"AFRICA; LANDI ARICA; ASIA REVOLUTION"

SECRET

haports received irom a numberror sources make it clear

that "Africa,

Luiin America, Asia Revolution" has been in difriculties

for several montho wid it appears that the last issue was No. Il dated

March 1904.

The trouble began; apparently, then the French authorities

seizod copios of issue No. 7 of the French edition,

"Revolution", dated

March 1964 because of an article it contained on French overseas

territories.

Creditors becane alamiod, fearing that the publication

might be banned, and demanded settlenent of their debts which

wEre

then

estimated to exceed £10,000.

Jacquos VERGES, the publication's

Director, tried to effect ñamuttstretave con omies

with the situation but, according to VERGES, Richard FIRSON, the

Editor, argued

that the. Chinese should be asked to pay the debts.

Matters worsened when, again according to VORGES, GIBSON persuaded.

Lausanne printer to mite to Poking and ask the Chinese to scttle

publication's debt to him. VERGES regarded GIBSON's activities as

deliberately dismiptive and designed to produce proof of China's

support for the publication.

Also, VORGES complained that GIBSON was working for

Communist splinter aroups in Europe to the detriment of the

international Communist novement,

and that he was dealing tactlessly

with the magazine's agents and contributors.

The situation was such.

VERGES visited the j.k

in mid-july to disouss the position vith

BABU, a member of the

Bditorial Board.

BABU; who is now Minister of

State for Develoyment Planning of the United

Republic of Tanganyika

and Zanzibar, was in: London for the Commonwealth Prime Ministers'.

Conference.

In July 1954

there were minours that the Inglish edition

had gone bankrupt but these were denied by GIBSON who suggested that

the English and Fronon editiong should be made quite separate, and that

the former should be punlished in London. At about this time the split

between VERGES and GIBSON became complete and the latter was removed

from his position as Editor and from the Editorial Board, which issued

the following "waming";-

"Comrades from New York, London and Accra (Ghana)

have raised up grave changes against Richard GIBSON.

These charges have been confirmed and underlined by

Richard GIBSON's present disuptive activities.

Revolution's Editorial Board has decided to dismiss

Richard OT RSON

fron all his responsibilities and expell

him from the Editorial Board.

"From nor on, Richard GIBSON's activities con not.

GIBSON also

seemed determined to carry on and it has been reported that
