Jordan: The Jordanian Government is recon-
sidering its policies toward neighboring Arab states
since the recent coups in Syria and Iraq)
Despite public statements by officials in the two
revo utionary governments clearly marking Jordan
and Saudi Arabia as countries still to be liberated
from "reactionary" rule, Jordan thus far has adopted
a restrained public attitude t ward them. It promptly
recognized both new regimes
Privately, however, both King Husayn and Prime
Mini Ater Tal are depressed and disturbed. They told
Ambassador Macomber on 10 March that they were
ready to respond in kind "if any further public slurs
are cast on Jordan." The King went so far as to say
that if anyone tried to provoke trouble within Jordan,
his regime would react forcibly against the external
source, of the trouble after suppressing the local up-

Israel - Arab States: Recent developments in
the Arab states will tend to raise the temperature
along the Arab-Israeli borders.
Although there is no evidence that the firing by
Syrian border guards on Israeli field workers on 11
March indicates the adoption of a tougher policy to-
.ward Israel by the new Syrian. regime, the Israelis
may nevertheless be more prone to react sharply to
any threat to their borders at this time. Arab state-
ments regarding a Syrian-Iraqi-UAR union, and
particularly Iraqi proposals for a unified military
command, undoubtedly have increased Israel's con-
cern for its long-range security.
Israeli leaders are. also extremely sensitive
about Jordan, and have frequently made clear that
the overthrow of King Husayn's regime would pro-
vole Israeli intervention.

France: (The 13-day-old coal miners' strike
threatens to provoke a political test of strength
which could jeopardize effecti a implementation of
De Gaulle's national programs.
(Union leaders now reportedly estimate that
funds are available to extend the strike for one or
two months and that further financial aid may be in
prospect. Although national labor leaders and unions
in other sectors of the nationalized industries have
been reserved in their support, the miners' stand
encourages other workers to pursue their own griev-
ances, and may induce them to call parallel strikes.

and railroad workers are holding a series of two-
hour work stoppages
(The government is reluctant to enforce its con-
scription orders in view of the solidarity of the miners
and the public support for their position from political
parties, church officials, and businessmen. Union
leaders reportedly believe that even a personal ap-
peal by De Gaulle would now be insufficient to break
the strike without further concessions, These would
not only elicit similar demands from other labor
elements, but would also. complicate the government's
effort to hold the line against inf lation i

Argentina: Some elements of the armed forces

the Popular Union Party, which will substitute for
the outlawed Peronist party in contesting the na-

however, have indicated they will not permit their
subordinates to upset the government's plans. Gov-
