CAMBODIA: Communist efforts to cut Route 4
near Kompong Speu appear to be moving into high
gear. Within the past several days, enemy forces
have closed to within two miles of this provincial
capital, against only light government resistance.
Although there appears to be no immediate
threat to Kompong Speu itself, the Communists are
likely to increase pressure on the town to draw
government reserves into the area. This would
weaken government defenses along Route 4 between
Kompong Speu and Thnal Totung farther to the east.
The enemy could then strike at any location. along
this stretch of Route 4. The road was reopened to
government convoys only ten days ago, following a
two-week occupation by enemy forces.
Another objective of the enemy's campaign is
to eliminate the vestiges of government control in
the countryside immediately surrounding Kompong
Speu, where government pacification programs have
had some success. Many villages have been burned,
further swelling the refugee population.

CHILE: The streets of Santiago were calm over
the weekend, following Friday's abortive revolt by
a single army unit. Most newspapers have continued
publishing, although under some light-handed censor-
ship by the military.
Most of the action is now taking place in the
legislature, where President Allende's request for
a six-month state of siege has run into the obstruc-
tionist tactics of the conservative National Party,
augmented by opposition from the Christian Democrats.
The Christian Democrats say that they would sup-
port Allende's request if he would reorganize the
cabinet to include military officers and assure that
these officers may function without interference.
Allende has not replied directly, but he has reduced
the duration of his state of siege request from six
to three months and eliminated references to press
censorship.

URUGUAY: The dissolution of the National Con-
ven nn of Workers labor confederation this weekend
underscores the military's stiffening resolve to
press its will on all centers of national power
which challenge its broadening role in government.
After closing Congress last Wednesday, the
military had sought to deal with labor's immediate
protest strike by wooing it with promises of a hefty
wage increase and by giving it assurances that the
military-dominated government of President Bordaberry
would not take an anti-labor turn. In the face of
continuing labor opposition, however, the military
has abandoned this approach and has reportedly or-
dered the police to arrest about 200 labor officials,
apparently in hopes of breaking the strike by ren-
dering it leaderless. This latest action, coupled
with the military's instructions to the police to
act with restraint in evicting workers from occupied.
businesses, could encourage workers to return to
their jobs at the beginning of this week,. if public
transportation is restored and service stations re-
sume pumping gas.
Even if the President and the military succeed
in getting the workers back on the job, they could
still face future labor troubles. Some of the more
hard-line labor leaders could escape arrest and con-
tinue to lead their followers clandestinely.

USSR--AUSTRIA: Premier Kosygin begins a four-
day trip to Austria today, primarily to demonstrate
Soviet interest in close ties with this small but
strategic neutral on the eve of multilateral Euro-
pean negotiations.
No Soviet leader has visited Vienna since
Khrushchev did so in 1960. An Austrian invitation
has been pending since 1968; both sides may find
this a convenient opportunity to balance President
Nixon's visit to Salzburg last year.
Kosygin and Chancellor Kreisky will doubtless
discuss the European security conference that con-
venes in Helsinki tomorrow and, possibly, the Vienna
force reduction talks that convene on 30 October.
They are also likely to review Brezhnev's recent
summitry.
Otherwise, the two men will probably attend
to economic questions. Within the past year, Aus-
tria has concluded both an agreement with the Euro-
pean Communities and a ten-year pact for economic
and technical cooperation with the USSR. Austria
may be particularly anxious to renew its request
that deliveries of Soviet natural gas be doubled.
Earlier this year Soviet Trade Minister Patolichev
unexpectedly declined Austria's request for addi-
tional a ting inadequate pipeline capacity.

ICELAND: Norway's agreement to restrict fish-
ing waters claimed by Iceland will probably rein-
force Reykjavik's obstinancy in dealing with London,
its principal adversary. However, the agreement may
also make it more difficult for domestic opponents
of Iceland's NATO membership to represent the fishing
dispute as an Icelandic-NATO confrontation.
Norway accepted limitations on the types and
number of boats that may fish, but apparently has
not recognized Iceland's jurisdiction. It is the
second NATO country, after Belgium, to settle. Late
last week, West German negotiators traveled to Ice-
land for another round of talks. Although agreement
was not reached, Reykjavik will be encouraged to
hope for a settlement on its terms by the announce-
ment that Chancellor Brandt expects to visit Iceland
in August.
Iceland last week also formally started the
machinery for renegotiation of its defense treaty
with the US. Opponents of the US-manned NATO base
at Keflavik were able to force this action by argu-
ing that NATO had been of no help in Iceland's at-
tempt to get the UK to withdraw its naval vessels
from the disputed waters. The split among NATO
states will make this line more difficult to sus-
tain, and Norway may even have enhanced its creden-
tials with the Icelanders to a point where it can
exercis a moderate influence on the base negotia-
tions.
