*UN - Israel - Arab States:
United Nations: A new Latin American-backed
draft resolution on the Arab-Israeli situation could
improve chances for defeat of the "nonaligned" res-
olution, which has Soviet and Arab backing.
The Latin American draft reportedly links im-
mediate withdrawal of Israeli forces to the ending of
the state of belligerency and certain other provisions.
The Latin Americans are said to have agreed late yes-
terday that they will sponsor it as a group.
Earlier, a proposed Western-backed resolution
had faced mounting opposition apparently connected
with Israel's incorporation of the Jordanian sector of
Jerusalem. Many delegates expressed the opinion that
greater urgency in demanding immediate withdrawal of
Israeli forces is now advisable. The Latin American
proposal could, however, provide the alternative which
might result in defeat of the "nonaligned" resolution.
Israel-Arab States: The Israeli decision regarding
Jerusalem apparently reflects the growing influence in
the cabinet of those, led by Defense Minister Dayan, who
favor a tough Israeli position on a settlement, and es-
pecially the permanent retention of the Old City. Dayan
is contemptuous of the UN, and he undoubtedly is deter-
mined to prevent it from having an important influence
on the terms of a settlement.
US Ambassador Barbour reports from Tel Aviv
that there are many Israelis who deplore the precipitate
action and attribute it in part to the fact that Foreign
Minister Eban was not there to warn of the international
repercussions which would result. Eban defended the
move in the General Assembly yesterday but stated that
Israel "remains willing" to discuss the future political
status of the Jordanian sector of Jerusalem.

Cambodia: L,Sihanouk may be considering some new
approach to the US in spite of a recent public statement
on the futility of Cambodian- US talks
I Earlier this month, during a diplomatic reception
in Paris, the Cambodian ambassador told a US Embassy
officer that he would like to "exchange views" on
developments in Southeast Asia and Cambodia in par-
ticular.
LAny official approach to the US would probably be
intended to balance Sihanouk's recent decision to up-
grade Cambodian relations with Hanoi and with the
South Vietnamese National Liberation Front following
their statements recognizing Cambodia's existing
frontiers. Sihanouk may also wish to probe US will-
ingness to issue a similar recognition of his borders.
On 28 June, Phnom Penh agreed to a qualified
Australian r1or'1 ratinn recognizing Cambodia's fron-

Panama: Opposition leaders have begun to cam-
paign against the draft canal treaties without waiting
for the text to be published.
The United Front--a group of political malcontents
and ultranationalists headed by Arnulfo Arias--is
claiming that the new drafts merely revise the 1903
treaty rather than abrogate it, as the people "demand. "
It characterizes President Robles' willingness to
negotiate and draft the treaties in English as a sell-
out of national sovereignty and a repetition of the
"unpleasant history of 1903. "
Arias' move to denounce the treaties even before
the substance of them is known is evidence of his in-
tention to pursue a hard line against any treaty put
forward by the Robles government.
Socialist assembly deputy Carlos Ivan Zuniga has
attacked the government rather than the drafts, calling
the announcement on 26 June "a joke" and a "publicity
stunt for political reasons. " Zuniga also implied that
the government intends to railroad the treaties through
the Assembly. His observation that a popular refer-
endum should be held after the 1968 presidential elec-
tions suggests that opposition elements will push for a
postponement of ratification until a new government is
formed.

Bolivia: The Barrientos government is becoming
increasingly shaky as problems continue to mount.
Despite military occupation of the mine complexes
at Huanuni and Catavi last week, the government has
not been able to establish its control over the area.
This show of weakness is encouraging opposition polit-
ical parties to step up their attacks, and they are play-
ing on the bloody aspects of the occupation in particular.
Disunity among the opposition, however, reduces their
effectiveness at this point.
Members of President Barrientos' political coali-
tion are not supporting the administration in the mine
crisis and are even talking of withdrawing from the
government. Their withdrawal would not in itself bring
down the government, but would add to public loss of
confidence in the regime.
The US Embassy believes that developments in the
next few days may be crucial. Should the crisis con-
tinue unresolved, combined student and labor agitation
is likely. The government's ability to maintain law
and order would then be severely strained, and the
military might be tempted to take over.

NOTES
Britain-Rhodesia: Lord Alport, Britain's emis-
sary to Salisbury, has found that the Rhodesians have
little interest in compromising for the sake of reopen-
ing independence talks. Alport probably will remain in
the colony another three weeks. London expects little
from his trip beyond a negative report whfch can be used
to silence domestic complaints that Prime Minister
Wilson's intransigence is preventing a settlement.1

Kenya - Communist China: Nairobi has declared
the Chinese charge d'affaires persona non grata and
has recalled its ambassador from Peking for consulta-
tions. The action follows a recent Chinese attempt to
discredit a Kenyan cabinet minister, who was described
as "aiding American imperialism. " Relations have
been strained since 1963, largely as a result of Chinese
support of opposition elements in Kenya. President
Kenyatta, while personally irritated with these Chi-
nese activities, has moved slowly in order to pre-
serve the appearance of Kenyan nonalignment. I
Communist China - Burma: The Chinese yester-
day stepped up pressure on Rangoon by staging a
massive demonstration outside the Burmese Embassy
in Peking. China's effort to prod the Ne Win regime
to curb anti-Chinese violence probably will stop short
of a prolonged campaign if there are no further out-
breaks. In Rangoon, the imposition of martial law ap-
arentl restored order on 29 June.
