Ira : Prime Minister Qasim's departure from the hos-
pital on 17 November was greeted by a number of laudatory
statements from Radio Baghdad. If demonstrations scheduled
to celebrate his release are held, clashes between Commu-
nists and anti-Communists are likely despite tight security
measures.
Support for the formation of a single political party led
by Qasim is growing. All five army divisional commanders,
three cabinet ministers, and nine provincial governors have
endorsed the idea. The Communist press vigorously opposes
`~ the action, charging that it is a violation of "democratic prin-
ciples." The middle-of-the road National Democrats take the
same line, perhaps because they hope to become Qasim's
chosen instrument. Its sponsors see the move as a device
to limit Communist influence. Qasim has promised the re-
newal of political party activities by 6 January, and although
he has remained silent on the issue, he may feel that a single

Peiping will probably make further representations on be-

three million Chinese in Indonesia will be affected. Indonesian
Foreign Minister Subandrio, after an hour's meeting with the
Chinese ambassador on 17 November, indicated, however, that
both sides want to prevent permanent damage to hitherto friend-
ly relations. Subandrio brought the dispute into the open when
he told a press conference the interests. of .80,000,000 Indone-
sians would not be sacrificed for "a small group of alien peo-
ple:' He added, however, that Indonesia: would carry through
with the resettlement program in areas where it was under way,
but in other areas would reconsider its implementation. Suban-
drio said. that the Chinese ambassador, while asking Djakarta
to prevent more "excesses" in. its implementation ex pressed

II. ASIA-AFRICA
Support For Qasim-Led Single Iraqi Political Party Growing
The campaign for the formation of a single political party
to be led by Prime Minister Qasim continues to gain support
from influential Iraqis. The campaign,, launched by a newspaper
editor close to Qasim? has received the adherence of all five
army divisional commanders, three cabinet ministers., and nine
of Iraq's fourteen provincial governors. These influential sup-
porters, none of whom are connected with any of the present
political parties, probably.view the one-party state as a means
to curb Communist influence,
The Communists vigorously oppose the single-party concept
and charge that it is "undemocratic" and inspired by Nasir's
monolithic National Union.. The official National Democratic
party paper has also taken a stand against the plan, which it de-
clared would not serve "democratic principles;' Qasim, who
has promised the resumption of party activities by 6 January,
may favor the movement as a means of eliminating present po-
litical rivalries. He has not, however, given any overt indica-
tion that he endorses the single-party movement,
Qasim has resurrected the old fertile 'crescent plan,, originally
proposed by Nuri Said in December 1942, which envisions the un-
ion of Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and Palestine. Arab nationalists have
long attacked this plan as "imperialist,' but Qasim has stated that
"now this plan is a national one--Iraq has been liberated." This
scheme would make Baghdad. a center of power in the Middle East
rivaling Cairo.
