4. SITUATION IN INDONESIA
President Sukarno's "extraparliamen-
tary" cax-inet will probably undertake
as its first project the establishment
of a national advisory council, with
Communist participation, in accord-
ance i is .concept of "guided democracy." Another
major point on the cabinet program, as prescribed by
Sukarno, is the restoration of the central government's
authority throughout the islands.
Moslem dissatisfaction with the cabinet
is already evident. Masjumi chairman Natsir has denounced
Sukarno's action as unconstitutional and the party has ex-
pelled the only member who accepted a cabinet post. The
Nahdlatul Ulama (NU)y which has four representatives in
the cabinet, is reported to be divided on the issue of cabi-
net support. This opposition, however, is unlikely to deter
Sukarno and his cabinet will probably operate with reason-
able effectiveness--in Java, at least--as long as it retains
the support of the army. In addition,- Sukarno can. be -ex-
pected to maintain heavy pressure on his opponents9 as is
indicated by the smear campaign now being conducted by
certain Djakarta newspapers against former vice president
Ha1aa.
In Central Sumatra, officials reportedly
have stated that if Sukarno persists in pushing his "personal"
government, ttfey will continue to ignore Djakarta. Regional
army officers are expected to continue their su ort of local
political and economic autonomy.
