The Indonesia Situation
xa o ., As 5f 6:0 M . EDT)
1. The situation remains relatively calm throughout
most of Indonesia. President Sukarno has rejected suggestions
of firm measures against leaders of the ""30 September Movement"
and the PKI. He told the army generals.to "leave the
political settlement to me."-, Sukarno has always maintained
his. own power by balancing competing forces and is apparently
now seeking a restoration., of the status quo which existed
prior to the coup.
2. In Sukarno's two,' very: brief pre-recorded speeches on
2 and 3 October, however, it was not clear whether Sukarno was
speaking with complete freedom or note The statements were
terse and-the tone was one of anger. US.Ambassador Green: re-
ports,.that the speeches."make Sukarno, sound. like a man in
trouble."" The question seems to be whether Sukarto's forces
will move against the PKI despite whatever moves and statements 25X1
Sukarno may make in attempting to stop them.
Some such action is apparently 25X1
in the preparation stage and the army has already taken over
control of the PKI press facilities in Djakarta,
