Pakistan: The Pakistani military regime, in its most
authoritarian measure to date, on 7 August promulgated an
order barring from public office for the next seven years per-
sons found guilty of any act "which contributes to political
instability:' The regime apparently intends to ban from pol-
itics anyone considered capable of developing opposition to
the regime in advance of the local-level elections planned for
October. This step illustrates the Ayub government's intent
to retain firm control while establishing a facade of constitu-
tional democracy.
African conference: The nine independent African states
meeting at Monrovia from 4 to 8 August adopted comparatively
moderate resolutions on Algeria and other issues of common
concern, but the anticipated. increase in their involvement with
Algeria may strain relations with France. Guinea announced
its readiness to consider an exchange of diplomatic represent-
atives with the Algerian provisional government. This put
heavy pressure on Liberia, which has reportedly agreed to
recognize the rebel government in the near future despite
earlier warnings that Paris might break off diplomatic rela-

[Turkish premiers, for solution. Failure to resolve this issue
to the satisfaction of both Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot
leaders, however, could endanger the entire Cyprus settlement

Argentina: The Peronista call for a 24-hour general strike
on 11 Ast is ostensibly in support of the striking Tucuman
sugar workers. The Peronista labor leaders may, however,
wish to test the discipline of their own unions and, probably with
the aid of the Communist-led unions, the vulnerability of the
government to wage demands. If this strike is effective, it may
hasten threatened. strike calls against the railroads, power plants,
and metallurgical industries. It could also provide cover for ter_
rorist tactics. such as the frequent bombings of recent weeks.

Pakistani Military Regime Moves Against Politicians
The Pakistani military regime on 7 August promulgated
an "Elective Bodies Disqualification Order" under which any
persons not acceptable to the regime can be barred from
public office for the next seven years. This step was taken
apparently in anticipation of local elections scheduled for
October. Although President Ayub's regime plans to estab-
lish a facade of constitutional democracy, it intends to re-
tain firm control of the government for the indefinite future.
The order is the most authoritarian measure taken by
the regime to date. Special tribunals can bar from office
any person found guilty of such broadly defined offenses as
"contributing to political instability" and "any other abuse
of whatever kind of power or position." Accused persons
may not have legal counsel when appearing before the tri-
bunals, and no appeal is to be permitted. The order is to
apply to religious and business figures as well as to pol-
iticians.
Ayub's action is almost
certain to arouse strong resentment among the politically
conscious segments of the population. The general public
would probably welcome action against the more notorious
politicians ousted by the order. However, if the regime
applies the order to popular figures and to broad sections
of local leaderS,hip, the public would be likely to resent
such measures as obvious dictatorial moves by the regime
to perpetuate itself in power,

African Conference at Monrovia Takes Moderate Position
The conference of nine independent African states and the
Algerian provisional government, held at Monrovia from 4 to
8 August, adopted comparatively moderate resolutions. The
principal subject of discussion was the Algerian situation. The
conference also listened to appeals for a review of the racial
and. political problems, in the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasa-
land, to'-.a nationalist attack .on British policies in Uganda,
to a plea for support of Cameroun nationalist extremists, and
to a demand for international discussion of the UN trust terri-
tory of Ruanda Urundi, which is administered by Belgium.
In a unanimous resolution, the representatives asked France
to recognize the right of the Algerian people to self-determination
leading to independence, to end hostilities and withdraw its troops
from Algeria, and to enter into negotiations with the provisional
government of Algeria. The conference recommended that each
government prepare for the forthcoming debate in the UN, con-
tinue diplomatic action in favor of the Algerian nationalists, and
give material aid to the rebels.
Any strengthening of ties between African states and the
Algerian rebels will adversely affect relations between France
and those governments. Nevertheless., the Guinea delegation
announced that Conakry would consider an exchange of diplo-
matic representatives with the Algerian provisional government,
and Monrovia, ignoring a French threat to break diplomatic rela-
tions with nations recognizing the Algerian rebel government,
reportedly will make a public announcement of recognition in several
weeks.
Thus Ethiopia appears to be the only African state at the con-
ference not intending to recognize the Algerian rebels, although it
will probably support the Asian-African bloc in the UN debate this
autumn.

Dispute Over Constitution Threatens Cyprus Settlement
L&_ serious dispute, which could threaten the Cyprus s,eet
ment of last February, has arisen among the negotiators pre-
paring the constitution for the new Republic of Cyprus, The
Constitutional Commission- -composed of representatives of
Greece, Turkey, and the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot
communities and, aided by a Swiss legal adviser--has been
working for several weeks on a constitution in line with the
basic structure of government agreed to by the Greek and Turk-
ish premiers last winter]
(Article Five of the Greek-Turkish agreement is subject to
differing interpretations on the extent of executive power--par-
ticularly the right of veto--granted to the Turkish Cypriot vice
president. The Turks are claiming that Article Five implies
"joint" or equal authority between the Greek Cypriot president
and the vice president. Greek Cypriot representatives on the
commission, backed by Makarios, reject the contention that.
the two men have equal powers and state that the vice-pres-
idential powers are strictly limited by succeeding articles Hof
the original agreemenj
(The issue, described by the American consul general as
"grave," will apparently be referred back to Athens and. Ankara--
possibly to the premiers themselves. Resolution of this issue
will be difficult, however, in light of the adamant demand of
the Greek Cypriots that the primacy of the president be recog-
nized. Greek Cypriot leaders have indicated. that their firmness
on the question stems in part from fear that EOKA leader Grivas
may otherwise use any retreat by them on the question as evi-
dence of a "sellout" to the Turks By this admission, they give
support to expressed Turkish Cypriot fears that Grivas' recent
criticism of Makarios, will tend to make the moderate Greek
Cypriots more intransigent and. a final settlement more diffi-
cult) F_ I
