Republic of the Congo: Tension is mounting in Elisabethville,
the capital of Ka ant ga, according to the American Consulate. The
African populace is said to fear violence stemming from Katanga's
secession. Its pro--Belgian premier, Moise Tshombe, is making
an effort to ensure the loyalty of the Katanga Army and the police.
Although Belgian troops have been largely successful in restoring
order in Katanga, its claim to independence has been disavowed
by Tshombe's parliamentary opposition, the Balubakat party. The
consulate believes that the Lumumba government may encourage
an incident in Katanga to dramatize "popular opposition" to an in-

with Peiping would be delayed until after the general election
expected this fall. Kosaka stressed, however, the government's
need to maintain a public posture of "reasonableness and de-
sire" to improve relations with Japan's Communist neighbors;
this might initially be limited to the negotiation of a series of
technical agreements on such matters as postal affairs and mete-
orological exchanges. He expressed his personal view that the
issue of Okinawa's reversion to Japanese control should be avoided
during the coming election campaign. Kosaka also appeared per-
sonally more willing to compromise with South Korea-within the
limits imposed by public opinion--than did his predecessor.

Katanga Situation Approaching Critical Stage
Tension is mounting in Elisabethville, the capital of Katan-
ga, in the absence of any agreement among the Belgians, the.
United Nations, and the Congolese concerning Katanga's political
future. Africans in Elisabethville reportedly fear violence, and
many have sent their families out of the city. Premier Tshombd
has strengthened his personal security measures and has an-
nounced that all members of the Force Publique and police who
have demonstrated their loyalty to his government are td be
given an extra month's pay.
UN Secretary General Hammarskjold, who reportedly was
invited to visit Katanga by Tshonibd, has rejected suggestions
that he go there. His refusal to meet with Tshombd reflects
Hammarskjold's tough stand in favor of Congo unity and his in-
sistence on a complete Belgian troop withdrawal. Brussels'
announcement that it will withdraw to Belgium 1,500 of its
10,000 troops in the Congo appears designed as a gesture in
the.. direction of compliance with the UN resolution for the
evacuation of Belgian. forces. Brussels apparently hopes that
Tshombd will be able to negotiate with Lumumba conditions
under. which Katanga could rejoin the Congo; Belgian Premier
Eyskens declared on 28 July that the question is "no longer"
the unity of the Congo but the form which a unified Congo should
take. Tshombd'is opposed to the highly centralized form of
government espoused. by Lumumba, but is prepared to accept a
loosely joined Congo federation.
Despite some support in Brussels, Tshombd's position ap-
pears tenuous. Not even Belgium has formally recognized
Katanga's independence, and Tshombd's parliamentary opposi-
tion walked out of the assembly on 27 July in protest over the
premier's "arbitrary" declaration of Katanga's independence.
The US Consulate observes that the Lumumba government may
encourage an incident in Katanga to dramatize "popular opposi-
tion" to an independent Katanga and the need for TIN trnnna

CJapanese Foreign Minister Kosaka implied to Ambassador
MacArthur on 27 July that Japan's new government would de-
lay in seeking any accommodation with Communist China un-
til after the general election expected this fall. However, he
emphasized the government's need to maintain a public posture
of "reasonableness and desire" to improve relations with Ja-
pan's Communist neighbors; this might initially be limited to
the negotiation of a series of agreements relating to postal af-
fairs, exchange of meteorological information; and other tech-
nical matters. J
LKosaka flatly rejected a neutralist course for Japan and
said that a decisive Liberal-Democratic party victory in the
election must be the new government's first step in restoring
free-world. confidence in Japan. He indicated his personal in-
tent to avoid pressing the US to return Okinawa as long as the
American civil administration does not try to alienate the
Okinawans from Japan and continues to cooperate with the
Japanese in long-term economic development projects on
Okinawa. Kosaka complained, however, of the US refusal to
allow the Okinawans to fly Japanese flags. He added that he
hoped Tokyo would be permitted to introduce on Okinawa a
family registration system along Japanese lines. .j
CKosaka said he and Prime Minister Ikeda consider South
Korea the first line of Japanese defense against Communist
aggression and acknowledged the need to improve relations
with Seoul. He appeared more willing than his predecessor
to consider South Korean objections to the repatriation of Ko-
rean residents in Japan to North Korea but emphasized that
Japanese opinion, especially during an election campaign,
would limit his ability to compromise.
[Ikeda told MacArthur on 28 July that .lie. plans to stress
domestic rather than foreign policy issues during the coming
campaign and will concentrate on improving social welfare
and strengthening democratic government. Ikeda asserted
that, while he felt quite expert on domestic problems, he
plans to regard former Prime Minister Yoshida as his main
adviser on international matters. Because Kosaka lacks
diplomatic experience, it is likely that Yoshida and Ikeda. rath-
er than the foreign minister will set the foreign policy line-
