1. There are about 300 hard-.core Chinese Communists in Palembang, where they have
taken over the Chinese schools and have placed between 45 and 60 China-trained
teachers in the schools. Communist literature and propaganda make up a large
part of the curriculum of these schools.
2. The Communists have been able to take over the Chinese schools by saying the
schools will be supplied much-needed money if they will teach the
Communist program. They have been able: to extract contributions from Chinese
businessmen by saying the Chinese Communist Government would eventually control
Indonesia and those who did not contribute would then be jailed.
