USSR: Foreign Minister Gromyko showed little if
any maneuverability on major issues during his talks
with the British this week]
Gromyko maintained a relaxed attitude through-
out the talks, but he repeatedly stressed that the US
was responsible for most of the present difficulties
between East and West. He indicated that, especially
in light of the Vietnam crisis, the Soviet Union would
continue its "freeze" in relations with the West)
The USSR apparently does not consider the time
ripe for formal initiatives in seeking a basis for ne-
gotiations on Vietnam. In his press conference yes-
terday, Gromyko categorically rejected even the pos-
sibility of discussing ways and means to bring about
an international conference on Vietnam`
[Gromyko told the British privately that the USSR
takes its Geneva conference cochairmen duties "se-
riously" and believes one of the primary duties of
the cochairmen is to induce the US to "cease aggres-
sion" in Vietnam. However, he rebuffed British For-
eign Secretary Stewart's attempt to probe for condi-
tions for a Geneva conference,
LGromyko asserted that the US, as "the aggressor,"
has no right to attempt to set preconditions for nego-
tiations. He further stated that until the US withdraws
its demands for preconditions, there is "no point in
engaging in hypothetical discussions about negotia-
tions.' J'

[Although Gromyko reiterated standard Soviet for-
mulations on disarmament questions, he left the door
open for a resumption of the Geneva Disarmament
talks. He firmly repeated Moscow's position that a
settlement of the UN financial crisis would have to be
made strictly on the basis of "voluntary" contributions)
[Gromyko left the impression with the British that
Moscow would not be receptive to a Western initiative
on German reunification at this time.)
British officials, in commenting on Gromyko's
over-all performance, expressed the view that divisive
factors within the Communist world have greatly re-
duced the Soviet area for maneuver

Congo: The rebel build-up in the Fizi region on
Lake Tanganyika apparently continues.
A report from the US Embassy in Leopoldville
estimates that several thousand "comparatively well-
trained" rebels are in the area, equipped with Commu-
nist-manufactured munitions which have been smuggled
across the lake from Tanzania.
Arms deliveries from Dar es Salaam to the Tan-
zanian lake town of Kigoma are evidently continuing.
Congolese rebels in Kigoma apparently are well pro-
tected by Tanzanian authorities, who permit them to
search for Leopoldville supporters aboard lake steamers
which dock there.
The rebels may be preparing for an assault on
Albertville or Uvira. Government forces in the Uvira
area have withstood many attacks and are soon to be
backed by about 50 mercenaries. Above Albertville,
however, the morale of government troops is low, and
only a few mercenaries accompany them. LTwo 150-
ton craft were reported being fitted out in Albertville
last week in an effort to stem the arms shipments,
but there is no information as to whether th a ves-
sels have begun patrolling on a regular basis
Efforts to carry out air strikes against rebels
in Fizi are being hampered by ammunition shortages,
caused in part by Belgium's reluctance to forward new
supplies. The problem seems to rest primarily with
the Belgian Defense Ministry which has reservations
about becoming deeply involved militarily in the. Congo
and is unwilling to provide funds to allow procurement
of adequate supplies of ammunition.

NOTES
Israeli artillery fire killed a Syrian bulldozer driver
Israel-Syria: [Israel for the first time has fired
on Syria's Jordan River diversion works. On 17 March
and destroyed some equipment being used on the proj-
ect. The incident developed when the Syrians fired
on an Israeli patrol moving along a disputed road.
Local UN observers suspect Israel of having provoked
the Syrians in order to have a pretext for the shelling)
Afghanistan: Afghanistan is in deep inancia
viet Union unless the King intervenes
Fund considers tolerable. Rather than cut back on
basic development projects or take other politically
painful retrenchment measures, Prime Minister
Yusuf seems inclined to lean more heavily on Soviet
economic support. During his projected visit to
Moscow in May, Yusuf may make agreements which
would tie the Afghan economy more tightly to the So-
trouble as its budgetary deficit for the fiscal year
ending on 21 March seems certain to reach double
the maximum figure which the International Monetary

South Korea: Government and opposition elements
are lining up their forces for a confrontation over
Seoul's plans for normalizing relations with Japan.
Former presidentYun Po-son is launching a nation-
wide drive designed to topple the government through
massive popular demonstrations when the impending
settlement comes up for ratification, possibly this
summer. President Pak Chong-hui is financing a
new student apparatus charged with heading off dem-
onstrations scheduled for 27 and 29 March, and has
ordered the jailing of student activists if necessary.
Pak is also prepared to impose martial law in the
months ahead}
