Chen's remarks, made at a banquet fora visit- ing African official, repeated ideas which the Chinese have previously employed in editorials and propaganda statements on Laos. Although they hint at the possi- bility of Chinese reaction in the event that the war escalates in Laos or spreads outside of South Vietnam, they remain deliberately vague concerning specific Chinese actions. Chen warned that the Chinese would "absolutely not sit idly by while the Geneva agreements are com- pletely torn up and the flames of war spread to their side:' Calling once again for negotiations, Chen de- clared that no one should mistake Peiping's desire for a peaceful settlement as a "sign of weakness and think they can do whatever they please in Indochina: 25X1 j j j j Chen Yi's remarks were probably not in reaction to the appointment of General Taylor as US ambassador 25X1 in Saigon.

Gov- ernment representatives appeared at the fields on Mon- day, rather than ~Nednesday when they were expected. The chief motivation for the government's move, however, would seem to be to reduce nationalist opposi- tion to its efforts to work out a new relationship with the companies whose contracts were annulled last No- vember.

It may be an effort to demon- strate that Jagan's top lieutenants, several of whom have been under detention for nearly two weeks, are not responsible far the growing violence in the colony. It may be designed to show that the governor cannot control the country despite his extensive emergency powers.
