arrest and search tactics of the military in
ferreting out left-wing vestiges of the Goulart regime.
All of this argues for selection of Goulart's
successor soon, and Congress is already setting up
voting procedures. They may make their selection by
this week's end.

3. South Vietnam: Khanh's troubles with civilian
politicians in his regime have come into the open.
His interior minister, Ha Thuc Ky, has resigned
in protest over Khanh's refusal to allow him to make
appointments.
Other resignations are expected as Khanh is
determined to keep full control to himself.
On Sunday he dissolved the Council of Notables,
which he considered both disloyal and an impingement
on his authority. Many of its members are likely to
go into opposition.
Khanh announced at the same time that elections
to a constituent assembly would be held within the
next several months, if possible.

We still think they will
be able to assume full control of the SAM syste7 by
late this month or early in May.
7. Panama: The National Guard, though widely scat-
tered7-EBTaged to frustrate the several demonstrations
which pro-Communists had planned for the past weekend.
The strike of banana workers continues, but has not
spread. Left-wing political organizations now have
their attention focussed on the 10 May elections and
are joining forces to present a common front.

8. Bolivia-Chile-US: An incident in which Chilean
soldiers apparently fired into a Bolivian border town
has led to a request from Bolivia that the US provide
good offices between the two countries. Ambassador
Henderson points out that normally Brazil would be
asked to take on the job but that neither Bolivia,
nor Chile have yet recognized the new government.
9. North Sea Oil: The rights to possible gas and
petroleum deposits under the North Sea threaten to
become a major source of friction among the countries
along its edges.
Almost the entire continental shelf under the
North Sea lies within the same geological formation
as the big gas field, perhaps the world's third
largest, found recently in the Netherlands.
Prospects for new finds look good, but no one is
sure just what belongs to whom, and negotiations will
be needed to settle the matter.
?They could be long and acrimonious.
