Jordan: Prospects for settling the dispute over
stationing foreign Arab military forces in Jordan re-
main dim following the second session of the Arab
Defense Council in Cairo yesterday.
Cairo radio reported that Ahmad Shuqayri, chair-
man of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO),
submitted several proposals regarding the PLO and the
Unified Arab Command. They undoubtedly emphasized
Shuqayri's long- standing recommendation that PLO
"army" units be organized and deployed in Palestinian
west Jordan. Since Israel's raid into west Jordan on
13 November, this recommendation has received strong
support from Jordan's Palestinians, but the Jordanian
Government remains adamantly opposed to cooperating
with the PLO, particularly so long as Shuqayri is its
leader.

Syria-Iraq- Lebanon: Iraq could be seriously hurt
by the Syrian seizure of the Iraq Petroleum Company
(IPC) pipeline yesterday.
Yesterday's decree by the radical Damascus re-
gime unilaterally levies on IPC higher transit rates
and export taxes on oil passing through the line from
Iraq retroactive to 1 January 1966. It also includes
an extra levy per ton imposed to "indemnify" the Syrian
Government for alleged underpayments of more than
$100 million during the past ten years.
25X
Iraq stands to lose some $270 million annual in-
come from oil exports, out of its total $382 million
oil income. At present the only means of exporting
northern Iraqi crude is the pipeline through Syria.
Despite this threat to Iraq's finances, the Iraqi prime
minister allegedly issued a statement yesterday back-
ing the Syrian move, after a discussion with a Syrian
mission which went to Baghdad Wednesday to discuss
the pipeline problem.
Lebanon also stands to suffer, since its refinery
at Tripoli depends on IPC oil. IPC intends to supply
Tripoli's daily requirement of 18,000 barrels from
the Tapline terminal of the Arabian= American Oil Com-
pany at Sidon, Lebanon. If this supply is cut off, IPC
will supply Lebanon by tanker. This would increase
oil costs substantially for Lebanon, which at the same
time would lose approximately $4 million annually
from IPC pipeline transit and loading fees.

The Syrians may not have calculated fully the im-
pact of their move on their own POL requirements.
Their refinery at Horns also depends on IPC oil.
The parent companies of IPC- - Standard Oil of
New Jersey, Mobil, British Petroleum, Compagnie
Francaise des Petroles, and Gulbenkian interests--
are apparently under no overwhelming pressure to
meet the Syrian demands. The pipeline through Syria
has long been amortized and they have other sources
for the oil they now get from northern Iraq.

NOTES
Poland - International Communism- A confer-
ence of Europeans. Communist parties is planned
for Warsaw earl next year,
The conference agenda re-
por e y wi be imi a to Vietnam and to European
security issues, but the possibility of holding a world
Communist meeting to discuss Communist China will
be taken up, at least informally. A Warsaw confer-
ence would be in keeping with Brezhnev's call for
multilateral consultations at the Hungarian part
congress last month.
Communist China, - Macao: Kwangtung Province
officials told a Red Guard rally in Canton on 7 De-
cember'that China will "resolutely back up" the "com-
patriots" in Macao- -the most explicit statement of
Chinese support to date. The colony has remained
calm since the riots of 3-4 December. Chinese
Communists there have expanded their demands that
the Portuguese authorities accept full responsibility
for the disturbances, but Macao's continued existence
has not been threatened.

Nigeria: Centrifugal pressures continue to build
up. Western Nigerian leaders have now begun to as-
sert themselves more forcefully. On 7 December
they publicly reiterated demands--which the federal
government has already rejected--that alllvorthern
troops and non-Western police be immediately re-
moved from the West. The West has apparently lost
confidence in the "effective federation" insisted upon.
by Supreme Commander Gowon and is moving toward
a loose confederation similar to that favored by the
25X1 Eastern Region.
Latin American Uruguayan officials are concerned
over the slow pace of preparations for the Inter-Amer:i-
can summit meeting. In the view of one official, lack
of progress at the current Latin American Free Trade
Association session in Montevideo dims the prospect
for meaningful discussion of regional economic integra-
tion at the summit conference. The Uruguayans are
probably unduly pessimistic, but their statements may
reflect a knowledge of lessening enthusiasm for the
summit meetin in some foreign offices
