*Cypruso Ankara has insisted that "illegal" Greek
forces be removed from Cyprus.
Turkish Foreign .Minister Caglayangil, informed US
Ambassador Hart last night that, although Turkey still
wished to solve the current Cyprus situation diplomatically,
time was pressing. His government, .faced with the ques-
tion of its honor, demands agreement from Athens on
three immediate requirements: the payment of indemnity
for the fighting on 15 November, the return of weapons
to the Turkish Cypriots, and the removal of the Greek
forces or positioning of an equal number of Turkish forces
on the island. Once these objectives are obtained, the
:broader aspects of the problem could be resolved. He
said any contribution the US could make in getting Greek
concurrence would be welcoxne.
Caglayangil has laid full responsibility for recent
events on Athens. He asserted that all threats to the
Turkish Cypriots came from Grivas--who arrived in
Athens yesterday--and that the Greek Government "watched"
tY~is with delight.

There were numerous Turkish overflights of Cyprus
on 19 November probably intended as a show of force to
impress both the Greeks and the Turkish Cypriots..
The Turkish Cypriots initiated firing in several areas
on 19 November but the Greeks did not return the fire.

United Kingdom: Prime Minister Wilson's gov-
ernment should be able to ride out sharp domestic
criticism of its decision to devalue the pound and in-
crease restrictions on the British economy.
Only the liberal Observer, among leading Sunday
newspapers, firmly supported the government's move,
terming it "a brave act." More typical was the conserva-
tive Sunda Express comment that "thepeople of Brit-
ain have lost every scrap of confidence in his (Wilson's)
administration." Opposition leader Edward Heath
strongly condemned devaluation.
The criticism will no doubt mount as the belt-
tightening measures announced this weekend begin to
take effect. The government has raised the bank rate
to eight percent and a further increase in taxes is in-
dicated. Despite the unpopularity of these measures,
there is little likelihood of a government crisis as La-
bor holds a substantial majority and new elections are
not required before 1971.
The government, however, could face a serious
revolt within the Labor Party if the economic i~ p cture
not considerably brighter by next spring.

United Nations: Prospects for Security Council
approval of a resolution sending a mediator to the Mid?
die East appear brighter.
Israel and several of the Arab states have endorsed
the British draft resolution, but the UAR continues to
press for textual changes insisting that Israel withdraw
from "all" occupied territories--an amendment which
would be unacceptable to Israelo Moscow probably will
not veto the resolution if the UAR agrees to it.
The British appear willing to accept some minor
textual changes sought by the Latin Americans in order
to persuade them not to introduce their resolution which
