China's UN representatives frustrated. There are some
indications that the Chinese Nationalist UN Delegation is reacting
to the pressure caused by the Soviet boycott and the withdrawal of
the government to Taiwan. A Cuban representative has hinted that the
chief Chinese delegate, Tsiang, may resign to make the turnover in
Chinese representation as easy as possible. Tsiang himself tenta-
tively suggested the desirability of the Chinese Delegation volun-
tarily leaving the Six Power atomic energy talks, thus removing an
excuse for the Soviet boycott of these discussions. Meanwhile, the
Nationalist ECOSOC representative is reportedly considering
resignation before the July session of the Council.
Cumulatively, these reports betoken a growing sense of frustra-
tion in the Nationalist Delegation, which sees little hope for
successfully airing its charges against the USSR in the GA Interim
Committee. In the Security Council, the Nationalist seat is held
by an already precarious margin which could be upset whenever
Ecuador and Egypt decide to withdraw their support, as SYG Lie
anticipates. Should this occur, Nationalist China would be forced
to rely on its veto to stave off its ouster. in the light of the
growing restiveness of its delegates, it is doubtful whether the
Taiwan government would go to such extremes merely to delay the
Inevitable.
Communists revise anti-MDAP strike strategy. Faced with
increasingly effective opposition to its drive against the MDAP
shipments, the Communist leadership in Western Europe is apparently
making significant changes in its strategy for combatting these
shipments. Communist activity in the WDAP ports now appears to be
concentrated principally upon building up popular war fears and only
secondarily upon physical interference with arms deliveries.
Although disruption of these deliveries is still a major objective,
the Communists-are said to hold no illusions regarding their ability
to interfere seriously with the actual unloadings. Another signif -
Icant tactical shift is the greater emphasis which they are currently
giving to economic grievances of workers in defense industries.
Communist cadres in the French trade union "committees for defense
of peace" are calling for monthly wage increases and cost-of-living
bonuses, particularly on the railroads servicing the MDAP ports and
in the mines.
Although the Kremlin thus appears to be moving with greater
caution against MDAP,, concealing its political objectives wherever
possible, it remains cormr:itted to the campaign for widespread
maritime and transport stoppages coordinated through the World
Federation of Trade Unions and the Peace Partisans Committees. The
scope of this campaign Is reflected In a recently printed CGT

publication revealing that the Communist parties are seeking to close
"the ports of the continent to the arms for the imperialists". The
principal ports of the continent and North Africa are designated,
ranging from Oslc and Goteborg In the north to Naples, Tunis and
Algiers in the south. However, cognizant of the stiffening
resistance of the JPAP governments and workers, the Communist lead-
ers will probably attempt increasingly to cloak their objectives
with "legitimate" grievances and will resort to forms of indirect
sabotage equally effective but less offensive to Western European
peoples than strikes against the national defense.
New a proach in Jordan-Israel talks. At the most recent
Jordan-Israel meeting, King Abdullah suggested a pact between the
two states which while falling short of a peace treaty would
nevertheless go beyond the present armistice. The King's proposals
are reported to include inter ajia: (1) a five-year non-aggression
pact based on existing armistice lines; (2) free commercial
intercourse with a free port zone for Jordan in Haifa; (3) a
reservation of Jordan's claim to a Mediterranean corridor; (4)
access by Israel to Mt. Scopus and the Wailing Tall without sover-
eignty; (5) restoration of certain Arab quarters in Jerusalem by
Israel to Jordan; (6) some Israeli concessions to Arab property
owners; (7) mutual guarantees to the UN relating to access and.
protection of the Holy Places. It is reported that the Israeli
negotiators were distinctly pleased and encouraged by this new
development which they promise to submit to their government.
However, the suggestion is a personal one of the King and far from
certain of proving acceptable to his own Cabinet.
