Bulgaria: As the 5 November party congress
nears, middle- evel party officials are concerned
with the regime's failure to provide strong leader-
ship and with the demoralization of the party rank and
file
(These officials suspect the top leadership can-
not agree on how to handle several pressing issues.
The most important is de-Stalinization, which the
USSR has insisted on. This is a problem for party
leader Zhivkov because a ma.ority of the party re-
tains its Stalinist orientation)
The party rank and file is reportedly showing
les enthusiasm for regime programs than before
the last congress. A major factor is the recent price
increases for consumer goods which,/ 25X1
have severely hurt two thirds of the Bul-
garian people, inc udin "the vast majority" of the
party membership

West Germany: A recent cabinet decision to put
a ceiling on 1963 def nse expenditures may slow
Bonn's planned arms build-up.
(The total defense budget of $4.25 billion, although
half a billion dollars above last year's, eliminates
$100 million from proposed expenditures. It will
force postponement or cancellation of some defense
programs, including some arms purchases already
on order from the US.
The US ambassador in Bonn fears this will not
only delay achievement of agreed NATO force goals
at a time of increasing tension, but will set a prece-
dent for future reductions. The ambassador feels
that despite Bonn's tight budgetary situation,defense
must be given first priority wit no financial con-
straints on the defense program.

Italy: The Italian Government has reacted neg-
atively to De Gaulle's moves for closer French-Ger-
man cooperation, and considers it essential that
Britain participate fully in a European political union.

A Foreign Ministry official told the US Embassy
in ome that Premier Fanfani was "incensed" about
Paris' recent proposals to Bonn for strengthening bi-
lateral cooperation, particularly since French Pre-
mier Pompidou had made no mention of this in their
talks at Turin in mid-September
CFanfani has told the British that it might be better
to restrict political integration to the Six plus the UK.
As regards purely economic ties, however, Fanfani
favored full Common Market membership for countries
like Denmark and Norway and special arrangements
I for countries like Israel.

nearer to having the I D47 peace treaty reinterpreted
so as to allow Finnish armed forces to have defen-

Western and Soviet sources. The approval of the
