Soviet Military Aid to Indonesia
Moscow, in keeping with its past performance in certain
other underdeveloped countries-=such as the UAR, Afghan-
istan, and even Yemen--apparently is willing for political
reasons to provide modern weapons to the Indonesian armed
forces regardless of Indonesian ability to utilize such ma-
teriel
[Since the Soviet Union's extension of a $250,000,000 eco-
nomic credit to Indonesia during Khrushchev's visit to Dja-
karta last February, Moscow has engaged in a program with
far-reaching political implications to ensure Soviet participa-
tion in Indonesia's economic and military development. It has
effectively capitalized on the Indonesian President's sensitiv-
ity to what he considers US hostility to himself. The Soviet
Union probably hopes that this approach, combined with its
economic aid and well over in military assist= 25X1
ance since February 1960, wiII strengthen Sukarno's resolve
to bring members of the Indonesian Communist party into his
cabinet
[Previously the anti-Communist posture of Army Chief of
Staff General Nasution and the Indonesian Army had fore-
stalled Sukarno's -intentions in this regard. However, on Su-
karno's orders, General Nasution led the Indonesian mission
to Moscow in January which resulted in the army's acceptance
for the first time of a substantial amount of bloc military equip-
.ment. Moscow may feel that Nasution's acceptance of this ma-
teriel will undercut his opposition to President Sukarno's plans.
In addition, Soviet 25X1
officials also impresse Nasution with their support of Indo-
nesia's intention to recover West New Guinea
(Since the conclusion of the January arms agreement, Mos-
cow radio has launched a steady propaganda barrage in support
of Indonesia's position on Guinea. Subandrio told the US ambas-
sador in Djakarta that accommodation with the bloc "had been
unavoidable" since no alternative was available. to the Soviet of-
fer of political support on the question of New Guinea. Moscow
probably hopes that Soviet assurances of continued full diplo-
matic support for Djakarta in the New Guinea campaign will
strengthen the Communist party in Indonesia in its efforts to ex-
pand its role throughout all levels of the government 25X1

Ithe polit-
ical situation in Portugal was very bad and that drastic
changes were needed in its African policy.
the military, while able to handle disorders of the kind that
took at least 31 lives in Angola over the previous week end,
could not solve the African problem by repression or cope
with a general uprising. Portugal must
henceforth give satisfaction to "valid complaints" from over-
seas on the part of both Portuguese and Africans.
Dissatisfaction among the armed forces with Salazar's
policies is further reflected in an 8 February statement to
the US consul in Oporto by an who had pre-
dicted Salazar's fall six weeks before the abortive coup of
March 1959 that "a military movement" against the premier
had been expected last week.
such a move was being "freely"
discussed at a military base near Lisbon, and said it might
take place in the next few weeks, However, the US Embassy
in Lisbon reports its service attaches have received .no im-
pression of an early attempt at a coup from contacts in the
upper level of defense officials and among the middle and
junior ranks of the armed forces, where it believes such a
move would be most likely to originate.
On 6 February three leaders of a group which had signed
a letter calling on President Thomaz to grant Portugal a gov-
ernment willing to restore the fundamental liberties, told
Thomaz personally,
that if he wanted to rally Portuguese popular support in the
face of a deteriorating domestic situation and threats to the
overseas provinces, he would have to dismiss Salazar and
bring some of the opposition into the government. Similar
views reportedly have long been held b junior and even some
high-ranking military officers.
