I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
Khrushchev Reviews Soviet Position on Summit Topics
In his 25 April speech in Baku, Premier Khrushchev outlined
in standard terms the Soviet position on the major East-West is-
sues which he intends to take up at the summit. Prefacing his
statements with a prediction that the present "favorable" trend in
.international affairs will continue after the meeting in Paris, Khru-
shchev singled out disarmament as the first item for discussion,
to be followed by, the German and Berlin questions.
The Soviet leader sought to buildup pressure for Western con-
cessions on Berlin by repeating his threat to sign a separate peace
treaty with East Germany. Although he did not spell out the timing,
by discussing. the problem in the general context of the May meet-
ing he again gave the impression that lack of progress at the sum-
mit could be followed by such a treaty, In a further effort. to urge
the West to seek an interim solution on Berlin, he repeated, as he
recently did in Paris, his claim that a separate treaty would end
all Western occupation rights, including access to Berlin. an a
private conversation with Ambassadors Thompson and Bohlen,
Foreign Minister Gromyko also restated the standard Soviet posi
tion on a peace treaty and a free city, while hinting that an interim
agreement could be negotiate
Khrushchev adhered closely to the Soviet position taken at the
disarmament talks in char zng. that the West continues to substitute
control for disarmament, Gromyko stated.that. at the summit Khru-
shchev would be seeking a "concrete" decision on. disarmament,
which could be translated into future action. This approach provides
further evidence that Moscow will press for a joint statement en-
dorsing the main principles of a treaty for "complete and general
disarmament" which the Soviet delegation at Geneva could represent
as a directive to proceed with the Soviet plan.
On the question of nuclear tests, Khrushchev said he intended to
conduct serious negotiations at the summit, adding an optimistic

The Soviet Union has used.the major speech given in.Mos-
cow in commemoration of Lenin's 90th birthday to refute the
views recently expressed by the Chinese Communists in. their
two Red Flag editorials on the same occasion. Attributing the
Chinese views to "bold publicists in the West," presidium mem-
ber Otto Kuusinen, without mentioning Communist China, con-
demned those who assert that Lenin was an opponent of peace-
ful coexistence.
Claiming that "these falsifiers" take from Lenin's works
only those passages which support their own thesis, Kuusinen
maintained that Lenin developed the idea of peaceful economic
competition in. the world. Contradicting the Chinese, who in-
sist that wars are inevitable so long as imperialism exists,
Kuusinen stated that the conclusions reached at the 20th and
21st party congresses about '-.'the absence of inevitability of
wars in our epoch" are "a new contribution. to Marxism."
Kuusinen noted that to be loyal to Marxism-Leninism to-
day it.is not enough to repeat the old truth that imperialism is
aggressive--as the Chinese do. To look on only this one side
of the question is "dogmatism," he said, and such dogmatism is
obsolete. Kuusinen alleged that Lenin foresaw long ago that
"the time will come when war will become so destructive as to
be impossible."
In developing the theme that the strength of the socialist
world will soon be such that it cannot fail to win out in peace-
ful competition, Kuusinen made the interesting observation that
the significance of violence.is soon exhausted, but that "influ-
ence and example will tell." He asserted, therefore, that the
Leninist policy of peaceful coexistence, now being followed by
the Soviet Union, is the only correct and vital policy.
Kuusinen's observation echoes Khrushchev's admonition in
Peiping last September that Communists should not "test the
stability of the capitalist system by force." The speech as a
whole is an expression of Khrushchev's view that bloc coun-
tries should do nothing to jeopardize forthcoming negotiations
in which the West will have no choice but to make accommoda-
tions to Communist demands because of the shift in the balance
of power.

Nehru-Chou Talks Fail to Produce Border Agreement
The inability of Prime Minister Nehru and Chinese Premier
Chou En-lai to make any real headway toward a border agree-
ment during their six days of. talks in New Delhi makes it almost
certain that Sino-Indian relations will continue strained for
some time. The two leaders admitted in a joint communique
on 25 April that while their "long, frank, and friendly talks"
had led to a better understanding of their opposing views, they
"did not resolve the differences that had arisen."
During his stay in India, Chou
in a roa y in public acceptance .of the Chinese posi-
tion could lead to an eventual exchange of disputed areas in
Assam for those in Ladakh. Attempting at the same time to
salvage some good will, Chou restated his old assurances
that Peiping would not send troops across.the McMahon line,
even though the line "is completely unacceptable to China,"
Nehru and Chou agreed to turn the border discussions
over to subordinate officials of both countries, who will meet

from June to September to "examine, check, and study" the
historical evidence each. side has advanced in support of its
territorial claims. These officials are not empowered to
recommend a solution but only to draft a report on points
of "agreement and disagreement." "Every effort" will be
made during this period to avoid further border clashes. These
meetings, to be held in Peiping and New Delhi, are likely to
accomplish little beyond keeping a channel open for eventual.
negotiations.

Tunisian. Press a warns France a Rebels
[President Bourguiba, striving to maintain Tunisia's offi-
cial noninvolvement in the conflict in Algeria, recently warned
both France and the Algerian rebels to refrain from actions
which would compromise his government's position. In a bel-
ligerent speech on 24 April he warned France: "Tunisia is
capable of successfully conducting a war if she is obliged to
do so by aggressions." He was referring to a series of recent
border incidents which have arisen from the stepped-up activi-
ties of both French and Algerian rebel troops in the Algerian-
Tunisian frontier area_J

& he Tunisian foreign minister has indicated that the efforts
of the Algerians to "internationalize" the conflict, particularly
the acceptance of "volunteers" from other states, would pose a
problem for his country. He said that any Tunisians volunteer-
ing would lose their citizenship. In the case of foreigners, Tunis
would hold their own governments responsible for their actions
in Tunisia.-7

tory of Somalia and of the British Somaliland Protectorate an-
nounced on 22 April,. at the conclusion of a week-long conference,
their intention to unite the two territories under a "Somaliland
Republic" on 1 Jul
[Britain has invited protectorate leaders to London in May
and apparently hopes to dampen enthusiasm for early independ-
ence and union. Various British officials have expressed doubts,
however, about their ability to influence developments, and Lon-
don might considerably shorten.the present tentative schedule
calling for independence in two or three year.
The conferees-.who met in Mogadiscio, capital of Somalia. and
the designated capital of the new state--released a joint communi-
que at the end of the conference outlining their plans for the .union.
The. legislative bodies of the two territories are to merge to form
the new national assembly which will elect a president to head a
coalition government formed by the political parties now in power
in the respective countriesa
e agreement appears to be a major victory for Somalia's
Prime Minister Issas He was believed to favor a loose associa-
tion with the protectorate in order to prevent upsetting the deli-.
cate tribal balance which would permit him to remain in power,
but he now appears to have executed a clever. political maneuver
which probably will. strengthen the position of his party and greatly
enhance his own popularity.
Addis Ababa. is apprehensive over.the attraction such a union
would present to the nomadic Somalis who inhabit Ethiopia's Ogaden
region, and has substantially increased its security forces in the
Somali border areas during the Past year.
