Political Goal

Most likely, though, the dis
patch Of the high-level mission has
a predominately political goal
to demonstrate to Mr.. Tshombe
that the United States was back
ing the efforts to end his seces-
sion. There is every likelihood
that the strong American effort
may put increased pressure on
Union Miniere and other Euro
pean officials to add their powers
of persuasion for unification.
The outlook for the Congo q
unclear. There could be a nego-
tiated settlement as everyone
wants - or there could be fight
ing. Much depends on Mr.. Tshom-
be's attitude. If he takes concrete
steps toward meeting the U. Ms
demands, he can probably get
quite good terms. The main OBJ
stacles are over the distribution
of Katanga's revenues, and over
the Indignation Of the Congolese
armies.

plete withdrawal along the north
eastern front.
But Mr.. Nehru, an author Of
history books, knows the mean
ing of aggression with limited OBJ
jectives. The lesson of history is
that if a country gets its limited
detectives 1t will want more lin
tied detectives. He knows it is
important to discourage the pres
ent phase of Chinese expansionism
without specializing too much on
China's larger aims or whether a
slice of Ladakh might satisfy Chi
mas hunger for the whole Asian
pie.
midas main task now is to
build up the kind of military force
to make further Chinese adven-
lures along the northern borders
impracticable. AS the American
and British missions tried to con-
vince New Delhi last month, to do
this it must somehow make peace
with its 15-year antagonist, PAX

u. N. Forces

BY the middle Of July, United
Nations forces were sent to the
Congo at the request Of Premier
Patrice Lumumba, angered by
Belgian aggression" The slow
ness Of the U. N. in getting Bel
gian forces to leave the Congo
especially In Katanga led Mr..
Lumumba to accept aid from the
Soviet Union in August, 1860.
Up to then, all foreign assist
ance had been channelled
through the U. N. Including the
use Of American transport
planes. The massive shipment Of
Soviet equipment. technicians,
and propaganda, threatened to
introduce the cold war into the
Congo. But before this could hap
pen, Col. Mobutu, a former
MOO, seized power and ordered all
Communist officials out of the
Congo. without much choice. the
Communists left-not to return
until this year.

chose to remain with India when
the sub-continent was partitioned
at the close of British rule, feels
that especially the stored Vale of
Kashmir is an integral part of
India. Most Indians, from urban
intellectual to rustic peasant, re-
gard PakiStan'S claim to Kashmir
with the emotional outrage of a
father who has given his son part
of his farm and then discovers
the son covetS his choicest pas
ture.
The issue is so emotionally
freighted it is doubtful whether
the Vests inSiStence that New
Delhi come to terms with Pakistan
over Kashmir will be fruitful.
The tragedy is that the Indo-
Pakistan quarrel. as bitter and
vindictive as only a family quar-
rel can be, puts the sub-conti-
nent right back in its classical
role of being too internally di-
vided to ward off an external ag-
gressor.

often rule in Leopoldville, leading
to q fear that Mr., Adoula will be
toppled II some action is not
taken soon against Katanga.
Q American officials know that
the main U. N. force in the Congo
is made up of 5000 Indian
soldiers badly needed in India.
AS 1t stands now, it i5 not certain
that the U. N. army could defeat
Katanga. The Congo central army
Is far from Katanga's equal.
. Thus, officials believe that If
events are left to deteriorate,
Adoula'S already the
victim Of several no confidence
votes-will fall, and Mr.. Tshom-
be'S army will become stronger.
o And since the U. N. cannot
be expected to continue the $40
million a month to the Congo
past the summer, there is every
chance that the Congo equilib-
rum will be shattered by big
power intervention. The expert
ence Of August. 1860. has led
American officials to suspect that
the Soviet Union would like to
send equipment to SOW discord in
the Congo.
. Moreover. some State Depart
ment officials report that the
Soviet Embassy has been holding
talks with anti-Adoula elements,
in an effort to turn them against

been made.

has asked for a boycott of Ka-

fort to force Mr.. Tshombe to the
negotiating table.
Mr.. knowing that the
U. N. spends $40 million a month
for Congo support - warned Mr..
Tshombe that he might take
stronger action, If Katanga did
not comply with the unification
agreements. The United States
has supported Mr.. Thant, but the
other Western powers have not
been in full accord. France has
no use for U. N. action, and Brit
ain fears a precedent in African
affairs, especially since Rhodesia
borders on Katanga.

declaration which recognized
the indivisible unity Of the Congo
Republic" The agreement was
sealed on December 81, 1861, but
there have been few concrete steps
to put 1t into effect.
AS a result. the Katanga- Congo
drama is much the same today
as 1t was a year ago, but, in
Washington and in the United
Nations. there is growing appre-
hension that II the curtain does
not come down on Katanga Sc
cession, the signs Of chaos may
start appearing again.
American officials believe that
wherever there is a vacuum of
authority, communism finds an
easier entry. Thus, even though
the Congo is miles from the So
Wet Union, and hardly a center
OF the cold war, Washington fears
what could happen in q frag-
mented Congo.

BACKGROUND

The Congo is roughly the size
Of Western Europe, with a popu-
lation Of only Is million people.
1t includes a variety Of tribes
men, and some Of the world s
richest mines and plantations.
For administrative purposes,
the. Belgian government divided
the. Congo into six provinces, Of
which Katanga Province in the
south is the richest. Katanga's
economy is dominated by the I'm
ion. Miniere combine which pro-
duceS 7 per cent OF the worlds
copper and two-thirdS OF its
cobalt.
This division was rather arbi-
trary. and did not take into ac-
count traditional tribal differ
ences. Katanga. for instance. can
be divided-as the Central gov
ernment has tried TO do-into a
southern Katanga, dominated by
Mr. Tshombe's Lunda tribe and
northern Katanga where the b.
lubas live.

leftist elements in the Congo-was
arrested, and murdered in Febru-
airy, 1861, setting off worldwide
attacks on both Mobutu and
Tshombe both held responsible
for his death.
With the crisis over Katanga
continuing into 1861, Congolese
and U. N. officials decided that
the Congo would never be stable
and economically viable until Ka-
tanga rejoined the Congo. A series
Of U. N. resolutions authorized the
use of force to prevent civil war
and to expel all foreign mercen-
aries. This led to a series of
clashes in September, 1861 and
later to the strong attacks of
December, 1861.

The Big Question

Considering the enormity Of the
future expense in keeping India
secured economically and mill
tarily against further Communist
advances, many observers were
not surprised at the oblique hints
that India should mend her dis
pute with Pakistan and think
militarily in terms limited to a
strong northern border defense.
The question now being asked in
New Delhi is whether the United
States is willing to help India
recover her lost territories in
Ladakh when negotiations with
the Chinese eventually break
down.
In any case, midas mood is now
one of settling down to begin the
long term undertaking of pa.
tiently dealing with the Chinese
without giving in and trying
somehow to heal the split with
PakiStan, while attempting at the
ooLAAC bAAA4C W Llld1llOd11l J1lC PICo~
ent pace of economic development
and build the kind of military
force needed to discourage any
new Chinese incursions.
There is no longer any illusion
that the Chinese will refrain from
further attempts to push south
ward in the future. Not only be-
cause a Communist China cannot
afford to have India set an Asian
example of economic progress by
a democratic government but also
for the more basic reason that
China is a poor land of TOO mill
lion people and a bad climate.
She still looks hungrily south
ward to a Southeast Asia Of re-
liable rainfall, more practicable
rivers, relatively small popula-
tons and rich rice harvests.
But for the moment, India, and
the United States behind her, still
stands in the way.

discussions to order a fact-finding
military mission headed by 1t.
Gen. Louis Truman to the Congo.
Gen. Truman's job will be to eval-
uate the various military forces
in the Congo and to recommend
what additional equipment would
be given the U. N. forces. The
equipment will be used in case Of
another Katanga-U. N. showdown.

DEVELOPMENTS

There has been growing concern
in Washington over the following
Congolese events:
. Premier Adoula's prestige has
steadily dropped in the Congo.
Since he is pledged to force
Katanga's re-entry, he has been
attacked by nationalist who OBJ
jected to his slowness. Moreover,
anti-Adoula sentiment has been
boosted by the Tshombe delegates
who prefer a weak Leopoldville
government. In addition, emotions

Much Criticism

The U. Ms military role. backed
by the Afro-Asian bloc and the
United States Government,
caused more criticism of the U. N.
than any single action taken by
the world body. Critics, primarily
in Europe but also in the United
States, said the U. N. had no
business interfering in a nations
internal affairs.

to a new premier grille Adoula

Belgian forces and Mr.. Tshombe's

Congo and African politicians as
an attempt by Belgium to reaS-
sert influence in the Congo.

NEW DELHI secret of
what will happen next in China's
almost-war against India is locked
in the head of Peking's Commu-
mist ruler, Mao Tse-tung. And no
one can read Macs mind.
For a few days last month,
there was no certainty whether
the Chinese had only limited OBJ
jectives or were attempting an
all-out invasion of their southern
neighbor, including the bombing
Of Indian cities and a military
drive down to the sub-continent's
tip Of Cape Comorin.
Two things weighed heavily
against the possibility that China
wanted a full-scale war at this
time: A scarcity Of food and a
dependence on Russian oil sup
plies.
A country which must import
$500 million worth Of food a year,
as China is doing from midas
Commonwealth allies Of Australia
and Canada, has no margin of
food supplies to carry 1t through
a prolonged military venture.
Then while China is potentially
an oil-producing nation with es-
timated reserves Of 100 to 200
million tons), the total present
output of its five major oil re-
fineries is only 8 million tons a
year. zone plant for extracting
synthetic oil supplements this
output by 2 million tons a year,.
