France -Cambodia: France is considering extend-
ing id-ditionaleconomic and military aid to Cambodia.
Despite the general irritation in French Govern-
ment circles over Sihanouk's recent actions, the princes
direct appeal for French aid has posed a dilemma for
Paris. A flat rejection could adversely affect France's
position in Africa and the Middle East, as well as in
Southeast Asia. On the other hand, Paris is probably
reluctant to take over the recently canceled US finan-
cial commitments in Cambodia.

*Reaction: world reaction to the assassination
of President Kennedy and its aftermath is increas-
ingly preoccupied with speculation over theossible

ing exploited for almost every conceivable propaganda
line. The USSR continues to reflect sensitivity over
Oswald's political motivations; Khrushchev, talking
with Ambassador Kohler on 23 November, recalled
that Lenin had condemned "nihilist" activities and as-
serted the Soviet Communist Party is traditionally
Pravda citing a denial by the US Communist

IPL Cairo editorial expresses concern that Presi-
dent ohnson, while committed to the policies of his
predecessor, may have to compromise and postpone
decisions in order to avoid antagonisms as the US en-
ters an election year. Syrian Vice President Bitar
commented to Ambassador Knight on 25 November
that the Arab cause might suffer from the loss of
President Kennedy, "who had shown signs of increas-

Vest German and French press commentaries
range from expectations of initial uncertainty or
temporizing in US foreign policy to the bloomy view
of Der Spiegel that it is "doomed .to immobilit " for
the next year.
enevieve Tabouis, writing in Paris Jour, expects
