USSR-India: The Soviet Communist party has advised
the Indian art
no to scrap its po icy o see -
ing power by -parilamencury means" in favor of violent tac-
tics. Moscow's response to the developments in Kerala
reflects the desire of Soviet leaders to avoid strains in their
relations with New Delhi. Unlike Peiping, whose radio has
the past few months.
Communist China: In an editorial which may reflect a
recent reassessment of China's economic outlook by the party
leadership, the official People's Daily points to the tremendous
strides made in the first half o the year and asserts that the
situation is "extremely favorable" to the fulfillment of this year's
plan to press on with the leap forward. All that is required, the
daily says, is to overcome the budding conservative tendency of
exaggerating difficulties, and "activate" the masses to a new up-
surge of effort. The editorial may be the opening gun of an ef -
fort to regain some of the momentum which has been lost over

Argentina: President Frondizi believes Peronista and
Communist collaboration in strikes and electoral activity is
due in part to continuing instructions from Peron in the
:Dominican Republic. Argentina is making further representa-
tions to Trujillo to cut off Peron's communications, and, if
these fail, Frondizi is prepared to break diplomatic relations.
Meanwhile, Frondizi is seekinLy legal means of further curtail-

Calcutta area Communist leaders canceled preparations for
a general strike, and demonstrations in other major centers
have been carefully controlled. Former Kerala Chief Minis-
ter Namboodiripad, in New Delhi for the 6-7 August meeting
of the Communist central executive, told the press his party
would :continue to seek power only through constitutional means,
despite its experience in Kerala
tn_ formulating their 'Oqdvice,"' Soviet leaders probably took
into account the traditional Indian antipathy toward violence,
but Moscow's desire--which has been especially noticeable over
the past six months--to avoid frictions in dealings with New
Delhi seems to have been an even greater consideration. So-
viet propaganda organs, with the exception of a brief reference
in a 31 July news program to the dismissal of the Kerala govern-
ment, has avoided any mention of the crisis. This is in con-
trast with Peiping whose radio has broadcast detailed, slanted
reports on Kerala

Peiping Calls for Greater Economic Efforts.
Two recent editorials in the official Peoples Daily may
reflect a reassessment of Communist Chin's economic outlook
by the party leadership. The editorials appear to be a strong
reaffirmation of the correctness of the general approach to eco-
nomic development taken byMao Tse-tung and the most influen-
tial group of his lieutenants led by Liu Shao-chi.
The paper asserts that "tremendous strides" were made
in the first half of the year and that the present situation is "ex-
tremely favorable" to the fulfillment of this year's plan for press-
ing ahead with the regime's "leap forward" economic policies.
All that is needed, the daily says, is to eliminate the "rightist
conservative tendency" of exaggerating difficulties and "activate"
all manpower to a new upsurge of hard work.
Both editorials are directed to local party officials, who
are enjoined. once again to "let politics take command."--a key
slogan in the leap last year but which had been soft-pedaled over
the past few months. The cadres are told to use methods. of mass
exhortation which were claimed to be successful last year and.
thus spur the Chinese workers to new efforts, especially over
the next two months. The regime clearly attaches great impor-
tance to being in a position to greet its tenth anniversary on 1 Oc-
tober with appropriate "spectacular achievement."
The leadership apparently believes that a renewed reliance
on exhortation--plug the harvest already in hand, which could be
used to provide more in the way of direct incentives to the work-
ers--will enable the 1959 "leap" to regain some of the momentum
lost in recent months. The party leaders, may have redefined
this year's, goals in terms less extravagant than the ones, formu-
lated last December, but there is, no hint of such a shift in the
editorials.

Argentina Asking Trujillo to Curtail Peron's Subversive
Instructions
Argentine President Frondizi believes Peronista and
Communist collaboration in strikes and electoral activity is
due in part to continuing instructions from Peron in the
Dominican Republic, and that such strikes will create seri-
ous political and social problems during the coming months.
In Frondizi's view, Trujillo is convinced Peron will return
to Argentina and for that reason is permitting him to con-
tinue sending subversive recordings and other messages.
Argentina does not intend to introduce this matter at the
OAS meeting in Santiago,but will discuss it privately with the
Dominican foreign minister at that time. If these representa-
tions fail, Frondizi is prepared to break diplomatic relations.
Relations were resumed in October 1958, having been broken
in April 1957 by the provisional Aramburu government over
Peron's asylum in the Dominican Republic.
Meanwhile, the government- -disturbed by Peronista sup-
port of Communist candidates in the recent municipal elec-
tions in Santa Fe Province--is considering means of barring
the Communist party from participating in future elections.
Frondizi does not believe the executive could order this and
thinks the congress would balk at it, but he hopes for success-
ful judiciary action on such a ban before the February 1960
congressional elections.
Although Frondizi issued a decree on 27 April banning all
Communist party political activity, there is no federal law at
present superseding the provinces' control over their electoral
processes and recognition of political parties. The federal
government is apparently trying to persuade the provinces to
cooperate in anti-Communist action. On 5 August it issued
another communique explaining reasons behind the 27 April
decree and pointing out the involvement of foreiLyn Comm 'Q
agents in terrorist activities.
