CSince the Sino-Soviet split broke into the open, the
Chinese have repeatedly implied that the Russians were
unfaithful to their treaty obligations. Peking's propaganda
has called the Soviets "untrustworthy cowards" -and deni-
~rated Soviet military strength as a/'tin-pointed spear."
~n an interview with Egyptian newsmen last spring,
Chou En-tai implied that the USSR might not came to
China's assistance if the US attacked and claimed that in
any case Peking would prefer the Soviets to stand clear.
In his widely publicized interview last September, For?
eign Minister Chen Yi went so far as to suggest that the
Soviets might even join the US and its allies if they attacked
China. Chou told a foreign diplomat in I~lovember that the
USSR would not come to Pekin 's assistance or even seek
to prevent a US attack.
[The Soviets have been more cautious in implying that
China's growing hostility toward the USSR was tending to
undercut the validity of the treaty. Moscow has issued a
number of guarded public warnings to this effect since
September 1963--noting that Soviet power would not neces-
sarily be available to'?unfriendly" socialist states or those
which embarked on irres onsible ursuit of their own spe-
cial aims and interests, the Russians have re-
cently given wide circulation to an o ficial document which
charges that China is trying to provoke a war between the
USSR and the US. This accusation may be intended in part
to prepare the ground for the Soviets to disavow any obliga-
tion to support China militarily should it become embroiled
in a war with the US. For the moment, however, neither
side is willing to bear the onus of publicly disavowing the
1950 treaty. Both Moscow and Peking paid lip service to
its validity in commemoratin the 16th anniversar of the
a reement on 14 Februar .

NOTES
Congo: The reconvening of the legislature early
this week will give the Congo's disgruntled politicians
a platform from which to attack President Mobutu.
Former premier Tshombe, one of the few politicos
with significant popular support, reportedly will re-
_- turn from Europe to attend the session and gauge
Mobutu's strength. Although the Mobutu regime has 25X1
lost much of its luster, the opposing politician.~s still ~%~
appear to lack the resources to overthrow it. ~
ana: Nkrumah appears to have acceptea for
now inability to reverse the recent army coup in
Ghana, although he apparently harbors illusions that
the public does not support it. In a private conversa-
tion on 4 MarcY~[with the US charge Nkrumah said
his only plan was to join his family in Cairo soon.
Nkrumah professed not to believe the US was involved
in the coup and seemed not to take his desi nation as
