Chinese Continue Attacks on Khrushchev's Foreign Policy
Liu Chang-sheng, member of the central committee of
the Chinese Communist party and a vice president of the
World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU), told the WFTU
general council on 8 June that it is "inconceivable" that
there could be general disarmament until "the socialist
revolution is victorious throughout the world." The day be-
fore, Liu Ning-i, president of the Ali-China Federation of
Trade Unions, had stated, "No talks can take the place of
struggle." These statements and a recent People's Daily edi-
torial are the most outspoken public criticism yet made by
the Chinese of policies with which Khrushchev personally is
associated,
Liu Chang-sheng ;gave cursory support to the Soviet dis-
armament proposal of 2 June and then described it merely
as a means '.:'to arouse the people... to unmask the aggres-
sive nature of imperialism." He denied that the Soviet pro-
posal could be realized. Paraphrasing earlier comments
by Khrushchev that disarmament : wo ild.:meai dri: nth:a t:iahd.
West could give more financial aid to underdeveloped coun-
tries, Liu said that to attribute any'such intention to the
West was a "downright whitewash of imperialism." Liu
Ning-i, who spoke in a similar vein on 7 June, said any
implication that "peaceful coexistence" could be stretched
to include "genuine cooperation".is a "lie to deceive the
people."
Such statements as these before an international gather-
ing of Communists make it clear that Peiping intends to en-
courage bloc dissent from Moscow's views on East-West re-
lations and solicit support openly for Communist China's own
hard line toward the United States. The Chinese leaders
probably believe that Soviet diplomatic maneuvering may,,
again require a "thaw" in Soviet-American relations. They
also may feel that undisguised polemics now are justified
in a situation where, since the U-2 incident'and collapse of
the summit meeting,. Khrushchev possibly finds it more dif-
ficult to ignore those elements in the bloc which o e any
return to detente tactics.

Congo Situation Worsening
Widespread but disorganized opposition to Patrice Lu-
mumba among Congolese political groups may bring a wor-
sening of the Congot&_prre -independence political crisis. Lu-
mumba--whose party gained a plurality of seats in the Congo
legislature in the elections held in late May--is opposed by
many of the colony's minor and splinter parties, particularly
since his post-election demands for the withdrawal of Belgian
troops and for his owrL investiture as premier.
In addition to stimulating fears of dictatorship among his
rivals, Lumumba's actions have revived separatist sentiment
in at least three of the Congo's six provinces. In Leopoldville
Province, a spokesman for the Abako party announced on 8
June that the party plans to form a provincial government
within the framework of a "federal" Congo of autonomous prow-
ifiaes, In Kasai Province, Lumumba's bitter rival Albert
Kalonji reportedly has called for the establishment of a sep-
arate Kasai state. In mineral-rich Katanga Province, the
separatist Conakat party, which holds a majority of seats in
the provincial assembly, may revive its threats of secession
if its demands for provincial autonomy are not met.
In the absence of an attractive alternative, Belgian au-
thorities may invite Lumumba to form a government, al-
though they will probably refuse his demand that the premier-
designate also be made chief of state. Congo Resident Min-
ister Vandermeersch reportedly indicated, prior to flying
to Brussels on 8 June, that it might be safer to bestow the
premiership on Lumumba than to turn to a weakly joined co-
alition of moderates which would be open to the charge of
being Belgian puppets..
