the champion of peace and disarmament inflicted by his per

Khrushchev s press conference remarks on 3 June did not
modify his earlier position that the status quo in West Berlin
would be maintained until another summit meeting takes place
in "six to eight months."'

c*USSR: A protracted meeting of the Soviet party presidium
on 2 June made Khrushchev and a contingent of presidium mem-
bers an hour and a hall: late for a scheduled appearance at a
British exhibit in Moscow. Heated discussion broke out among
them as they departed, according to a British diplomat who was
near the group. Khrushchev was overheard to remark, "All right,
we will-,continue the discussion tomorrow morning:' The pres-
ence in Moscow of three presidium members who live in provin-
cial centers may be an additional sign of important deliberations,
There are as yet, however, no indications to support reports
that the party central committee may be convened earlier than
its meeting scheduled for 13 July.

leftist excesses in recent demonstrations, have warned that vio-
lence during the strikes set for 4 June would lessen public sym-
pathy for protests against Kishi's "dictatorial" tactics and
against the US=Japanese security treaty. Factions of the rul-

Belgian Congo: Patrice Lumumba's demand that he be ap-
pointe premier of the Congo on the basis of his plurality in
the recent legislative elections appears designed to confront
Belgium with the choice of bowing to his demand or facing the
threat of an.attempt by him to seize power. In a press confer-
ence on 2 June, Lumumba also called for the immediate with=
drawal of Belgian troops from the Congo and for the election
of the chief of state by popular vote rather than by the legisla-
ture. Lumumba's war:rtings may have been prompted by con-
cern over the possible formation of an anti=Lumumba coalition
led by Jose h Kasavubuui who departed for Brussels suddenly. on..

New Soviet Disarmament Proposals
Khxushchev has again put forward new disarmament
proposals as a means of refurbishing the image of the USSR
as the champion of peaceful coexistence. In his letter to
President Eisenhower on 2 June, the Soviet premier stated
that "recent events have not only not lessened but, on the
contrary, have strengthened the SovietGovernment's deter-
mination to achieve a radical solution of. the disarmament
problem." He reaffirmed his intention.to work, as before,
to "normalize the international situation. and improve rela-
tions between states."
Khrushchev's new proposals which, he said, had been
prepared for presentation to the summit meeting, are de-
signed to appear responsive to Western views on a number
of important issues. However, in an. effort to exploit West-
ern differences resulting from France's insistence on giving
top priority to measures. for controlling nuclear weapons
delivery systems, the new Soviet plan provides for the pro-
hibition and destruction of all means for the delivery of
nuclear weapons in the first stage of Moscow's revised pro-
gram for complete disarmament. The, USSR insists, how-
ever, that these measures must be accompanied by the liqui-
dation of foreign military bases and the withdrawal of all
foreign troops from the territory of other states.
The new proposals include detailed provisions on the
nature and functions of a. control system which are designed
to give the impression. that Moscow is seeking to meet West-
ern criticisms of the vague and ambiguous control provisions
Khrushchev placed before the United Nations last September.
The new proposals spell out control measures for each of
the three stages in the Soviet program and outline the composi-
tion and voting procedures of the proposed International
Control Organization. _ Moscow now provides for on-site in-
spection of successive disarmament steps, missile-launch-
ing sites, and. plants and installations engaged in military pro-
duction.
In a move aimed at meeting the United States' emphasis on
banning the use of outer space. for.military .purposes. Moscow's

new first stage would prohibit the launching. of "special de-
vices" and confine all missile launchings to peaceful purposes.
Moscow has also adopted another feature of the Western
plan by agreeing to "joint studies" in the first and second
stages of measures to be undertaken in subsequent. stages.
Khrushchev"s pres;: conference remarks did not. modify his
earlier position that the status quo in West Berlin would be
maintained until another summit meeting takes place in
"six to eight months." However, he warned the West against
believing that the conclusion of a. separate treaty with East
Germany could be delayed by postponing a summit conference
beyond the time period he has suggested. He indicated that
Moscow would go through the normal steps of calling a peace
conference of wartime allies before taking any. unilateral ac-
tion. As to the timing, Khrushchev stated only that the USSR
would initiate this process "when we see that enough time
has passed."

Congo Leader Hints at Move to Seize Power
The demand by extremist Congolese leader Patrice Lu-
mumba that he be appointed premier of the Congo on the
basis of his plurality in. the recent legislative elections ap-
pears to be a threat to seize power if his various demands
are not met by the Belgians. Lumumba's National Congo
Movement won about one third of the 137 seats in the lower
house of the new Congo parliament. In a press conference
on 2 June, Lumumba also called for the immediate with-
drawal of Belgian troops from the Congo and for the elec-
tion of a chief of state by popular vote rather than by the
legislature. He hinted that there would. be "trouble" if
his various demands were not met.
Lumumba's warnings may have been prompted by con-
cern over the possible formation of an anti-Lumumba coali-
tion by Joseph 1 savuuLbu, who departed for Brussels sudden-
ly on 1 June. Lumumlta might proclaim himself head of gov-
ernment, but his ability to seize power is doubtful in view
of the hostility toward him among many African groups and
Belgium's control of the Congo's security forces.
Meanwhile, Europeans continue to leave the Congo at
an accelerating rate in the face of antiwhite threats. News-
papers in Stanleyville and Katanga Province have reportedly
published lists of Europeans who should leave the Congo
"at once."

Nicaragua Suspends Relations With Cuba
The Nicaraguan Government cabled the Cuban Foreign Min-
istry on 1 June demanding the. recall of the Cuban ambassador
and his entire staff for having repeatedly engaged in subversive
activities. The Nicaraguans regard this move as equivalent to
"suspension" of diplomatic relations, an action taken. by the
Guatemalan Government, for similar reasons on 29 April. Nic-
aragua's action again calls public attention to Cuban subversive
activities in other Latin American countries.
Nicaragua and Guatemala are exerting pressure to have the
governments of Costa `Rica, Honduras, and El Salvador take sim-
ilar action, since they regard Cuban subversion as directed
against all five Central. American governments. Honduras may
do so, because the Cuban ambassador there has been particularly
provocative in his support of radical, Communist-inspired oppo-
sition groups. However, Costa Rica and El Salvador appear un-
likely to break with Cuba in the near future.
The Castro regime is repeating its charges that the. actions
of "dictatorial, pro-imperialist" regimes are the initial moves
in a US plot to cause its overthrow. Some circles in Latin Amer-
ica were receptive to. this propaganda line after the Guatemalan
break.

tina, he flouted protocol:, viciously attacked the United States be-
fore a pro- Communist university group, and went out of his way
to meet with leaders of an actively antigovernment, Peronista la-
bor group. In Uruguay, the Cuban Embassy was admonishedprior
to Dorticos' arrival that the Uruguayan Government wanted no
public statement adversely reflecting on any foreign government.
The Cubans reportedly agreed, but Dorticos nevertheless made
his usual anti-US attacks.
