Ghana's government-appointed polling officials obediently turned in a 99.9 per cent score for "yes" votes in the signifi- cant February first referendum. The Convention People's Party is now designated the "vanguard of the people in their struggle to build a Socialist society," an almost verbatim copy of the clause from Article 126 of the Soviet Constitution. No attempt was made to conceal the coercive nature of the registered ballots system and the frequent unavailability of the "no" ballot box. This predicted "victory" gives Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana's President- for-life, the trappings of legality for future dictatorial de- cisions, foreshadowed by the December dismissal of the Chief Justice who acquitted three former officials of a treason charge. The elimination of an independent judiciary removes the last facade from Nkrumah's totalitarian "socialist" state.

While a Yugoslav correspondent in Moscow was reporting that people there have come to realize that Peking will not cease its anti-Soviet polemics, and thus Sino-Soviet relations "have entered a new phase" (Chrono, Jan. 20), the Soviets undertook some new moves against Peking. They began mass distribution (domestically, in Russian only, as far as reported) of a new book (signed to the press in October but evidently withheld because of the moratorium on polemics) by top CPSU ideologists vigorously attackin "the anti-Marxist doctrines of the CCP" (Chrono, Jan 21 Pravda editorial on the 19th omitted mention of any Asian party (other than Soviet-aligned Mongolia) when listing 1963 contacts among "the socialist countries" and "their Marxist-Leninist parties." On the 20th, TASS branded an NCNA report as "absolutely groundless and nothing but misinformation," and on the 30th a Pravda article entitled "Why Mislead?" con- demned the Chinese for trying to distort the peace initiatives of the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, in exchange for guaranteed sugar purchases, Castro signed a joint communique which confirmed "a complete unity of views" on all questions, including inter- national affairs and problems of the world Communist movement (Chrono, Jan 23). 2. The December and January issues of the Soviet-captive, multilingual, international monthly journal, Problems of Peace and Socialism'(World Marxist Review in English edition )s which has posed as the organ of the World Communist Movement, published several articles signed by Communists from various countries which clearly support Soviet and attack Chinese positions (Chrono, Jan. 27). (The Chinese and North Koreans withdrew completely from the PP&S operation and the Japanese decided to edit their own edition focally during the past year.) 3. The Chinese, rejoicing in the "tremendous welcome" given to Chou in 4 more African countries and in the agreement with the French establishing diplomatic relations, hardly men- tioned the terms of their dispute with Moscow during this period. Then in the first few days of February they released several blockbusters. People's Daily and other Peking press on the 3rd printed the text of the Pravda "Why Mis ead?" editorial plus a sardonic reply to it; excer stst from theiew Soviet "anti-China books" an NCNA announcement of the first of a series of volumes of anti-China material from the Soviet press;" and a slashing (#21 Commentary Cont.)

The following day appeared the seventh in the Joint People's Daily/Red Flag series pegged to the 14 July CPSU open letter, entitled "The Leaders of the CPSU Are the Greatest Splitters of Our Times." This 18,000-word blast is the most direct, insulting challenge yet to Khrushchev and the CPSU leadership. ee hrono, Addendum, for description of these pots deadline items.) 4. In two more non-Communist countries, Ceylon and Peru, pro-Chinese factions set themselves up in formal opposition to the old "revisionist leadership." In Ceylon, the dissidents held their own "Seventh Party Congress" Jan. 19-21, formed a new "Central Committee," and adopted resolutions repudiating Soviet- line resolutions of the old Party (Chrono, Jan. 25). Much the same thing happened on Jan. 18 in Peru, where the continuing struggle between the factions led to-the proclamation of a new Party organ, Bandera Roja (Red Flag) and the storming of the offices of the old-line Party daily Vn idad by the pro-Chinese forces on Jan. 27, with demolition of its installations (Chrono, Jan. 18-27). 5. A new communique by the North Vietnamese Party con- firmed its solidly pro-Chinese orientation Chrono, Jan. 21) -- although the Party also dispatched a top-level delegation for Party talks in Moscow (Jan. 27). Italian CP boss Togliatti reiterated the PCI's opposition to an early world party conference and support of a meetings of the parties of Western Europe (Chrono, Jan. 21). Meanwhile, additional reports from Bucharest demon- strate the long strides taken by Rumania in the direction of independence from Soviet domination -- and apparently in a some- what Westerly direction (Chrono, Jan. 20 and 22). 6. An interesting note of yet undetermined significance was introduced after the end of the period when Chou was reported by Edgar Snow as saying in their interview that "we have reached an agreement with the Soviet Union that negotiations be held an the Sino-Soviet boundary questions." Significance: The Sino-Soviet conflict flared to a new intensity as the Soviets -- their plea and unilateral moratorium on polemics having failed to win Chinese reciprocity -- published a few new propaganda thrusts, ---- only to encounter the most savage Chi- nese attacks of all, including a taunting dare to the Soviets to carry out their "threats and intimidation." This new Chinese onslaught would seem to represent a "last straw," a point-of no return in the degeneration of relations between the two parties and states, ---- except that relations have survived a series of previous attacks which looked like "last straws" in their turn!

On the other hand, the Chinese gains -- not only in the free world, with Chou's further personal conquests and de Gaulle's recognition, but also in the Communist movement, with the estab- lishment of organized pro-Chinese parties in Ceylon and Peru -- are concrete and probably irreversible, seemingly supporting the monumental arrogance of their latest polemical blasts. Moscow's problems in trying to handle relations with the rampaging Chinese are truly staggering. 25X1C10b (#21 Commentary Cont.)

Chou's charm reportedly won warm response during the remainder of his tour of Mali (15-21), in Guinea (21-27), in the Sudan (27-30) and in Ethiopia from the 30th. He is expected in Somalia on Feb. 1 for a 3-day stay, but scheduled visits to Kenya and Tanganyika have been "postponed." It was announced that the post- ponements were decided by the Chinese, -- but Tanganyika President Nyerere also canceled his proposed visit to China, and observers saw the changes as tied to Chinese broadcasts attacking the use of British troops to put down the mutinies and to indications of Chinese complicity in the turbulent events. Moscow continued to avoid direct comment on the Chou trip. January 18 - An Albanian Zeri I Popullit editorial commenting on the 8 January joint Alban an- nose declaration capping Chou's visit coined a new prase In the poem cs: a failure of the plans of N. chev against our country proved to the world that modern revisionism, like imperialism, is a 'paper tiger."' Ehrushchev's rev sons group as stopped at nothing, iti says: "it has gone so far as to plot against our country, sometimes in a hidden or indirect manner and sometimes directly. It has acted in the same manner against the CPR." Etc. January 18-27 - On January 18-19, the pro-Chinese faction of the Peruvian held its own congress at which ey ,expelVW several old guard pro-Soviet Party leaders and "elected new leadership." At a press conference several days later, Dr. Saturnino Paredes, "newly elected First Secretary," states that his group "will staunchly defend Marxist-Leninist principles" and supports Fidel Castro. At the same time, Victor Acosta, Secretary General of the old PCP issues a statement belittling the importance of the rebel group. On January 27 the pro-Chinese storm the building housing the old Party's daily Unidad and demolish the installa- tions. (Local press and radio -reports, plus NCNA.) January 19 - A Pravda editorial pegged to the continuing Castro visit extolls the visits of delegations and the personal meetings walks between leaders as "the good tradition furthering the strengthening of friendship" of "the socialist countries their Marxist-Leninist parties, and fraternal coup res. then re- counts such fraternal contacts curing a pas year, including specific reference to all contacts involving, in addition to Cuba, the CEMA countries -- including Mongolia -- and Yugoslavia -- but with no mention of any parties of Asia. On the same ay the major Chinese papers publish a long excerpt from the December issue of the Japanese 's theoretical and political journal Zenei entitled "Sino- ov e o emics and Revisionism in Japan" whicf--is intended to "refute the slanderous attacks on the Chinese CP by Noboro Sato and other renegades o e Jup, {{'*~21 Chronology Cont.)

All Chinese papers prominently feature the story on the 25th. January 20 - Belgrade Borba carries an article by its Moscow correspondent Bayalski ating that people in Moscow think that relations between the USSR and China have entered a new phase' Mat they realize by now that eking is unwilling to give up its anti-Soviet polemics, that they sharply criticize Chinese behavior, and they believe that the dispute will continue for a long time to come. Bayalski goes on to say that the Soviet leader- ship is not yet decided whether it should continue to refrain from countering the Chinese attacks, explaining that "this, of course, is an intricate problem ... and one must always consider not only the interests of the CPSU and the Soviet Union, but those of all socialist countries and of the international Communist movement. This is how people here explain the fact that the Soviets have refrained from polemics." Tass takes exception to a 12 January NCNA report on the return to na o ou Hung-ching, the n erpreter of a Chinese delegation who had defected in Tokyo in October, which "contends that Chou was forcibly detained for several hours at the USSR Embassy in Japan, despite alleged appeals ... by representatives of the Japanese public and also by the Japanese authorities." This statement, Tass declares, "is absolutely oundless and is nothin but misinformation of up bl c opinion.- a same me, ass announces A "a new group of Chinese specialists has arrived at Dubna .. to work at the Joint Institute of Nuclear Research.... The group of Chinese workers at the institute is now the most numerous of all ire groups of people's democratic countries." January 20 and 22 - New York Times carries two articles by its Bucharest correspondent Binder summing up numerous developments in Rumania's "Independence Drive," which "a Western observer des- cribes as e- uss ca on u the discreet official of the Gheorghiu-De regime prefer to term 'Rumanification."' The biggest single change came last autumn with the a'abolit the Maxim Gorky Institute of Russian Language and Literature, which had been a center of Soviet educational influence," and Russian was eliminated as a compulsory language in the schools. 90 percent of the contents of Lumea, the weekly magazine which replaces the Rumanian edition of-Moscow's New Times (see Chrono, Dec. 27-30), are said to be reprints from Western publications. A guide pointed to a razed area filled with rubble and said simply: "That was the Russian bookstore." The Russian names of several shops and movie houses have been changed to Rumanian. Foreign trade statistics disclose that Rumania's commerce with Western countries grew from 20% to 33% of the total during the last 4 years, and the press is publicizing the presence of Western concerns in the country.

On the other extreme, the Albanian Zeri I Popullit editorial included some of the most vitriolic attacks to date on "the splitting and sapping activity engaged in by the N. Khrushchev group to revise and discredit Marxism-Leninism," on its "demagogy and intrigue," its "capitula- tion," "treason," and "blackmail." The only Rumanian comment we have seen was by a Prof. Bugnaru who never once mentoned the CPSU, although the views he set forth were generally in tune with ?oe Soviet line. The Chinese did not even mention the anniversar in any report seen by us.

All Chinese gapers carried full text of this North Vietnam communique a on the 3rd.

January 23 - Castro's 10-day visit with IChrushchev concluded with a long-term agreement covering Soviet purchase of Cuban sugar at guaranteed prices and a joint communique which declared that "a complete unity of views was confirmed on all the questions dis- cussed," which Included nterna onal problems of interest to both sides and urgent question on a world Communist and workers movement.- Later In the communique, the formulation was: "complete Ident ty of views as expressed in the joint Soviet-Cuban statement of 23 May 1963." In amplifying on this "identity of views," the communique states that Cuba "considers the success achieved by the Soviet Union in the struggle for the cessation of nuclear tests... is a step forward toward peace and disarmament," thus contradicting the strong Chinese attack on the test-ban treaty and possibly indicating Cuba's intent to sign. It also says that Castro "stated the support" of Cuba for Khrushchev's new proposal for a treaty renouncing the use o orce in terri- torial disputes, The Soviet press exulted: av a s editorial on the ca led the communique "a documento of enormous significance ... impregnated from beginning to end by the complete unity of views" of the two parties and governments. January 25 - An Albanian Zeri IIPPopuullit editorial, "The Voyage to Africa and Albania by Comm a chou sn-Tai and the Reaction of the Titoists," begins by denouncing the Tito gang for its violent reaction to the Chou visit but soon goes on to its main thrust: "While the Tito gang launched open attacks against the k an-'ic its peace policy with the aim of obscuring ... the great inter- national role of China, the other modern revisionists organized a conspiracy of silence regarding a historic visit by the Premier of the CPR tats council.

It goes out of the way to denounce "the Dange group of the API" and "some people calling themselves Communists" who support and praise them. New York Times writer Harry Schwartz reviews an article in the December issue of World Marxist Review (English-language edition of Problems of Peace an Socialism, ' a Soviet-supported, Prague-based, mu - ngua monthly ournal,by Luis Corvalan, General Secretary of the Chilean CP, which sharply attacks, the Chinese Communists for trying to force the Castro ofrevolu- on on the OUTO-ans who are dedicated to a policy of non- violent revolution. The letter reveals that the Chinese CP sent "a recent letter" to the Chilean CP with this aim, c u d the statement: "In Latin America the 'peaceful way' which you advocate stands in sharp contrast to the revolu- tionary way of Fidel Castro and the other comrades who led the Cuban people to victory." The last issue of our Chronology reported a Reuters Moscow dis- patch (Jan. C) reporting that the lead article in the January issue of PP &S, signed by a Czech, a Canadian and a Syr'- attackingie Chinese press for recognizing dissident splinter groups as "genuine communist revolutionaries," and a subsequent report has described another anti-Chinese article in the same issue by Jaime Peras, Secretary of the Uruguayan CP. January 30 - Pravda features an "Observer" article entitled "Why sea f"""which protests that, while the Khrushchev proposal for an international treaty renouncing the use of force in territorial disputes has been published, welcomed and given serious study in most countries of the world, the Chinese press organs have not published it or any of the world reaction to it but "take it upon themselves to comment on these documents and even to make an assessment of them." It asks: "Why mislead the Chinese people and turn them against the Sov a people?" Observer com- plains:"It is as ifin na they prefer to hand newspaper readers rea -made assertions and assessments .... IT on the same day, the nese press features a harshly taunting article from the December issue of the Malayan Monitor, London-published organ of the Malayan CP, which says that "everywhere the modern revisionists have suffered a crushing defeat in the great debate, thanks to the staunch and well-prepared efforts of the anti- revisionist leadership and ranks of the Communist and workers parties of the world, in particular the CCP, the Albanian Workers Party the eP's of Korea, Indonesia, the DRV,' etc. It taunts Khrushchev directly: 5 (#21 Chronology Cont.)

Lest anyone have doubts as to whom it means by "modern revisionists," the article states clearly: "It is no accident that both Khrushchev and Tito are now in the same ideological camp -- openly and eves defiantly." (In view of the importance of several developments in the four days immediately following the close of our reporting period, we are attaching this Addendum to include some reference to them.)

The Lot of the Soviet Citizen 25X1ClOb BACKGaOTJ D: Economic development requires investment in plants and acfiines, and this means saving, i.e., foregoing a certain amount of immediate consumption in the expectation of greater returns in the future. But the ratio of saving to consumption is not fixed or automatic, and is not determined by purely economic forces. In some places, the pressures a g a I n s t saving (or reckless consumption) have hampered development. In others saving has been exalted into an article of faith and a tool of power: suc s the case with the SS,. Communist slogans suggest that the goal of Marxism-Lenin- ism is the welfare of the ordinary citizen. In practice, however, the main goal of Soviet planning has been to maintain and to enhance the power of the CPSU and its leaders. By any objective standard, the collectivization of agriculture has been a failure; some Soviet experts foresaw the difficulties, even before col- lectivization was introduced. But Stalin wanted to rule the peasants, not negotiate with them. Now the prestige of the party, as well as a large part of its power, is linked to the collective system. In industry, the policy of developing capital goods and military production has served the power interests of the Kremlin, w a n preferred to rely on secret police and anus rather than appease popular demands or reach accommodations with foreign powers (except Nazi Germany). Stalin's terrorism was too vicious and self-defeating to last, and steel production is (as Ihrushchev has admitted) no longer the yardstick of political power: there are other weapons now besides the steel-eating cruisers, tanks, howitzers, and H3 shells. But PSU prestige is still invested in Stalin's system of plans, quotas, and norms, and the new weapons require vast new investments in materials and technical skills. Also, the planners continue to bow before the old idols of dams and blast furnaces, partly out of habit. Khrushchev tries to appease the Soviet consumer with words and sometimes even with deeds, but his plans and programs still pro- vide for industrial output to grow faster than consumer goods. As shortages continue, he explains that consumers must defer to the needs of national defense against the supposedly aggressive imperialists. Years of neglect of consumer goods, housing, and services cannot De remedied overnight. s e a tached materials show, Soviet housing is behind schedule and shoddy in quality; cuts in working hours and increases in take-home pay have been post- poned; the growth rate in consumer goods is falling off; and bread is getting grayer. On 1 June 1962, even before the 1963 crop failure, ricer for meat and butter increased 30 per cent and 25 per cent respectively. The failures of agriculture 733 .

Chicoms Seek to Break Isolation 25X1C10b BACKGROUND: Communist China has recently taken several steps to re out of a self-imposed isolation characterized by a hard, inflexible attitude and by aggressive actions toward neighbors. This Chicom change of tactics is apparently based on conclusions drawn from the Sino-Soviet dispute and her posi- tion vis-a-vis the non-Communist world, Tactical decisions of the Chinese Communist regime are intimately affected by the nature and extent of her ambitions and also by her arrogance. Communist China aspires not only to leadership of the world Communist movement and not only to a prominent role in world affairs, but to the d o m i n a n t position in both worlds. There is ample evidence of this aspiration in the Great Leap Forward -- an attempt to convert, in a few short years, a back- ward, inefficient, undisciplined agricultural society with practically no industrial base, into the most powerful nation on earth. That they should attempt it at all is testimony of their driving ambition; that they should persist in the attempt, despite warnings of their friends and overwhelming economic knowledge and experience accrued by Marxist and non-Marxist countries alike, provides an accurate gauge of their arrogance, While the whole effort failed miserably, they have never renounced it and have even shown signs that they may try it again some day. CC? Gains Against the CPSU. The Chinese Communists have made headway in e r quarrel with the Soviet Union. They have successfully captured the initiative in the Communist Parties of Asia (See guidance item 730, 13 January 1964); they are now ready for an intensified attack against the CPSU's hegemony within the other Communist Parties of the world, having already had some success in these activities. The Italian CP newspaper, L'Unita, has said that Peking "supports fractionist groups in Belgium., France, Greece, Switzerland and Italy." There are pro- Chinese splinter groups in the British and Austrian Communist Parties and Chinese sympathizers in Scandinavia. In Latin America there are dissidents in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Venezuela, and there is a dissi- dent C? in Brazil. The Chinese Communists have also been active in the Communist international front groups: they first try to take over the front and, failing this, attempt to split it (see guidance item 711, 13 November 1953). All of these activ- ities are aimed at displacing the CPSU as leader of the world Communist camp. To this end, the Chicoms have created a vast propaganda app aratus. They have expanded their International ra io road- ca.s ing acilities: Radio Peking now uses 27 short wave Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78~03861~$$ Do 56003-3 (73g4PpMvdd For Release -RDP78-03 ICM-3 transmitters to carry daily programs even in such languages as Swahili, Tamil and Hausa, in addition to extensive programming in all the major languages of the world. There are reports that the Chicoms are paying the bill to expand Radio Tirana (Albania) into a large international broadcasting center to carry the Chinese line to Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The New China News Agency has more than 50 offices in all parts of the world and is still expanding. The Peking Review, which started life as a simple vehicle to inform ra erna parties of domestic Mainland developments, has become an organ supporting Communist China's campaign for leadership of the Communist bloc. It is printed in English, French, Spanish and Japanese (See guidance item 708, 4 November 1963). The second conclusion apparently drawn by the Chicoms concerns their position and relationships with the non-Communist world. The CPSU and its adherents (as we as the non- ommunis world) have used China's hard line in general and her position on the nuclear-test treaty in particular to isolate China and publicize her image as an implacable advocate of violence and nuclear war. To change this image and to gain access to denied areas, the Chinese Communists have undertaken an extensive campaign supported by the propaganda network mentioned above and supplemented by such other tactics as Chou En-lai's recent tour of Africa. Chou, in his public appearances, is impressing the Africans with his "reasonableness" and his "understanding" of Africa's problems (See guidance item 734, 27 January 1964). It is safe to guess that in some of his private conversations he is discussing China's correctness in the Sino-Soviet dispute. At this juncture, the CPR's most prominent success is deGaulle's recognition and agreement to exchange ambassadors. It is to be expected that ? in the near future, Communist China will intensify her efforts to get recognition from other Western and uncommitted governments and to snow-ball herself into ad- mission into the United Nations. One tactic that can be anti- cipated is the bait of China's "vast market of 700 million people," coupled with the threat that those who come first will receive the most favors in negotiating trade agreements. It is too early to predict what will happen on the ques- tion of China's admission to the United Nations or even how many countries will follow France's lead and grant ?eking dip- lomatic recognition. It seems probable, for the immediate future, that Communist China will continue all activities con- tributing to her dual image as best suited to leadership of the world Communist movement and, at the same time, as destined to become the leader of an alliance of Asian, African, and Latin American countries. 25X1C10b Approved For Release RDP7$MOt1ABQQ72QQg50003-3 (73App oved For Relea IA-RDP78-03b913A*Ub5-3 25X1C10b 3 (739.

On 17 April 1964, Khrushchev will be 70 years old, and overdue for retirement. The Communist custom of celebrating multiple 5th and 10th anniversa- ries and their unprecedented propaganda ballyhoo on the occasion of Stalin's 70th birthday (21 December 1949) make this an apt occasion for another major effort. Khrushchev has outlived the expected life span of Soviet males (64.0 years) and has reached the decades where the incidence of death is highest. Only one US President has served in the White House past his 70th birthday --Eisenhower in his last year. That Khrushchev is slowing down is shown by the record of his speech-making. He made formal speeches 24 times in 1958, 29 times in 1959, 21 times in 196b, 33 times in 1961, 15 times in 1962, and 14 times in 1963. His latest pictures show-an older, thinner man than the hard-drinking, shoe- banging activist of the late 1950's. On 24 April 1963, shortly after his last birthday, Khrushchev gave a speech in which he suggested that perhaps he was considering retirement--or perhaps that others had suggested it, and he had refused to agree. (Texts of this and other statements referred to in this guidance are contained in an unclassified attachment, "Khrushchev Speaks," The texts are referred to in this section by parenthetical numbers. 25X1C10b The Ends Justice the Means. All politicians occasionally contradict themselves, or fail to carry out promises. Khrushchev has, however, an almost unparalleled record for inconsistency and failure to perform. In 1961, in the midst of a denunciation of Stalin, Khrushchev approved of a "proposal" for A monument to the victims of Stalin, including the former Ukrainian leaders, Postyshev and Kosior. (2) Actually, Khrushchev himself had been a member, together with Molotov and NKVD chief Yezhov, of a Special Commission sent by Stalin in August 1937 to wipe out Ukrainian nationalism. In January 1938, it was Khrushchev Who replaced Postyshev as alternate member of the Politburo, and Kosior as First Secretary of the Ukrainian Central Committee. On 26 May of that year, Khrushchev stated that "the peoples of the Soviet Union rejoice that they have uprooted this foul, abominable, treacherous gang, the loathsome Trotskyite-Bukharinite bandits, that they have eradicated and exterminated them under the leader- ship of our great Stalin, under the leadership of our Nikolai Ivanovich Yezhov." (also 3,4) On 19 June 1938, a new Central Committee was elected for the Ukraine; only three men (less than three per cent) remained unpurged from the 1937 Central Committee. Khrushchev's Ukrainian purge outdid Stalin's purg of the A11- Union Central Committee: _there 16J per cent of the Central Com- mittee members elected in 1934 were re-elected in 1939, da~ (740 Cont,) Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200050003-3 Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200050003-3 (740 Cont.) ww~ 10 February 1964 Some grisly remnants of the Ukrainian purges were discovered during the World War II German occupation: in 1943, a Ukrainian doctor at Vinnitsa uncovered 95 mass graves containing 9,439 victims, shot in the back of the neck. Relatives identified some of the bodies as persons arrested for "nationalism" in late 1937 and 1938, and medical experts concluded that the deaths occurred between 1938 and 1940, that is during the period of Khrushchev's rule. It is charitable to assume that Khrushchev acted only to save his own neck, and it is pleasant to note that he has repudi- ated Stalin's methods. It is not true, however, that he rejected Stalin as soon as the old man was dead. While Premier, Georgi Malenkov pioneered in urging more emphasis on consumer goods, and in saying that a new world war would mean "the destruction of world civilization." But Khrushchev took up the cudgels for heavy industry, attacking "right deviationists" (i.e., Malenkov) in the old Stalinist style. (5) At that time, Khrushchev did his best to identify himself and his allies (such as Molotov and Bulganin) with Stalin, so that a biographical article described him in March 1955 as "one of the closest comrades-in-arms of J.V. Stalin," and Khrushchev himself praised Bulganin in the same terms in a speech of 8 February 1955. One year later, as everyone now knows, Khrushchev denounced Stalin in a secret speech at the 20th CPSU Congress; within four years, Khrushchev revealed that Bulganin was a member of the "anti-Party group." Prophecies and Promises: An Economy of Abundance for the People. Since 1955, Khrushchev has made many promises about catching up with the West. On 22 May 1957, in Leningrad, he promised to catch up with the United States in milk production by 1958, involving an increase of 40 per cent. (6) Thanks to the excellent 1958 conditions, an increase of 19 per cent was actually achieved; in the four years after 1958, only a further 5 per cent was gained, according to Soviet statistics. When this speech was republished in a series of collected speeches in 1962, the spe- cific prophecy was omitted, and he was only said to have stated that the USSR could overtake the US "in the next few years." Reporting an the CPSU program at the 22nd CPSU Congress in 1961 Khrushchev predicted that industrial output would increase six- fold, and agricultural output two and one half times by 1980. Thus industrial output, the star performer of Soviet statistics, was to increase by an average of 9 to 10 per cent throughout the period. Yet industrial output, according to a Soviet economist (Valentin Kudrov), was down to 8.5 per cent in 1963 from a 1962 9.5 per cent. (Western analysts believe that all Soviet indus- trial output figures are inflated by double counting -- e.g., counting both a machine and the steel used to make it -- and in other ways, and that non-military industrial output for 1963 was about 7 per cent. See also Peter Wiles, "Western Research into the Soviet Economy," Survey, January 1964, p. 76; Wiles believes most private Western analysts would put the annual average for 1959 and 1961 at 7 per cent.) Despite this 1963 drop, and de- 2 Approved For Rely IA-RD0400 Ad00200050003-3 (74I ~1.ef For Relep~~ QIRl~ ?

But in agri- culture, the twenty-year program must already--in its third year --be regarded as a lost cause. A Pravda article of 13 January stated that agricultural output for 1963 was 50 per cent higher than in 1952: this "good-sounding" statistic, when compared with other Soviet figures, indicates that the 1963 harvest was 9 per cent below the 1962 level, which was itself a mediocre year. In fact this 1963 harvest is below any year since 1957, when Khru- shchev gained full control of the Soviet government. Although nearly half of Khrushchev' s 1958-63 speeches have been on agri- culture and related affairs, agriculture has not advanced. Since Stalin's death, the plowed and sown area in the so-called Virgin Lands increased 410 per cent, but output for this area for 1963 was only 48 per cent greater than in 1953; the yield per hectare fell from 8.7 quintals to 3.1 quintals. Over the decade, yields averaged 6.3 quintals, while the target set by Khrushchev and the Central Committee had been 10 to 11 quintals. Actually, it is largely Khrushchev's campaign approach to agriculture, his peddling of one panacea after another and in particular, his attempt to gain rapid results by plowing without fertilizing, that have brought about the current agricultural difficulties. 25X1C10b %a - - 16M (740 Cont.)

AF, FE, WH Made in Czechoslovakia: New Meanin for an Old Trademark 25X1C10b BACKGROUND: Between the two world wars, Czechoslovakia became known throughout the world as a prosperous and orderly country with a government based on Parliament and elections by secret ballot. Through the inherent diligence of its people, the trademark "Bade in Czechoslovakia" became known and respected in all corners of the globe. Heavy and precision machinery, textiles, shoes, glass, costume jewelry, as well as the excellent Pilsen beer and Prague hams, were as easily found in Hong Kong as in Buenos Aires. Following the years of Nazi occupation, the people of Czechoslovakia were delivered into the "Soviet sphere of influ- ence" as a result of WWII developments. The implied threat of Soviet military intervention greatly helped the Czechoslovak Communist Party in seizing control in 1948. After a period in which the Communists consolidated their power, condemning 60,000 people to exile and additional thousands to prison and to the gallows, Czechoslovakia became totally subjugated to the Soviet Union, in domestic affairs as well as in international relations. Once the Czechoslovak Communists had been placed in control, the Soviet Union lost no time in exploiting the country. Not only were there valuable natural resources and a highly developed industry, but its pre-war reputation as a democratic, orderly nation and a producer of fine goods made Czechoslovakia an excel- lent carrier for the export of Communism by the Soviet Bloc. Czechoslovakia became a spearhead for Communist subversion of underdeveloped areas. Latin America was given high priority because Soviet representatives are barred in many of these coun- tries and where the Soviets do maintain diplomatic relations they are unpopular and closely watched. The majority of Czechoslovak trade representatives stationed overseas resigned after the Communist takeover and sought asylum abroad. Under orders from Moscow the New Czech regime replaced, the former trade representatives, diplomats and military attaches with reliable Party cadres. Many individuals sent abroad, even in a semi-official capacity, had to undergo special training. The former Czech Military Attache in Washington, Frantisek Tisler, testified in 1960 that about 45 percent of Czech officials abroad are trained in espionage and political warfare, and are actually employed and controlled not by the Ministries of Foreign Affairs or Foreign Trade, but by the Ministry of Interior (in charge of secret police and espionage). r T. r. w w _ (741 Cont. ) Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200050003-3 Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000 BR 50003-3 ('41 .;ont. 7 Fe ruary The overall scope of Czech efforts in underdeveloped world areas has grown conspicuously out of proportion to normal econ- omic or diplomatic activities of so small a country, especially with domestic economic difficulties publicly admitted by Party Secretary, Antonin Novotny, and other regime officials. the Czech regime has followed the universal Communist pattern of failure in agriculture and industry. Not only have these fail- ures been visited heavily on the Czech consumer, but the coun- try's outstanding reputation for reliable products has been clouded by the export of shoddy goods and resulting complaints from buyers worldwide. In the face of this, the Czech regime has continued to give high priority to foreign programs. For example, the Czechs are believed to have more personnel in Latin America than the Soviet Union and other Satellites combined; the demonstrable Czech per ca ita contribution to political activity abroad is more than twice that of the Soviet Union. 25X1C10b 2 {{ )) Approved For Releas 9 / 4 : CIA-RDP781b3061A000200050003-3 Approved For Release 1 9 0 78-030igA%%'2M0 3 7-2 AF,FE,WH. Cuba's Long-range Sugar Pact With Russia 25X1C10b BACKGROUND: Fidel Castro's trip to the Soviet Union, 13-23 January , has resulted in a trade pact that will have far- reaching effects on Cuba's economy. Under the terms of the agree- ment, Russia will buy the bulk of Cuba's sugar production for a period of six years at a guaranteed price of six cents a pound. Cuba, in turn, pledges to deliver a total of 24.1 million tons, as follows: 2.1 million tons in 1965; 3.0 million tons in 1966; 4.0 million tons in 1967; 5.0 million tons each year in 1968, 1969, and 1970. In order to meet these quotas, Castro hopes to increase the production of sugar to 10 million tons a year by 1968. This ambitious program contrasts sharply with last year's production of 3.8 million tons and even with Cuba's highest pro- duction: 7.2 million tons attained in 1952. In spite of much speculation, largely stimulated by the ap- parent suddenness of his departure and the unusual secrecy sur- rounding the preparations, Castro's trip to the USSR did not come about as a result of the Panama riots. That Cuban agents partic- ipated in them, there can be little doubt. But it is almost equally certain that Castro was as much surprised as the local Panamanian Communist Party at the sudden manner in which the riots escalated in magnitude and violence. Castro had probably arranged for this trip some time before: he is reported to have told a European visitor late in December that the two could not get to- gether again until after January, since he was going to be absent from Cuba during most of that month. On balance, Castro's trip was something of a diplomatic triumph, both for him and for Khrushchev. For Castro.. Cuba will S be assured a stable price for its sugar over a to :.-of six years. While six cents a pound is only a little oyerlm.lf the current market price, it is higher than the average of the last ten years. Castro argues that it is better for Cuba to be as- sured of a stable price for sugar over a long period of time than to try to make a few quick profits from momentarily high prices at the risk of losing later when prices drop. Sugar prices, since World War II, have fluctuated dispro- portionately -- by comparison with metals, cotton, beef, grains, or even coffee -- ranging from less than three to over eleven cents a pound. One of the things that Latin American countries have been crying loudest for, especially the one-crop countries, is a stable price for their key commodities. They angrily accuse the United States of paying low prices for raw materials and selling the finished products at high prices; they claim that manufac- tured products have steadily risen in price while raw materials (742 Cont.)

Of course there is enough truth is this argument to make good propaganda against the U.S. Susceptible Latin American audiences will be impressed by this aspect of the trade pact. The quid pro quo in the deal, at least at the moment, for Khrushchev, was Castro's support of Moscow in the Sino-Soviet conflict as spelled out in a joint communique issued at the end of the visit. Castro endorsed the Soviet interpretation of the pronouncements of the Moscow Communist ?arty conferences of 1957 and 1960, and specifically approved Soviet measures to strengthen the unity of the international Communist movement. He further agreed that Moscow's peaceful coexistence policy has brought about "a certain easing of international tensions" and somewhat belatedly sided with the Soviets on the nuclear test ban treaty. 25X1C1Ob 2 (742 Cont.)

Methods of Subversion. Large numbers of Zanzibari students went abroad -- ma n y o ast Europe and China but also to Cuba -- for education of the Communist variety. AbdukrE.',man Mohamed "Babu," kingpin of the revolution and now Foreign Min- ister, personally selected many of the students who travelled through Cairo -- many illegally -- to the Communist training schools. Trade union officials and scores of potential leaders tapped by the Communist World Federation of- Trade Unions received special training courses; the Secretary of the Zanzibar Federation of Progressive Trade Unions was trained in Peking. The Havana office of the Zanzibar Nationalist Party (ZNP) received "students," trained them in guerrilla warfare tactics and later directed them against the legally elected government of the newly independent Zanzibar which included the ZNP. youth arms of the Afro-Shirazi (ASP) and the Umma p shock troops of the revolution, did the actual fighting under the leadership of self-styled Field Marshall John Okello and -- and perh -- by Cuba arm (Fo some 40 hotheads tandnCommunist tiesaof theecoup leaders, seer specific training the biographic sketches attached).

Political Moves included familiar united front tactics whereby a u s mma party cooperated with the trade unions and the ASp in opposition to the coalition government of mid-1963. By so doing, they not only strengthened the anti-government opposition but played upon -- and ultimately directed toward revolution -- both the genuine nationalism and the African racialism of the ASP. Following the coup, Karume of the AS? was installed as president of the people's Republic, probably because of his popular following. A power struggle still appears undecided but Babu is believed to be the strongman of the government. Soviet-sponsored Communist fronts have pro- vided means of contacting, training an inane na g individuals for seizing organizational power, for spreading thinly-disguised propaganda and for increasing local front memberships. The Cairo ZT? office had close contacts with the Cairo AAPSO office which in turn had direct ties with Moscow and ?eking. (See Ref 4)., 25X1ClOb (743.

AAPSO Interest in the organization of African Unity 25X1C10b BAC4SGROUND: Afro-Asian Peoples Solidarity Organization (AAPS?, an o~ soot of the Communist-controlled World peace Council, was established in 1057 with Headquarters in Cairo os- tensibly to coordinate the efforts of the Afro-Asian countries in developing their economic and cultural resources. By 1360 the control of the Organization was firmly in the hands of the vino-Soviet Bloc. Representatives of the Soviet Union and Com- munist China supported by Communist party members from Asian countries and Communist lining members of African revolutionary movements have since a me held worn ng majorities on a policy making and action bodies of the organization (i.e. the Executive Committee, the Fund Committee, and the Permanent Secretariat). The Permanent Secretariat is funded almost entirely by equal annual contributions from the Soviet Union, Communist China, and the UAR. Small donations from other members are inconse- quential. The Fund Committee, responsible for doling out material aid to -revolutionary movements, is under the direction of three officers: Ismail Toure, president, Chu Tzu-chi of China and Mehdi Den Barka of Morocco, Vice Presidents. Inasmuch as both Ismail Toure and Mehdi Ben Barka have consistently fol- lowed the Chinese line at both the Committee and Secretariat level, the Fund Committee is in fact under Chinese control. At the October 1963 meeting of this Committee, Ismail Toure thanked the Chinese for their contributions and singled them out as the only members that had completely fulfilled their obligations to the Fund Committee. Since the Communists took over control of the Organization, the major AAPSO objective has been to liquidate all traces of colonialism and neo-colonialism in Africa and Asia. To this end, AA?uO material and propaganda support has been directed toward militant revolutionary groups in still dependent countries and toward radical pro-Communist opposition parties in countries whose governments are not willing to line up with the Communist Bloc. The AA?SO has supported among others the exiled pro- Communis Union des-Populations merounaises (UPC) in its efforts to overthrow President Ahidjo in the Cameroun Republic, the Sawaba Party against ?resident Diori of Niger, and the Union Nationale des Forces Populaires (UNFP) against wing Iiassan of Morocco. It has promoted the Oginga Odinga wing of the Kenya African National Union, Oscar Xambona in Tanganyika, Congress Party for Independence of Madagascar and the Communist- controlled African National Congress in South Africa.

Within the fraoewor.: of the OAU, the Committee of Nine is now the main instrument for aiding liberat on t ovemer sin Africa. As such it has become an object of major interest to e E S?. Dis- cussions of how best to collaborate with the Committee of Nine have taken place at all levels in AAPSO policy circles. The matter has received careful attention at Secretariat meetings, at Fund Committee meetings, and at the Executive Committee meet- ing of September 1963. These discussions have resulted in an AXPSO decision that "collaboration" is essential between the two organizations interested in aiding liberation movements in Africa, that is the AA..?SO and the Committee of Nine. It is too soon to see whether the AAP O will be successful in effecting a liaison with the Committee of Nine but indications are that the AA?SO will certainly press in this direction in the coming months. >Turther, some AA?SO leaders (e.g. Oscar L,arbona, Ismail aoure) hold hey poste ons n the ^ommittee of Nine, a circumstance facilitating contact between the two organizations. 25X1ClOb 2 "ERMIEW6 (744.
