BERLIN - Western Europe's
hopes of peace, prosperity and
security look brighter in 1868 than

Since Russia's Cuban disaster,
the Kremlin has taken new soft

a Berlin settlement which might

two-thirds Of the state-including
the most fertile area. the Vale OF

A catalyst to the Indian Pakis-

which borders on Kashmir's north.
The area in this part OF the
world Is so sparse that well-de-

India and Pakistan will have

Middle East

BEIRUT. - This next year
could be the year of the show
down between Arab republicans
and kings.
In 1852, the long struggle be-
tween old and new in the Middle
East came suddenly into focus in
Yemen, whose feudal monarchy
was overthrown by Republican
revolutionaries.
Canal Abdel Nasser Of the
United Arab Republic rushed to
the rebels aid and found himself
in a power fight with Saudi
Arabia's uneasy royalty and Jor-
dams King Hussein.
For Yemen itself 1868 should
be more peaceful now that the
United States has bolstered its
new government with recognition.
But the rivalry of Mr.. Nasser and
the kings will grow.
The U. A. r. leader has prom
ised support for all popular"
revolutions and his followers
would consider one in Jordan,
Saudi Arabia or Republican Syria
once Mr.. Nasser's northern
province very popular"
Saudi Arabia in particular was
shaken by the Yemeni revolt and,
stirred by Cairo radio, faces grave
threats in the coming IL months.

tention, too, to his western neigh
Dor, Libya, which is becoming an

tinues to be a problem, especially
in poverty stricken belts. Several
nations. including giant Brazil
and volatile Argentina, face the
uncertainties Of elections. So do
Peru, Venezuela, Guatemala and
Chile.
The Communists, openly and
from underground positions, can
be counted upon to continue their
assault against President Kenne-
dy's $20-billion Alliance for Prog
ress program, which has not yet
met with enthusiastic response
and cooperation.
Brazil, with a deficit Of nearly
81 billion and its cruzeiro at a
record low, faces the need Of new
financing that the United States
alone-one authoritative source
Says-can not provide. A January
6 referendum likely will restore
presidential powers and give Pres
ident Joao Goulart a chance to
institute social and other reforms.
Argentina, which survived a
shooting crisis in 1862, also faces
mounting financial and political
difficulties. 1t will hold important
elections June Is; Peronists, Com
munists and others considered to
be totalitarian will be barred from
running.
Peru faces an electoral test,

UP by a military junta following

Africa will remain q vocal backer

There will be much talk about
North African unity-the "Magh-

Morocco. Few concrete steps to-
ward this aim are expected.
For Algeria, the year will be
crucial. 1t will determine whether
the country has a chance of re-
covery with the aid of France or
whether it will careen toward COM
plete anarchy.
Tunisia will begin a period Of
austerity amid rising popular dis

prompted the government Of Pres

Astronomical Budget

What will be spectacular in the
coming year is the amount Of
money TO be programmed for
space. The National Aeronautics
and Space Administration plans to
Justify before Congress a fiscal
"a budget Of something like SIS
billion. There seems little doubt
that substantially this sum will
be approved. Despite some express
sions Of unhappiness by influen-
tial legislators, there Is not much
evidence Of incipient rebellion
against big space spending this
year.
But II is clearly apparent as
1862 ends that the $40 billion fig
ure banded about as probable cost
Of President Kennedy's moon pro-
gram is inadequate. Manned space
flight In the years ahead will cost
three-fourths or more OF the
whole NASA appropriation, and
these appropriations are certain TO
top an annual 81 billion before
they level off late in the decade.

Continuity. President Kennedy, in
