USSR: Premier Kosygin indicated to the British
that Moscow is not interested in negotiating an agree-
ment on mutual force reductions in Europe at this
time J
According to a Soviet Embassy official in London,
this was the import of the position taken by Kosygin
when the question was raised by the British during
their recent talks. Kosygin told Prime Minister Wil-
son that settlement of Germany's frontiers must pre-
cede "agreed troop withdrawals." The diplomat at-
tributed this new Soviet precondition to pressures
within the USSR and from Hanoi against any step which
might facilitate a further US buildup in Vietnam, using
American forces now in Europe. He added that Mos-
cow was not worried about inevitable Chinese charges
of Soviet-US collusion, but that Hanoi's position was
important)
[The Russians know that settlement of the con-
tentious issue of the Oder-Neisse boundary is unac-
ceptable to the West as a prerequisite to negotiated
reductions. They clearly adopted the position in order
to cut off discussion when the subject was raised by
the British. There was no discussion of the possi-
bility of unilateral withdrawals
LKosygin's cool response may also have stemmed
from Moscow's belief that the West soon is going to
reduce forces in West Germany anyway, obviating
any need for the Soviets to be forthcoming on the ques-
tion ..1\

Indonesia: General Suharto's statements yester-
day appear intended to prepare the public for con-
gressional action against Sukarno early next month.
Suharto's broadcast to the nation called for the
acceptance of constitutional processes and obedience
to "all decisions which will be taken" by Congress,
Indonesia's highest state institution.
In a separate address to officers of the four
armed services, Suharto stated that Sukarno's trans-
fer of executive power was a "factor in paving the
way toward the over-all settlement of the conflict"
during the forthcoming congressional session. This
formulation and the considerable pressures for Su-
karno's complete political demise point to action by
Congress.
This action may not go beyond removing Sukarno
from the presidency. Suharto, in his speech to the
officers, added that the congressional guideline
should be "justice" both for Sukarno and for those
who confront him. Sukarno apparently agreed to go
along with the present scenario in return for a promise
to limit the action against him. His behavior in the
next few weeks may determine whether Congress
takes the final step of demandin his trial for involve-
ment in the 1965 coup attempt.

NOTE
Argentina: ) Leaders of the larger of Argentina's
two railroad workers' unions plan to go ahead with a
strike and demonstrations today despite a government
ban on such activity. The Ongania regime withdrew
the union's legal status on 22 February and probably
will deal firmly with any demonstrators. The Gen-
eral Confederation of Labor, which called off sched-
uled street demonstrations earlier this week in the
face of government pressure, may be reluctant to
support the railroad workers at this timer
