1. PAKISTAN REACTING FAVORABLY TO SOVIET
TRADE OVERTURE
Pakistan is responding favorably to
Soviet premier Bulganin's suggestion
of a trade pact to improve Pakistani-
Soviet relations.
Following a statement by the Pakistani
foreign minister on 7 February that
Pakistan's policy aimed at friendship
and co-operation with as many nations as possible, press
reports from Karachi said on 9 February that a cabinet
decision had been reached to open trade negotiations with
the USSR.
Although Bulganin also indicated that
technical assistance could be made available, Karachi will
probably confine its initial relationship with the USSR to ex-
changing agricultural exports such as jute and cotton for
machinery and manufactured goods. (Concurred in by ;ORR)

2.. MOVE TO EXPEL POUJADIST DEPUTIES MAY
CAUSE VIOLENCE
The move to invalidate credentials
of 12 of the 52 Poujadist deputies by.
the French National Assembly may
lead to violent demonstrations in the 25X1 X
districts w ere they were elected.
25X1X
Comment The invalidation move is probably a
political effort by the Republican Front,
since the credentials of the Poujadist candidates were ac-
cepted by the Ministry of Interior before the election.. The
Republican Front stands to gain some seats if the action is
carried out.
The. Communists, who support the repub-
lican Front in this effort, have considerable veteran support
of their own. The government can be expected to make a
strong effort to block any mass Poujadist demonstration or
counter-action by the Communists.
