Page 4 The USSR moved rapidly last week to remove its strategic missiles from Cuba as quickly as possible. Moscow's aim is to undercut US pressure for UN verification and to enable Khrushchev to claim that he has fulfilled his commitments to President Kennedy. When the removal process is completed Khrushchev probably will call on the President to respond by issuing a formal guarantee against an invasion of Cuba. Events of the past week suggest that the Soviet bloc leaders were deeply shaken by the vigorous US actions in the crisis and that Khrushchev is acutely aware that his backdown has made him vulnerable to renewed attacks by the Chinese Communists and other opponents in the Communist movement. In a series of moves designed to counter this threat to his position and to guard against open disarray in the Soviet camp, Khrushchev conferred individually with East European leaders and staged a demonstration of solid support for his actions, including public endorsements by Marshal Malinovsky, Voroshilov, and satellite leaders. On the foreign policy front, Khrushchev abandoned his earlier plan to come to the UN and to meet with President Kennedy this month. He apparently envisages a period of consolidation while he assesses the effects of the Cuban crisis on the USSR's world position and studies the future course of US policy.\ \ THE SINO—INDIAN BORDER CONFLICT . . . . . . . . . . . . .
