the Afro-Asian Economic Conference at Cairo in 1)ecernber 1958
was printed but not delivered. Be did not talk about a "pool",
but instead, emphasised national economic development programs
and bilateral economic aid and trade. At most he gave passing
endorsement to "a more active utilisation of United Nations bodies
(re ional economic conunissions, the raw materials commission,

sian At the Afro-Asian Solidarity Conference at
Cairo in December 1957, Arsumanyan discussed various measures
that might be related to a "pooling concept, so far as pricing,
marketing and tariffs were concerned, but with emphasis on
economic development programs for individual countries. He made
it clear that the Soviet Union was not in favor of more advanced
"pool" ideas, such as an Afro-Asian "COMMOZ1 market" or develop-
ment bank, and that private capital investment as a "technique of
colonial plunder," among the Afro-Asian countries was definitely
undesirable.
11. Concerning the International Club in Brussels (paragraph
29, Reference "B"), we have noted that the WPC Bullet* recom-
mended that similar clubs shoulrl be set up in all capital cities. For
this reason, we feel that this type of organization bears watching. if
it is continued.
12. It is believed that the tactic expressed in pragraphe 10,
11, 12 and 13 of Reference "B" will be of major emphasis for future
WPC efforts--i.e., collaboration with "peace forces" outside the
Peace Movement. This was a major theme at the Moscow Zureau
meeting in February 1959, is used throughout the propaganda for
the 10th anniversary celebration, and is a major item in the current
"Geneva campaign" against nuclear tests and weapons. These other
"peace forces" will coneist of the anti-atomic war committees
springing up in many countries, national "liberation" movements,
west many individual* from the bona fide pacifist organizations
as can be drawn into "cooperation", such a. the Quakers, Brother-
hood of Reconciliation. Women's International League for Peace
and Freedom, and so forth. This is not a new tactic but it has a
new approach. The WPC now disclaims any desire for affiliation,
it openly sides with Soviet proposals as good volutions for inter-
national problems, but declares that the life-and-death subject of
