Algeria: The compromise under which Ben Bella's
political bureau was re-established in Algiers prob-
ably resulted from the realization of all leaders that
public opinion would not support civil war.
Although the mood of the populace appears to be
more one of relief than of active support for Ben Bella,
most of the population will almost certainly rally to
him if he demonstrates his ability to restore order
quickly.
The basic question of the political role of the army
remains unresolved. Chief of Staff Boumedienne may
now demand greater political influence as the price of
his support of Ben Bella.

*Laos: The coalition government at a 4 Septem-
ber cabinet meeting in Luang Prabang formally ap-
proved the establishment of diplomatic relations
with a number of Communist countries including
China, North Vietnam, and East Germany. No ac-
tion was taken with regard to North Korea, however.
The recognition of the Peiping and Hanoi regimes
may lead Taipei and Saigon to withdraw their ambas-
sadors from Laos, although the Chinese Nationalists
have indicated they will remain until a Chinese Com-
munist ambassador is actually accredited, and the
South Vietnamese apparently hold parallel views.
Peiping will attempt to pressure the Laotian gov-
ernment into withdrawing recognition of Taipei; in
the past Peiping has refused to send an ambassador
to a government while Chinese Nationalist represen-
tatives are accredited.
The full diplomatic recognition planned for East
Germany would make Laos the first non-Communist
country to so honor the Ulbricht regime, and it comes
at a most propitious time for both East Berlin andMos-
cow who are heavily engaged in an effort to gain some
degree of formal recognition of East German sover-
eignty in the non-Communist world. To date only bloc
countries and Yugoslavia have given full diplomatic rec-
ognition to the Ulbricht regime although the UAR,
Burma, Indonesia, and Cambodia have been persuaded
to establish consular ties.
Bonn will undoubtedly make every effort to dis-
suade the Laotian government from recognizing East
