Indonesia: The anti-Sukarno campaign has ac-
celerated, but definitive action against the President
still seems some weeks away.
Demands for "action against the old order" are
being made with increasing directness by high offi-
cials. Foreign Minister Malik has publicly repeated
his suggestion that Sukarno resign. Even General
Suharto has twice stated in the past week that those
who do not acknowledge their errors will face action.
In addition, Sukarno 'S probable involvement in
the attempted coup of October 1965 is being further
publicized. Student and political party protest ranges
from demands that the President be investigated to
calls for his execution.
Suharto remains committed to the use of legal
means against Sukarno. The attorney general an-
nounced on 23 January that he would soon submit to
Suharto his dossier on Sukarno's involvement in the
events of October 1965. Suharto in turn will pass
relevant information to the congress for action when
it convenes in March or April.
The US Embassy in Djakarta believes that Sukarno
may be allowed to remain a figurehead after signing
his power away. It estimates that even his complete
�
removal probably would no longer provoke dangerous
politico-military repercussions, although there might
be isolated disturbances in East and Central Java.
