In reply to the question

as to current conditions

in Moscow,

Dragoic

made some genéral statements.

that the Muscovites were greatly aroused by the Mid-East

crisis, however; added that the Soviet Union definitely does

not want a war.

He said he heard that when the American fleet

within the area were many Soviet submarines who were present

to challenge any undesireable, steps taken by the United States.

Dragoic said it was the leeling that all action in

the Mid-East was under the direction of the Central Intelligence

Agency (CIA) •:

He related there is suspicion that all of the

Jewish businessmen who travel the world, businesswise, are

contacts of the CIA and report their impressions to that agency.

Dragoic said that alter the visit of the Soviet

Minister to Egypt, the Soviets dispatched many military

instructors to Egypt.

Koca popovic, former

Yugoslay Vice-President and

presently a ranking Yugoslav official, traveled to Egypt

to conier with Egyptian president Nasser.

It was the concensus

that the Arabs were surprised that the war terminaied as

quickly as it did; however, when the Egyptians recuperate,

they will again become active:

Concerning the question as to whether the Israeli

victory was a set back for the Soviets, it was felt that

because of this crisis and Soviet commitment to the Arabs,

they now have a green light to openly support the Arab nations.

Further, the Soviets are in a better position to display some

control

over the Mediterranean Sea and the Suez Canal Area

since when the American fieet departed the area, the Soviet

fleet moved into a better position. U

Dragoic replied that they did not take any positive action,

but reflected support to the Arabs because they felt that

the Arabs were victims of an aggressive Israel, which is

a branch of Wall Street; and secondly that they did not want

allowing the United Nations to find the solution to this

Mid-East problem.

He said that the action taken by Nasser

was primarly to protect all of the Egyptian interests.

said that Israel is altempting to enslave the Arabs and that

if Israel does not return territory confiscated during this

conflict, there waxy

exist a constant war between the Arabs

and the Israelis

Dragoic said the Israelis were fortunate to have

conquered the Arabs with such rapidity since crack-armed

Algerian forces were on their way to lend support to the

Arabs. He said the Syrians were considered to be poor soldiers

Dragoic repea-ed that the CIA worked for the Israelis:

since the Israeli forcesknew all of the positions of Arab

troops and equipment at the

Dragoic said the Soviets leel that their greatest

enemy is Red China.

He said the Soviets are prepared for

any conflict with China although they are taking all measures

of precaution so as not to initiate any aggression.

He said

not fight, but would merely

surround the USSR with manpower.
