DAILY BRIEF
I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
Communist China - India: Recent mass rallies in Com-
munist China condemning "Indian expansionists" are intended
to remind New Delhi that public Indian criticism of Communist
actions in Tibet will not go unanswered.
ConcPrn for deterioratina Sino-Indian relations, however,
is shown
In speaking to the Indian Parliament on 4 May, Nehru said
that he was "shocked beyond measure" by Chinese Communist
attacks on India, but that they would not lead to any change in
India's neutral foreign policy. He added that, despite these dis-
agreements, India would continue to support China's bid for
membership in the United Nations and would not sign a military
alliance with any country. Nehru said that he would be happy if
the Dalai Lama could return home 'With dignity."

IL ASIA-AFRICA
UAR - Communist China: he Cairo press on 2 May,
attacked ommunist China for its "in-
vasion" of Tibets, violation of the Bandung principles, and
intervention in Arab affairs by supporting Arab Communists.
Peiping is likely to replyin strongterms, and relations betwee
the two states will probably continue to deteriorate.
Peiping has pro-
tested earlier UAR press articles which criticized Communist
China in relatively mild terms (Page 2)

Iraq: The commander of the Communist-controlled Popular
Resistance Forces in southern Iraq has begun to assert himself.
issued a proclamation to the inhabitants of Basra calling for spe-
cial efforts against "outcast agents, saboteurs, and people bear-
ing grudges." The forced retirement from Iraq's armed forces of
a large number of senior officers on 19 and 26 April will further
weaken the army's ability to prevent increasing independence of
action by Popular Resistance Forces throughout the country.
(Page 3)
Turkey: Demonstrations both for and against the govern-
ment during the recent tour of western Turkey by top opposi-
tion leaders are evidence of increasing political bitterness in
Turkey. The government may take further repressive measures
against its principal opposition, the Republican People's party.

L THE COMMUNIST BLOC
Sino -Indian Relations
Kuo Mo-jo, a leading Chinese Communist spokesman,
speaking at a Peiping rally on 3 May, condemned "Indian in-
terference in China's affairs." He avoided reference to Nehru
but called on Indian "political leaders" to "come to their senses."
At another meeting the day before, delegates from Communist
China's minority races charged that Nehru, in a 27 April speech
critical of Peiping, used words that "benefit only imperialism."
Despite this policy of retaliation, Peiping appears to be
seeking �nme means of ending the bitter exchange of recrim-
inations,1
A statement by Nehru on 4 May contained conciliatory as-
pects which probably will please Peiping. Although he told Par-
liament he was "shocked beyond measure" by Chinese charges
of Indian "expansionism," Nehru said India would not deviate from
its neutral foreign and defense policies. He added that New Delhi
also will continue to work for China's admission to the United
Nations; despite Nehru's remarks, however, the Indian delega-
tion may play a less active role in the future in supporting Peiping
at the UN.
The prime minister has rejected recent suggestions that
India and Pakistan work out a joint defense policy in the face of
increased Chinese military activity along the Himalayan frontier.
Nehru said he would be happy if the Dalai Lama could return
to Tibet "1,vith dignity," but that New Delhi would not force him to
return or but him in an embarrassing position.

II. ASIA-AFRICA
UAR-Chinese
ommunist Propa e Intensified
(The UAR is intensifying the intermittent and relatively mild
criticism of Communist China, which it has carried during the
past few weeks. On 30 April,
a lead article emphasizing Peiping's repudiation of the Bandung
principles of peaceful coexistence and noninterference and at-
tacking its activities in the Afro-Asian world. On 2 May the
Cairo weekly Akhbar al-Yawm bitterly criticized China for in-
vading Tibet and for supporting Communist activities among
the Arabs;I
The UAR information office in Cairo had previously pre-
pared and circulated a 60-page pamphlet comparing Communist
aggression in Tibet with the Hungarian suppressions. This drew
n imynpdiate propaganda and diplomatic response from Peiping.
L_Peiping has shown comparative restraint during the Cairo-
Moscow dispute, confining its action to articles deploring the
UAR's anti-Communist campaign and to private diplomatic rep-
resentation. No major Chinese Communist leader has yet at-
tacked Nasir publicly. Akhbar al-Yawni!s accusations, however,
are sure to draw scathing rejoinders and to quicken the deteri-
oration in Sino- UAR relations.
