FAR EAST

Indonesia excludes rubber from strategic list.,
The Indonesian delegate to the UN has told
25X1 A US delegate Gross thit the list of strategic
materials which the Indonesian Government
considers subject to the UN embargo on
Communist China omits rubber. The Indonesian delegate offered three
explanations: 1) Indonesian public opinion`blames the recent fall of
rubber prices on. the UN embargo;) the government fears that Commu-
nist and leftist pressure could cause tfe cabinet to fall on the embargo

issue; and 3) Indonesia has a trade pattern under which no rubber
is being or has been exported to Communist China. In reply, the
US delegate emphasized to the Indonesian representative the strong
adverse public reaction which would develop in the US over Indo-
nesian omission of rubber and suggested that the Indonesian Government
supplement its strategic list with a statement that Indonesia is adhering
to its historic ti de pattern under which no rubber is shipped to Commu-
nist China.
Comment:
pendent" foreign policy and as evidenced by its abstention during the
UN voting on the embargo, Indonesia has been most reluctant to support
the embargo on strategic materials to Communist China. Although
forced to support it by a majority decision of UN members, the Indo-
nesian Government undoubtedly desired to reemphasize its neutral
position by omitting rubber from the strategic list. Despite the
Indonesian delegate's contention that the cabinet might fall on the
embiatgo issue, a firm government stand could easily override
parliamentary opposition.
EASTERN EUROPE
3. Mass evacuations from Rumania-Yugoslav border axpa reported:
25X1A
Several independent sources have informed
the US Legation in Bucharest that during the
past few days wholesale evacuations of
families have been taking place in the Banat
regon;of western Rumania, adjoining the Yugoslav and Hungarian
borders. Trucks in Bucharest were recently commandeered and
ordered to the border area , presumably to assist in the evacu-
ations. Reports vary as tojdestination of the evacuees, but train-
loads of them hare been seen passing through Bucharest. US couriers
en route to Bucharest also report seeing two trainloads of evacuees at

Arad, near the Hungarian border.
Comment: Since the area of reported evacu-
$qi joins. Yugoslavia, it is probable that the Rumanian Government
is attempting to lessen the possibility of mass defections to Yugo-
slavia similar tot verse rer pnt y Occurring in Bulgaria. The
inhabiuts? of the Banat region may be particulate?velnerable to Yugo-
slav subversion, since theyinblude a large Serbian minority (estimated
at 45, 000 as of December 1940). This evacuation could also
facilitate the concealment of any military activity along the Yugoslav
border.
