GENERAL
1. Soviet mission allegedly to study conditions for peace negotiations
in Indochina:
Comment: Moscow might dispatch such
a mission to Indochina as part of propaganda emphasis on ending
the war through direct negotiations. Any Communist expression of
willingness to negotiate now would probably be no more than a propa-
ganda device by which to forestall increased US or possible UN inter-
vention, to undermine Franco-Vietnamese morale and to block ex-
panded military operations.
