DAILY BRIEF
I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
*Soviet offer to Jordan: The USSR may be attempting
a significant expansion of its peaceful coexistence cam-
paign among pro-Western Arabs. According to King
Hussayn, Moscow proposed to Jordan on 30 January
that diplomatic relations be established as soon as pos-
sible. In any case, the USSR is ready to furnish Jordan
with unconditional technical and economic aid in what-
ever amount it requires. Hussayn indicated he will block
any further discussion with the USSR and will warn King
Saud that he may be subject to a similar approach in a
forthcoming visit of the Soviet ambassador in Syria.
Rapacki plan: Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Winiewicz
has indicated that Poland will soon act with "serious intent
and a minimum propaganda display" to elaborate control
procedures.for the Rapacki plan. He claimed that the
Soviet Union has agreed to confine the plan to the four
Central European countries originally named. These
decisions were reached during the recent Moscow talks
between the Soviet and Polish foreign ministers, which
Winiewicz said were called on Polish initiative.

sente to the National People's Congress on 3 February,
the nation's industrial production is to increase 14. 6 per-
cent and investment is to jump to record levels. The
plan is heavily oriented toward industry. Budgetary allot-
ments for agriculture are increased 40 percent, and agri-
cultural output is to increase 6 percent, double the annual
.rate achieved during the last five years.

I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
Soviet Offer to Jordan
The USSR may be attempting a significant expansion
of its peaceful coexistence campaign among pro-Western
Arabs. According to Jordan's King Hussayn, Moscow pro-
posed that diplomatic relations be established as soon as
possible, and that in any case, the USSR is ready to fur-
nish unconditional economic and technical assistance in
whatever amount Jordan may require. Hussayn indicated
he will block further discussion on the initiative, which is
contained in an undelivered note from Premier Bulganin.
The Soviet ambassador in Lebanon was refused a visa on
30 January when he asked to deliver the note personally,
but he outlined the contents.
The Soviet ambassador in Syria had requested an
audience with King Saud earlier in January. Hussayn
stated that Saud had granted the ambassador permission
to come to Saudi Arabia and that he would warn Saud about
the possible nature of the approach. A Saudi Foreign Min-
istry official said on 28 January that "messages" from Bul-
ganin had been received, from Saudi Embassies in both Cairo
and Beirut.
Moscow may feel that the pro-Western Arab states
have been weakened by the announced Syrian-Egyptian unity
and that they can be won over to normalized relations by
the "showcase" aid agreements concluded with Egypt and
Syria. Pravda said on 22 December that the USSR is ready
to develop economic relations with Lebanon, Saudi Arabia,
Iraq, the Sudan, and other Arab states, declaring that the
Egyptian and Syrian aid agreements exemplify a "completely
new form of relations between a great power and countries
of the East."

Israeli Troop Movements Along Syrian Frontier
Israeli troop movements on the afternoon of 4 Feb-
ruary opposite the center of the Syrian front have been
reported
These move-
ments were preceaea earner in the day by occupation
of a portion of the northern demilitarized zone along the
border by Israeli combat engineers supported by four
armored cars and about sixty border police equipped
with automatic weapons. A large number of Israeli
officers were previously observed in the area, and wire
is being strung. Israel has refused an ISMAC order to
withdraw, and Syria has cabled a protest to the UN Se-
curity Council.
This latest Israeli effort to assert sovereignty over
the demilitarized zones, following a clash in the same
area on 28 January, may be intended to provoke Syrian
opposition and thus create a pretext for an attack on Syr-
ian military positions. The Israeli troop movements come
at a time when the Syrian Army is also confronted with
internal security problems resulting from union with
Egypt.

Shah of Iran's Personal Rule Increasing Internal
Dissatisfaction
For some time public opinion in Iran has been swinging
away from the Shah and the United States amid increased
internal dissatisfaction brought about by the Shah's deter-
mined personal rule,
Even patriotic elements in the country are
now unable to express moderate criticism of the Shah's
policy. The .Iranian National Information and Security
Agency has "terrorized" all elements with its authority
to make arrests without reason.
there is considerably less freedom in Iran
than under former Premier Mossadeq and that the present
cabinet is powerless. Businessmen feel the necessity of
coming to terms with the corrupt group surrounding the
Shah. he Shah's softening attitude to-
ward the USSR poses a danger of Iran's accepting large-
scale Soviet aid.

III. THE WEST
Unrest Increases in Peru
The Peruvian Government's suspension of constitu-
tional guarantees on 2 February, for the second time in
five months, was prompted by a police strike for higher
pay, a symptom of serious popular discontent over rising
living costs. The underlying economic deterioration has
been caused by falling prices for mineral exports and re-
duced agricultural production. Expectation that the re-
cent devaluation of the currency will drive prices still
higher has led to increased pressure for wage rises.
The President's move also reflects the increasing
political difficulties which beset Peru's 18-month-old
attempt at democratic government. A small-scale army
plot which was frustrated on 24 January, student rioting
during the same week, and threatened strikes of taxi
drivers and miners indicate increasing popular unrest.
The American army attachd in Lima comments that al-
though the previous suspension of guarantees restored
order, there is some doubt that the. present action will
settle the police difficulties.
