The chance of an early move against Bosch by the

military may have increased. Armed Forces Minister
General Victor Elby Vinas Roman--a supporter of con-
stitutional government- -seems to be losing his restrain-
ing influence on military leaders hostile to the Presi-
dent. According to the US Embassy at Santo Domingo,
Commodore Rib Santamaria, Dominican navy com-
mander, asked the US naval attache on 11 September
"what the US attitude was going to be toward a mili-
tary junta." Mounting evidence that Rib, air force
commander General Atila Luna Perez, and other of-
ficers have been using their positions for personal
gain has heightened existing tension between them and
the governmen

On the political front, opposition "anti-Commu-
nis&!, demanded in a full-page newspaper broadside
on 12 September that Bosch promise before his trip
that he would take measures to "eradicate Commu-
nism." Failure by Bosch to reply before his depar-
ture, the advertisement continued, would be taken by
the signatories as a refusal to act, which would oblige
them to take "appropriate, efficient, and definitive
measures."
(Much of the agitation about Communism has been
gen ted by politicians favoring a coup. Some gen-
uine concern exists, however, on the part of disinter-
ested Dominicans. This concern is shared by Venezue-
lan President Romulo Betancourt, a long-time friend
of Bosch. Betancourt said recently he has received
"disturbing reports" of Bosch's tolerance toward Com-
munism a d is seriously concerned about the Dominican
situation.

Egypt: Egypt appears to be approaching its most
severe economic crisis in recent years.
The fall months preceding the time when foreign
payments for the cotton crop are received. are nor-
mally difficult for Egypt. Some $112.5 million made
available last year under an International Monetary
Fund stabilization program have been exhausted with-
out remedying the recurring balance of payments
crisis. USAID in Cairo believes that the Nasir re-
gime will again need extraordinary foreign assistance.
Cairo's policies have lowered the confidence of
the international financial community to an unprece-
dented low. While continuing its nationalization of
foreign property and business, the regime has indi-
cated that it may make even less effort to pay reason-
able compensation than in the past. It has frequently
been tardy in paying its short-term debts.
At the same time that Egypt has rejected foreign
advice to cut back on its overambitious economic de-
velopment program, it has been engaged in the costly
war in Yemen, has continued its other expensive ac-
tivities elsewhere in the Middle East, and has further
strained its resources b building up its missile and
'et aircraft programs.
