GENERAL
1. Views on the Soviet UN walkout--US Embassy Belgrade
transmits the opinion of the Yugoslav Government that
the Soviet walkout from the UN is part of a scheme to
isolate Communist China from contacts with the outside
world. According to the Embassy, the Yugoslav Govern-
ment believes that the USSR does not "really want":
(a) the Chinese Communists to be seated in the UN; or
(b) the US to recognize the Chinese Communist Govern-
ment. Meanwhile, the US delegation at the UN reports the
fears of Secretary General Lie that unless the controversy
over the seating of the Chinese Communist delegation is
resolved within four to six weeks, the USSR may "stay
out of the UN for good, keep the Chinese Communists out
and proceed to set up a rival organization comprehending
perhaps 7 to 8 hundred million people."
(CIA Comment: CIA concurs with the Yugoslav
opinion that the USSR is seeking to discourage US recogni-
tion of Communist China. CIA further believes that:
(a) the Kremlin may wish to delay the seating of the
Chinese Communists in the UN until satisfactory poli-
tical and economic arrangements with Mao have been
concluded; and (b) the USSR is unlikely to withdraw from
the UN permanently.)
