Germany- The Ulbricht regime has banned entry
to East Germany and transit to West Berlin by members
of the extremist National Democratic Party or people
"engaged in neo-Nazi activities."
The decree of itself poses no significant new threat
to West German civilian access to Berlin. The East
Germans have long controlled West German access to
the city. The decree merely establishes another issue
which could be used to interfere with such traffic.
Allied access is not affected.
A statement accompanying the decree suggests
that it may represent in part a stronger reminder by
Pankow to Eastern Europe, with Moscow's approval,
that Bonn continues to pursue "revanchist and militaris-
tic"' policies and is not. to be trusted. The East Germans
may hope that their action will make it more difficult
for Eastern European states to deal with Bonn.
Pankow probably hopes to embarrass Bonn, now
faced with the prospect of having to protect extremists
it does not view with favor. The East Germans may also
hope that the decree will cause some dissension within
the Bonn coalition. They are aware that some coali-
tion members have called for a ban on this particular
extremist party.

Nonproliferation Treaty: The draft treaty will be
sent to the UN on 15 March despite several countries'
dissatisfaction. with it.
Amendments adopted in recent weeks at Geneva
and the security assurances the US, the UK, and the
USSR have offered to the nonnuclear powers have not
silenced such Leading critics as India, Rumania,
Brazil and West Germany.
A West German memorandum delivered in Geneva
on 8 March asks that a ban on nuclear blackmail be
written into the text and that the treaty be made easier
to review and amend. It also asks that the treaty re-
flect pledges of the nuclear powers to move toward
nuclear disarmament and to accept inspection of their
civilian nuclear plants. The US and the UK have agreed
to accept such inspection, but the USSR has not.
The UN debate on the draft is expected to begin in
late April. Further amendments could be considered
at that time.

NOTES
Indonesia: The government's military leadership
may be forced to compromise when Congress, the
nation's highest policy-making body, convenes on 21
March. It will consider the elevation of Suharto from
acting to full president, the postponement of elections,
and national policy guidelines. Civilian politicians,
already soured by the arbitrary reshuffling of the
legislature last month, were further dismayed by the
recent detention of several political leaders who al-
legedly violated a ban on demonstrations. Suharto seems
assured of being named full president, but the army may
have to reduce its demands for a five-year presidential
term and a five-year Postponement of elections,
I
*Panama: The National Assembly ended a four-
hour session last night without taking a vote to impeach
President Robles. After hearing the investigating com-
mission's recommendation that the charges against the
president be accepted, pro-government deputies re-
quested that all documentary evidence be read into the
record--a delaying tactic that could last for several days.
Although no date was set for the next session, the Assem-
bly may convene again today.
