THIS IS UNEVALUATED INFORMATION
1. Ectremists and arm d gangs in Jakarta and other oitios in Java are cowed by
the Tent-era *asiona1 Indonesia (TITI). According to one active in the black
.market, two weeks ago there was an average of six daytime robberies a day
in Dove. Town Jakarta. Since the TNI took over there has not been a single
robbery. So far TNI troops have proved to be well disciplined and business-
like.
2e Communists in Jakarta still appear not. to be sufficiently organized or to
have funds enough to cause trouble on a large scale. Their aotivities are
confined to setting up local labor unions and instigating minor strikes.
To date no non-Communist labor federation has shown enough interest in
Jakarta labor to curb Communist development in this field,
3. The slight evidence of enthusia_nis for PfAO Tse-tung in certain Chinese circles
two months ago is less evident today. There were almost no Chinese Communist
flags flown in Chinese quarters during the holidays. Several Chinese Nat'
ionalist flags were displayed, Most of the Chinese are afraid to take a
positive stand in this matter until the attitude of the Republik Indonesia
Serikat (RIS) on the subject is olarified. If the RIS is anti-VAO-Tse-tune
the Chinese in Indonesia will adopt this attitudes Now almost all of the
local born Chinese are claiming Indonesian citizenships
4,. Enthusiasm among extremists for the Darul Islam In the Jakarta area seems to
have diminished somewhat since the TNI took over.
5. s an interest in New Guinea is noticeably less than it was two weeks
25X1C ago Hany Eurasian houses in Batavia and Buitenzorg are now flying only
the ndonesian flag.
