FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1960 against the Congo struggle Warning against any new imperialist aggression against the Congo, either by overt sup- port of Belgium colonialism, or for their own special interests, Soviet Chairman Nikita Khru- shchev, in reply to an appeal for aid by President Joseph Kasavubu, and Prime Minister Patrice Lamumba of the new Congo Republic, declared ear- lier: “The demand of the Soviet Union is simple: hands off the Congo Republic.” The.
