2. Communist China
3. Indonesia
In a speech on 5 April, Sukarno
announced that Indonesia is "now enter-
ing the period of building Socialism."
The US Embassy comments that this speech
probably foreshadows the early promul-
gation of important changes in economic
policy, including greater restrictions
of private enterprise and increased so-
cial controls.
Defense Minister General Nasution,
a staunch anti-Communist who is no longer
in favor with Sukarno, has advised Ambas-
sador Bunker not to expect any improve-
ment in US-Indonesian relations. He ad-
vised withdrawal of US "targets"--person-
nel and programs--from Indonesia.

4. Berlin
5. Communist Bloc
Pakistan
The West Germans have announced that
the upper house of the Bonn parliament--
the Bundesrat--will not hold its 30 April
session in West Berlin, There is some
sentiment for holding such a session
later on, but it seems doubtful that this
will actually come to pass.
The USSR appears to be winding up
its 1965 grain purchasing program after
buying 3.3 million tons at a cost of
about $200 million. This compares with
the nearly 12 million tons the Soviets
bought following the bad 1963 harvest.
Peiping has ordered almost four
million tons to date, but is expected
to remain active in the market and
match last year's record total of 6.5
million tons.
President Ayub, who is currently on
an official visit to Moscow, says the
Soviets are "attacking" him about his
friendship with the US. When Ambassador
Kohler expressed the hope Ayub was not
denying this friendship, he replied
"certainly not."
