Communist China - USSR, Peiping has stepped
up its attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in the. Soviet
position in the maneuvering for advantage prior to
the 5 July confrontation.
Moscow has left itself particularly open to attack
within the Communist world by its efforts to force
faster economic integration on members of CEMA
and by its response to the President's American Uni-
versity speech. Peiping has seized the opportunities
opened by these Soviet moves.
The bitter Chinese commentary on. the President's
speech, broadcast on 21 June by NCNA, is centered
on the. "great conspiracy" of the US to destroy the
Communist bloc by seducing. Communists into revi-
sionism and thus splitting Moscow away from Peiping.
The words are directed at Washington but the venom
is aimed at the, Russian leaders, some of whom Pei-
ping implies have been taken in.
The Chinese may later cite, as evidence of this,
Moscow's decision to publish the. President's speech
while suppressing the Chinese central committee
letter to the Soviet party. The Soviet ban on publica-
tion is now being evaded by the Chinese. Peiping's
embassy in Moscow is circulating. Russian-language
.texts of the Chinese. letter to other diplomatic mis-
sions, to newsmen, and, if past practice is followed,
to Soviet citizens as well. In an unprecedented ac-
tion, East Germany has formally protested to the
Chinese. Embassy in East Berlin for its illegal dis-
semination of polemical material.
One of the new areas of attack on Soviet practices
contained in the Chinese letter was a condemnation
of Soviet attempts to impose certain economic policies

paper. Although the summary omits the most po-

any of the letter- -reflects Rumania's dissatisfaction
with bloc economic developments and indicates its
growing willingness to act independently of Moscow.

East Germany. Defense Minister Hoffmann has
announced that changes will be made in the officer
corps of the East German armed forces to strengthen
its loyalty to the party and to enhance its expertise
in modern warfare.

The armed forces will release high-ranking and
older officers into the reserves and will also stress
Hoffmann said he realized that the readjustment
would be difficult and said the Ministry of Defense
"must smooth the path" for those being released. In
addition to revealing the regime's dissatisfaction with
the loyalty and professional qualifications of the of-
ficer corps, Hoffmann pointed out the necessity of
developing the "civil qualifications" of officer stu-
dents and said they would be trained to perform jobs
in civil life such as upper-grade teachers and tech-
nicians. This is another indication of the shortage
of trained workers in the economy.

British Guiana: Premier Jagan's chances of

rivalry and dist ust among political and labor op-
position forces.

The Trades Union Council (TUC) seems to

hav6 no clear-cut plan of action. Peoples' Na-
tional Congress leader Forbes Burnham is ap-
parently trying to exploit the TUC's present weak
ened condition in order to enhance his own polit-
ical position. United Force leader Peter D'Aguiar, M
who had previously cooperated with Burnham in
backing the T~C, is extremely bitter about Burn-
ham's conduct.
Formal negotiations between Jagan and the
TUC to end the strike, which once again seem
to be in prospect, will continue to b e extremely
difficult. In these, Jagan is likely to be influ-
enced by his advisers to resist any temptation to

Ethiopia: Emperor 14aile Selassie plans to an-
nounce in the near future important governmental
changes designed to placate the increasing number
of the regime's critics.
These will provide for collective ministerial re-
sponsibility under the prime minister's direct super-
vision, presumably in response to a petition presented
to the Emperor in late March urging that the prime
minister be given more authority. The petition was
signed by nearly all the top military and government
leaders who played prominent roles in suppressing
the 1960 coup attempt.
25X1
If the changes are implemented promptly, they
may satisfy--at least for the present--the growing
demand for rapid progress and reduce the frustra- 25X1
tion of the younger, educated elements.. Neverthe-
less, the anticipated changes fall short of those
sought by the petitioners--such as the election of the
'prime minister by Parliament--and further pressures
may be expected in due course.
