G. EASTERN EUROPE:
Imaginea comunismului ar putea avea și mai mult de suferit în ochii africanilor: studenții africani din București, cu probleme asemănătoare celor de la Sofia, speră să-și facă o uniune studențească.
THE COMMUNIST IMAGE MAY SUFFER FURTHER DAMAGE IN AFRICAN EYES. AFRICAN STUDENTS IN BUCHAREST, ENCOUNTERING PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO THOSE EXPERIENCED IN SOFIA, ARE HOPING TO ORGANIZE A STUDENT UNION; AFRICAN STUDENTS IN MOSCOW ARE SAID TO BE "EXTREMELY" DISTURBED BY THE TROUBLES IN BULGARIA.
Românii se împotrivesc deciziei CAER din februarie, care le cere produse petroliere, îngrășăminte și agricultură în locul marilor industrii noi. Cu sprijin la bază, conducerea de partid va ceda greu.
Moscow is having its difficulties in organizing and coordinating the economies of Eastern Europe through CEMA--the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance. The Rumanians are bucking a February CEMA decision that they abandon most of their plans for major new industries and concentrate instead on petroleum products, fertilizers and agriculture. Party leaders in Bucharest have sought and received support for their stand at the grass roots level and will find it difficult to back down should the Soviets elect to press the issue.
Planificarea economică a blocului sovietic pare să se împotmolească. Comitetul Executiv al CAER se reîntrunește în 10 sau 12 zile, iar România ezită să accepte rolul primit în integrarea economică.
a. Soviet/Satellite economic planning seems to be running into snags.
b. The Executive Committee of the Bloc's Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CEMA) is to meet within the next 10 or 12 days. It concluded a meeting only last week and it normally meets only every other month.
c. We know that one issue in dispute is Rumania's reluctance to accept its allotted role in CEMA's plans for economic integration.
d. The Polish delegate, in a statement to the press after the last meeting, dropped a hint that the problem could be broader than the specific issue of Rumania. He said the "debates" were "pervaded by the concern" with which members "approached the expansion and deepening of cooperation."
Indiciile adunate ridică întrebări despre relațiile româno-sovietice: România a amenințat cu retragerea din CAER, critică acțiuni politice sovietice din al Doilea Război Mondial și e relativ tăcută în disputa sino-sovietică.
a. We have a mounting collection of bits and pieces which have led us to wonder about the status of Rumanian-Soviet relations.
b. Rumanian resistance to certain CEMA plans for an integration of the Rumanian economy with that of the bloc. Rumania has threatened to withdraw from CEMA over the issue.
c. We note a present willingness by Bucharest to criticize certain Soviet World War II political actions.
d. In contrast to the other satellites, Rumania has been relatively mum on the Sino-Soviet dispute and may even be playing footsy with the Chinese--new agreements have upped Rumanian trade with China and Albania a notch, and Rumania returned an ambassador to Albania in late March.
În română
a. S-a strâns o colecție tot mai mare de frânturi, care ridică întrebarea cum stau relațiile româno-sovietice.
b. rezistența României față de anumite planuri ale CAER de integrare a economiei românești în cea a blocului. România a amenințat că se retrage din CAER din această cauză.
c. Se observă că Bucureștiul este dispus acum să critice anumite acțiuni politice sovietice din al Doilea Război Mondial.
d. Spre deosebire de ceilalți sateliți, România a vorbit puțin despre disputa chino-sovietică și s-ar putea chiar să cocheteze cu chinezii: noi acorduri au ridicat puțin comerțul României cu China și cu Albania, iar la sfârșitul lui martie România și-a retrimis ambasadorul în Albania.
Prim-secretarii partidelor din blocul sovietic se reunesc, se pare, în iunie la Moscova, prima oară de la mijlocul lui 1962. Disputa României cu CAER va fi probabil printre subiectele principale.
a. A meeting of the first secretaries of the Soviet bloc parties--the first to be held since mid-1962--appears scheduled for June in Moscow.
b. Problems of economic integration--particularly the Rumanian wrangel with CEMA--will probably be well up on the agenda.
c. The Polish party is attaching a great deal of importance to this meeting, which is expected "to significantly affect the Polish economy."
d. The meeting will fall between the Soviet party plenum set for 18 June and the two-sided encounter between the Soviets and the Chinese Communists which will begin on 5 July. This timing will give the Soviets a chance to put the East European ranks in step before facing the Chinese.
Liderii români par încă convinși că integrarea economică dorită de Moscova ar lăsa România pe planul doi. Venit să-i înduplece, Podgornîi a ascultat un discurs public intransigent al lui Ceaușescu.
a. Rumanian leaders apparently remain convinced that Moscow's plans for economic integration would leave Rumania a second class citizen in the Bloc.
b. Soviet Presidium member Podgorny has been in Bucharest to persuade them otherwise. But on Wednesday, he was treated to an uncompromising public speech by Rumanian party secretary and Presidium member Ceausescu.
c. Ceausescu quoted Lenin to support Bucharest's view that "equalization of the level of construction of Socialist states is indispensable for the construction of Communist society."
d. This is a favorite Chinese chestnut, too.
e. Curiously, when the Soviet government newspaper Izvestiya carried Ceausescu's speech, it deleted this offending paragraph and another relating to indispensability of heavy industrial development. Pravda ran the text in full.
În sud-estul Bulgariei pare în desfășurare cel puțin o etapă a manevrelor Tratatului de la Varșovia din acest an, cu unități bulgare, sovietice și românești de cel puțin o divizie.
At least one phase of this year's Warsaw Pact exercises appears now to be underway in southeastern Bulgaria, involving Bulgarian as well as Soviet and Rumanian units of at least divisional size.
Reuters relatează zvonuri de la Moscova că Hrușciov a plecat brusc în România sau urmează să plece. CIA nu are nicio confirmare și nicio veste despre zboruri oficiale neprogramate.
REUTERS THIS MORNING WAS REPORTING RUMORS FROM MOSCOW THAT KHRUSHCHEV HAD SUDDENLY LEFT FOR RUMANIA, OR WAS ABOUT TO. AS OF 0800 EDT (OUR PRESS TIME) WE HAD NO CONFIRMATION AND HAD NO NEWS OF UNSCHEDULED VIP FLIGHTS FROM MOSCOW.
Dacă Hrușciov a plecat într-adevăr în România, lucru încă nesigur, socotește pesemne că divergențele economice româno-sovietice îi cer atenția personală. Nu s-au văzut însă avioane oficiale spre București.
A. IF KHRUSHCHEV HAS IN FACT GONE TO RUMANIA AS RUMORED--WE STILL ARE NOT SURE, BUT A SPEECH IN MOSCOW ON TUESDAY WAS READ FOR HIM--HE MUST THINK RUMANIA'S ECONOMIC DIFFERENCES WITH THE USSR NEED HIS PERSONAL ATTENTION BEFORE THE SINO-SOVIET CONFRONTATION NEXT WEEK.
B. WE HAVE, HOWEVER, SEEN NO SIGNS OF THE MOVEMENT OF VIP AIRCRAFT TO BUCHAREST, WHICH WE WOULD NORMALLY EXPECT.
C. ALTHOUGH THE RUMANIAN DEVIATION IS NOT ONE TO WHICH THE CHINESE WOULD BE SYMPATHETIC, BUCHAREST AND PEIPING ARE EACH TRYING TO EXPLOIT THE OTHER'S QUARREL WITH MOSCOW.
D. RUMANIA IS THE ONLY EAST EUROPEAN COUNTRY TO PUBLISH A SUMMARY OF THE LATEST CHINESE PARTY LETTER, WITH ITS IMPLIED CONDEMNATION OF SOVIET "ECONOMIC EXPLOITATION" OF THE SATELLITES.
E. KHRUSHCHEV IS NOW DUE IN EAST BERLIN ON FRIDAY--TWO DAYS BEFORE ULBRICHT'S BIRTHDAY PARTY, THE OFFICIAL EXCUSE FOR HIS VISIT.
Discursul lui Hrușciov din 21 iunie pare menit să întărească disciplina în partidul sovietic înaintea confruntării cu chinezii. Mâine, în Berlinul de Est, se adună liderii partidelor est-europene, fără Gheorghiu-Dej.
A. KHRUSHCHEV'S RAMBLING 21 JUNE SPEECH TO THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE PLENUM, JUST PUBLISHED, LOOKS LIKE AN EFFORT TO STRENGTHEN DISCIPLINE WITHIN THE SOVIET PARTY BEFORE THE FORTHCOMING CONFRONTATION WITH THE CHINESE.
B. LASHING OUT AT BOTH DEVIATIONISTS AND RECALCITRANT INTELLECTUALS HE WARNED THAT DEVIATION FROM THE KREMLIN LINE COULD GET ONE THROWN OUT OF THE PARTY.
C. THE SPEECH GAVE NO NEW INSIGHTS ON MOSCOW'S TACTICS IN THE 5 JULY SINO-SOVIET MEETING OR ON SOVIET FOREIGN POLICY.
D. KHRUSHCHEV WILL PROBABLY UTILIZE THE GATHERING TOMORROW OF EAST EUROPEAN PARTY CHIEFS IN EAST BERLIN--ALL BUT RUMANIA'S GHEORGHIU-DEJ--TO COORDINATE STRATEGY FOR NEXT WEEK'S MEETING.
Moscova încă încearcă să ascundă vizita grăbită a lui Hrușciov la București din 24–25 iunie. Ambasadorul Jegalin susține că era la Moscova, dar CIA crede în continuare că a plecat.
Moscow is still trying to cover up Khrushchev's hurried visit to Bucharest on 24-25 June. Soviet Ambassador Zhegalin stated flatly in Bucharest that Khrushchev received the Women's Congress group in Moscow 24 June. However, Moscow's Mayor greeted the opening session and the Soviet delegate read Khrushchev's message to the group. We continue to believe Khrushchev made the trip.
Convorbirile sino-sovietice s-au întrerupt cu promisiunea reluării. Reuniunea CAER de miercuri va discuta sigur nesupunerea României, deși ambasadorul român la Moscova i-a spus lui Kohler că problema s-a rezolvat mulțumitor.
a. The two parties managed this weekend to extricate themselves from the talks with a communique stating they have "agreed" to resume discussions, "some time later."
b. Several East European countries, in commentaries so similar that Moscow's guidance seems apparent, have harshly criticized the Chinese.
c. As expected, the party and government chiefs of the CEMA member states are to meet Wednesday in Moscow, for the first time since 1962. Moscow has also announced an aid agreement for Yugoslavia and Khrushchev's plan to go there in August.
d. The CEMA meeting may discuss breaking economic relations with Peiping, and will surely deal with Rumania's recalcitrance. The Rumanian ambassador in Moscow told Kohler Saturday that this problem had been satisfactorily resolved.
Bucureștiul insistă că vrea relații economice mai bune cu SUA. Gheorghiu-Dej i-a spus lui Freeman că CAER a lăsat deoparte planificarea supranațională și că România vrea instalații industriale americane.
a. Rumanian officials have been assiduous the past week or so in their protestations that they desire better economic relations with the US.
b. Gheorghiu-Dej told Secretary Freeman that the proposals for supranational planning had been shelved at the last CEMA meeting. The Rumanian leader insisted that his country would proceed with its industrialization program, adding that "no one tries to prevent us from buying from the Americans."
c. Rumania, he said, wants to buy US industrial installations and will find the means to pay for them.
Românii vor să-și trimită președintele Comisiei de Planificare în SUA, la discuții comerciale. Îi interesează utilaje pentru industriile chimică, petrolieră, a cauciucului, a hârtiei și radio-TV.
The Rumanians want to send their Planning Commission chairman to the US for trade talks. They are interested in buying equipment for their chemical, oil, rubber, paper, and radio-TV industries. Their trade with the US amounted to only $1.5 million last year, but it has been growing rapidly with Western Europe.
Potrivit iugoslavilor, Gheorghiu-Dej îi va vizita în următoarele zece zile. La Belgrad se zvonește că va semna un acord pentru un proiect comun energetic și de navigație pe Dunăre.
a. The Yugoslavs report that Rumania party boss Gheorghiu-Dej will pay them a visit within the next ten days.
b. The rumor in Belgrade is that he will sign an agreement on joint Rumanian-Yugoslav construction of a power and navigation project on the Danube.
c. Rumania has heretofore been the most reluctant of the Soviet bloc states to improve relations with Yugoslavia though it has loosened up in other departments.
Un oficial al agenției române de presă a insistat ca Washington Post să deschidă un birou permanent la București. Corespondentul Estabrook ar recomanda asta dacă negocierile ziarului cu Moscova trenează.
A Rumanian news agency official has pressed visiting Washington Post European Correspondent Walter Estabrook to establish a permanent news office in Bucharest. Estabrook told legation officials that the Post had been negotiating with the Soviet Government for some time on opening an office in Moscow. He said that if these talks continued to drag on he would recommend that his paper open a bureau in Bucharest.
Vizita lui Gheorghiu-Dej în Iugoslavia e sigură, între 22 și 30 noiembrie. România a fost cel mai reticent stat din blocul sovietic în a-și îmbunătăți relațiile cu Belgradul.
PRESIDENT GHEORGHIU-DEJ'S VISIT TO YUGOSLAVIA IS DEFINITELY ON FOR NOVEMBER 22-30. RUMANIA HAS BEEN THE MOST RELUCTANT OF THE SOVIET BLOC STATES TO IMPROVE RELATIONS WITH BELGRADE.
Firma americană Ferguson and Company va primi în curând un contract de 32 de milioane de dolari pentru uriașa oțelărie de la Galați, proiect pe care sovieticii încearcă să-l descurajeze.
Rumanian officials are about to award a US firm, Ferguson and Company of Cleveland, Ohio, a $32 million contract to help build the huge Galati steel plant. The Rumanians are pressing ahead with this project in the face of Soviet efforts to discourage it in various ways, most importantly by refusing to underwrite the scheme to any substantial degree.
Parisul a hotărât să-și ridice legațiile din România, Ungaria și Bulgaria la rang de ambasadă, după o măsură similară luată de Londra săptămâna trecută.
Paris has decided to raise the level of its legations in Rumania, Hungary, and Bulgaria to embassies. This follows a similar move by London last week.
Alt gest de independență față de URSS: românii au acceptat să livreze Chinei, anul viitor, benzină și kerosen de aviație, obținute de Pekin până acum doar de la sovietici.
a. In yet another gesture of independence from the USSR, the Rumanians have agreed to supply aviation gas and jet fuel to the Chinese Communists next year.
b. This will be the first time that Peiping has obtained these products from other than Soviet sources.
c. The Soviets have so far been willing to continue supplying China's needs in this respect, but Peiping has been trying hard to diversify.
