Sino-Soviet Relations: The Peiping People's
Daily eorial of 27 February sets conditions for
an international Communist conference which
Khrushchev is certain to reject.
The editorial demands that Moscow first cease

mitting Peiping to continue its condemnation of Yugo-
slavia. It also calls on the Soviets to acknowledge
"past mistakes" and apologize to the parties they
have denounced.
The editorial reflects the continuing severe
strains in the Sino-Soviet alliance. Although Pei-
ping characterized Mao Tse-tung's meeting with the
Soviet ambassador last Saturday as "cordial;" Peo-
le's Dail on Sunday directed its fire at FrencE
anItalian Communists for "attacking the Commu-
nist Party of China:' Then on 26 February, the Chi-
nese newspaper carried the text of an Albanian ed-
itorial which suggested that Khrushchev was trying
to establish a "false unity" in the bloc.

Despite Khrushchev's request for a pause in the
polemics, the language of the Chinese editorial is up
to the level of the strongest invective that Peiping
has employed in the Sino-Soviet dispute. It explicitly
attacks the Communist Party of the Soviet Union for
"major mistakes" at its 20th party congress9 scorns
fears that "even .a tiny spark can cause a world con-
flagration;' and condemns the Soviet attitude on the
Sino-Indian border dispute. It insists on Chinese in-
dependence of Moscow, criticizing the actions of the
25
else's lead" on Cuba.

* France --US--EEC:.rance is likely to drag
its feet in the forthcoming US-EEC negotiations on
the US Trade Expansion Act,, but. will probably stop
short of disrupting them,
Ambassador Bohlen in Paris points out that, for
more han a year, French officials have made no
effort to conceal their distaste for the Trade Expan-
sion Act.
On tariffs, Paris has made it unmistakably clear
that i is in no mood to accept reductions of the mag-
nitude envisaged by the act. The French have argued
that large tariff reductions would weaken the cohe-
siveness. and "essential European character" of the
'EEC. French business leaders are also emphasizing
that there must be more time for European enterprises
to merge and consolidate on the American scale before
trade barriers between the US and Europe can be sub-
stantially reducer.
rBohlen believes that Paris will agree to some
tariff reductions, however, and be generally more
forthcoming in the negotiations if the other five EEC
members do not block further French initiatives on
the internal development of the EEC. Leaders of
the other five generally support the objectives of the
US act, but there is some sentiment for the French
position in all these countries F_ I

Burma: The Ne Win military regime is in trouble.
There is widespread discontent and apprehension
among both urban and rural segments of the popula-
tion over acceleration of the overnment's nationaliza-
9
tion program and the recent ouster of mo(lerate Aung
Gyi--formerly number-two man. Farmers, partic-
ularly, are bitter over new regulations governing the
sale of rice to the state.
While civilian opposition.is not unified at present,
discontent is serious and spontaneous demonstrations
could develop at any time. Government repression
would fan civil strife and might lead to disaffection
among the military.
