The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has
informed US Ambassador Henderson of the
opinions of Indian Ambassador Panikkar in
Peiping regarding a possible "new peace
offer" to Communist China. Panikkar reportedly takes the view that
a peace move at this time would not be opportune, as the Chinese "insist
that the military situation in Korea is satisfactory and is developing
steadily in their favor. " Panikkar is also said to believe that Peiping,
viewing US proposals for a Japanese peace treaty as "in fact a. US-
Japanese military alliance against China, " would insist that a Korean
settlement include "agreeable" arrangements regarding Japan.

Comment: Panikkar, who is generally sympa-
thetic to Peiping, has often appeared to present his personal views under
the guise of Chinese Communist official opinion. The basis of his present
views is not known. Peiping has not altered its stated demands for a Korean
settlement -- withdrawal of UN forces from Korea, US abandonment of
the policy of "neutralizing" Taiwan, and admission of Communist China to
the UN --? and the regime is currently intensifying its program for support
of Chinese forces in Korea. However, Peiping has not yet indicated pub-
licly that settlement of the Japanese question will.. be added to its stated
demands.

Yugoslav Communist Party resolutions indicate liberalization of regime-
ment of the judicial system may result in humanizing the regime suffici-
ently to increase its popular support. The Embassy notes that the resolu-
tions will result'in a relaxation of police methods. The Embassy does
not believe, however, that they foreshadow any cooperation with opposi-
tion groups outside the Communist Party. The consensus of opinion among
foreign observers in Belgrade is that the resolutions and speeches were
partly inspired by the unpopularity of the regime because of its internal
policies and its failure to alleviate the conditions of the people.
Comment- There are various indications that
Yugoslav morale has been seriously impaired as a result of the economic
crisis, the failure of the regime to improve living standards, and a
widespread fear of war. The resolutions indicate that the Communist
Party is seriously concerned with lagging Yugoslav morale and that fur-
ther efforts will be made to make the regime less distasteful to the popu-
lace and to Western public opinion. Other measures which the Tito regime
has instituted to increase local initiative and widen the base of its popular
support have been (1) the decentralization of the government by the aboli-
tion of many federal ministries, whose operative functions have been

Commission, whose enforcement functions have been delegated to workers'
councils within individual industrial plants; and (3) liberalization of govern-
ment agricultural policies by abolishing compulsory deliveries of certain
farm products.
