Cand received a Czech offer to provide a $10,000,000 loan. Al-
though the repoening of the Czech mission in Quito may be a nor-
mal outgrowth of these recent economic and diplomatic moves,
it appears timed to reinforce the threats of President Velasco,
Chiriboga, and other top officials to turn to the bloc and Cuba to
win support for Ecuador's concerted campaign to nullify the Rio
Protocol. The protocol provides for the definitive settlement of 25X1
the long-standing boundary dispute with Peru and grants a favor-
able award to the latter.

The Algerian Situation
Moslem demonstrations in Algiers entered their third day
on 12 December as French troops fired on a mob attempting to
leave the Moslem quarter, killing; at least six. Moslem civil-
ians in the city are becoming more open in their support of the
rebel National Revolutionary Front (FLN). The vehemence of
the Moslem demonstrations undercuts the settler claim that the
Moslems want to remain French, and the efforts of the colons
to retain a privileged position are likely to become more des-
perate.
De Gaulle's decision to return to Paris on 13 December--a
day early- -may have been based on a view that his continued
presence in Algeria would only encourage further clashes be-
tween Moslems and Europeans and lead. to further setbacks to
his program for an amicable settlement on the basis of an "Al-
gerian Algeria" Reports of an emergency cabinet meeting on
his return suggest possible new moves from Paris. The Moslem-
European clashes, absent in both the 1958 and. January 1960 Alge-
rian upheavals, will sharply increase left and center pressure in
France for an accommodation with Moslem Algerians. However,
the clashes may already have rendered a solution based on co-
operative communities of Europeans and Moslems almost impos-
sible.
(The disturbances in Algeria are taking place at a moment when
leaders of the FLN's military forces reportedly are planning a
period of reduced activity in Algeria in order to familiarize their
troops in Tunisia and Morocco with arms received from the Sino-
Soviet bloc. In an effort to acquire greater respectability on the
"day of victory," the rebels reportedly are also planning the cre-
ation of a tightly disciplined 2,000-man contingent which would be
withheld from the present loosely organized. guerrilla bands and
would serve as a nucleus for an army of an independent Al eria~

Nehru Resists Pressure for Indian Withdrawal
from Congo
Prime Minister Nehru is being subjected to growing
pressure from most of his cabinet colleagues to withdraw
Indian officials and military units from the UN Congo opera-
tion. He remains convinced, however, that the UN offers
the only hope for preventing "another Korea" and that India
must continue its supporting role in the Congo.
reportedly have argued that e
dian military and medical missions, as well as UN Repre-
sentative Dayal, should be withdrawn because their pre-
ence implies support for Lumumba's authority and conse-
quently may antagonize the incoming US administration.
reason that Lumumba is on the way out and
continued and Indian presence in the Congo can only per-
petuate a regime identified strongly with the Western powers)
[Nehru reportedly has refused to change his stand, per-
haps in part as a result of UN delegation leader Krishna
Me non's urgent recommendation against withdrawal. Referring
to the decisions of other nations to withdraw their forces--now
including Yugoslavia, Indonesia, Morocco, Guinea, and the UAR--
the prime minister stated on 12 December that a UN withdrawal
from the Congo would lead to "complete chaos and perhaps a
major war in Africa, and accordingly India will not pull out."
Nehru warned Ambassador Bunker on 8 December, however,
that the UN would have to get out of the Congo if its present weak
position were not strengthened immediately. Further incidents
involving Indian nationals would make it far more difficult for
Nehru to resist pressure for withdrawal .-f
LiNew Delhi recently instructed its embassy in Cairo to
protest against UAR press criticism of the allegedly partisan
attitude of Indian representatives in the Congo. The Ceylonese
Government has announced that it will reconsider its decision
to withdraw the small Ceylonese administrative contingent so
long as the UN continues to uphold the legal authority of the

CThe long-awaited visit of the UN's Conciliation Commis-
sion to the Congo is about to occur, although present plans
call for an advance party of only three officers, led by Ni-
geria's representative Wachuku, ? to depart for Leopoldville
on 13 December. The remaining, .members of the commission
are to proceed only when so advised by Wachuku,1
In Leopoldville Colonel Mobutu reportedly was criticized
at a recent meeting of the commissioners, who are con-
cerned over the low morale and generally bad situation of
the Congolese National Army. The commissioners are wor-
ried over the condition of the troops in Luluabourg and Stan-
leyville, where there reportedly is not enough ammunition,
food, or transport. Morale in the regular army is bad be.-
cause of Mobutu's special attention to organizing a paratroop
force. The Leopoldville commissioners are also dissatisfied
with the delay in military operations against Stanleyville. An
uneasy peace prevails in Stanleyville, but at any time the pro-
Lumumba leaders and troops may engage in further harass-
ment of Europeans. Within the past few days Ethiopian troops
of the UN command have helped evacuate some 35 Europeans
from the hinterland
