Cuba: (Fidel Castro has displayed a growing sym-
pathy for the Chinese Communist ideological position
in the dispute with Moscow
25X1,

25X1
as ro s re-
marks made obvious is affinity for the Chinese posi-
tion. Castro's predilection for
the Chinese side is also evident in the quantities of
Peiping's propaganda circulating within his developing
political machine, the United Party of the Socialist
Revolution (PURS).
(Castro confided that the "real" lead-
ers f the PURS are men whose personal loyalty he is
confident about. The "conventional" Cuban Communists,
he declared, are more responsive to Mo cow than to
himself, and have no power in the party.
In speaking of Panama, Castro stated that the
tempo of revolutionary action there must be intensi-
fied. He urged that Panamanians who have received
training in Cuba be directed to launch a campaign of
sabotage similar to that underway in Venezuela. He
said that while he cannot risk sending arms directly
to Panama, he would be willing to supply "any uan-
tity" of US dollars necessary for buying arms
(Quiescent for many years, Communist activity
in PC= has recently increased somewhat, appar-
ently because it is receiving more sophisticated di-
rection than formerly. Howe er it is still very far
from revolutionary in tem o.

Argentina: (President-elect Illia, who takes office
on 12 October, has favorably impressed Ambassador
McClintock and representatives of several US firms
.(AMfter a recent conversation, Ambassador McClin-
tockbelieves that Illia will not take precipitate action
against either the US-Argentine Investment Guarantee
Agreement of 1959 (IGA) or the oil contracts with US
firms. Illia has assured US businessmen that the oil
companies holding such contracts would be consulted
and that some new understandings might be worked
out)
egarding the IGA, Illia said he was amenable to
consultation, but left the impression Argentina would
eventually abrogate the agreement. A portion of the
agreement has been attacked by Illia's party as a de -
ogation of sovereignty and a slight to national pride.
Illia stressed that foreign and domestic capital
-

would be given fair and equal treatment and that

 USSR--Outer Spac : (There are indications that
Moscow may be intereste in reaching some agree-
ment with the US on outer space as a further step to
keep alive ~he "Moscow spirit" created by the test-
ban treaty./#
25X1
Soviet UN delegate Federenko recently indicated
privately that agreement might be reached. on the
basis of "reasonable compromise and mutual conces-
sion." He repeated the Soviet position, however, that
any agreement must include a prohibition of the use
of earth satellites for reconnaissance or "war propa-
ganda" purposes.J
CFFederenko's deputy, on the other hand, indicated
some flexibility in this position, specifically on the
war propaganda issue)
Foreign Minister Gromyko told Ambassador
Kohler on 10 September that Moscow agrees in prin-
ciple with the US concept of joint cooperation in outer
space projects. He added that he was prepared. to
discuss this subject during his visit to the PS this
-month to attend the UN General AssemblyJ ,

*Venezuela: Left-wing terrorism and. military
plotting against the government are increasing in
anticipation of the presidential lection, which must
legally be~.held. by 1 December.
the Venezuelan
Co munist Party has begun a new campaign of "de-
structive activities" which is to be sustained through
the end. of November. The object of the campaign is
to create as much confusion as possible in the hope
that this would goad the military to action against
Betancourt)
The US Embassy in Caracas indicates that al-
thou h rumors of military coup plotting are rife,
the unrest among the officer corps lacks effective
leadership, and there is no consensus about what
should be done. Many officers fear, however, that
if the election were held, it would produce a weak
government supported only by a bare plurality, which
would. bring fresh gains to the Communists and their
extremist allies.

South Korea: Antiregime university students in
Seoul are conside ing whether to stage a political rally
about 13 September to protest the failure of the civil-
ian opposition to unite. The present atmosphere of
tension on South Korean campuses is such that further
disturbances may occur if a "spark" is applied. The
organizers are aware that ro overnment students may
capture the demonstration.
Jordan-Egypt: King Husayn is continuing his ef-
forts to arrange a rapprochement with Nasir. A pro-
UAR newspaper editor from Jerusalem has been sent
to Cairo to assure Nasir that Husayn sincerely wants
to improve relations. The King apparently hopes that
Nasir now will be more receptive than he has been.
Both leaders distrust the Baathists in Syria and Iraq
and Jordan recently demonstrated "nonalignment" b
t lis in relations with the USSR.

j Chile-France: An official of the Chilean Foreign
Office has informed the US charge that contrary to
an earlier Chilean press report, Chile is not break-
ing commercial relations with France. He said Chile
has as vet received no official demarche from France
concerning Santiago's attitude toward French nuclear
testing. The official added that Chile, nevertheless,
remains concerned and hopes that France will either
cancel the test series or hold it elsewhere than in
the Pacific. 25X1
