Russia Slow to Aid Red China
By Phil Newsom UPI Foreign News Analyst
Red China's irritation with the Soviet Union now is reported to have extended from the political field to the economic.
The two have been openly at odds over interpretation of Communist doctrine since the Communist "Summit" meeting in Moscow last fall.
That was the meeting at which Nikita Khrushchev's "co-existence" theme won out over Red China's demands for a hard line against the West, and reports from behind the Iron Curtain insist that time has not healed the breach despite profuse demonstrations of friendship between the two.
NOW THE CHINESE are reported irritated because of Soviet failure to offer more aid to help them overcome near-famine conditions brought on by last summer's severe drought.
There is no sign that Russia is helping to foot the high dollar bill for Peiping's vast grain purchases in the capitalist West. Nor is there any sign that Russia is sending any more supplies to Red China beyond those agreed upon under mutual trade arrangements.
Red China has placed orders abroad for more than two million tons of wheat, chiefly from Australia

--and Canada. Grain orders also have been placed with France and negotiations are under way to buy 150,000 tons of corn from Argentina.
ALL THESE PUT a severe strain on Peiping's limited dollar and sterling reserves.
Coupled with these difficulties is the fact that Red China is continuing the struggle to hold on to her allies in the ideological struggle with the Soviet Union and to win new friends, notably in Africa.

Regardless of hunger at home, she is helping some of the African nations and Albania financially and economically.
She also will try to meet barter commitments calling for shipment of large amounts of rice to Ceylon and Cuba.

HHRUSHCHEV CANNOT entirely ignore the demands of his biggest ally, and this is believed to account for some of the recent zigs and zags in Soviet foreign policy.
The hardened Russian stand on
Laos is believed, at least in part, to be the result of Chinese pressure.
Peiping has insisted from the start on a tough, no-compromise line on embattled Laos, and Moscow, step by step, is seen nearing the Peiping position.
Similarly, the Chinese appear to be trying to force Khrushchev's hand in the Congo.
WITHOUT WAITING for Moscow, Peiping formally recognized the pro-Lumumba regime of Antoine Gizenga in Stanleyville and followed it up within 24 hours with an exchange of ambassadors.
Diplomatic speculation is that the pressure from Peiping is forcing Khrushchev to demonstrate a harder line to prove to the Chinese that peaceful co-existence is not identical with appeasement of the capitalistic West.
