FAR EAST

1. Indonesian President seeks US support on New Guinea question:
During a conversation between President
Sukarno and the US Ambassador to Indonesia,
the former expressed a hope for American
support on the New Guinea issue. Sukarno ex-
plained that if the pending Dutch--Indonesian conference fails to solvethe New
Guinea question he anticipates a unilateral denunciation of the Union by Indo-
nesia; he said he could not predict "to what level the sentiments of the popu-
lace might rise. "
The US Ambassador observes that should
Indonesia resort to unilateral action and incur the ill will of the western
world, a "strong reciprocal reaction might be expected" from Indonesia.
Such a reaction could involve the loss of Indonesia as a link in the eventual
Pacific security chain, and the loss to the United States of Indonesia's
genuine and growing friendship.
Comment: Netherlands- Indonesian discussions
on the disposition of New Guinea are expected to end in an impasse. In such
an event, leftist and nationalist elements in Indonesia will press for abrogation
of the Union and otherDutch-Indonesian agreements, which would create
serious economic problems for both Indonesia and the Netherlands.
NEAR EAST - AFRICA

2. New British restrictions increase Egyptian animosity:
The new series of restrictions imposed by
British military authorities in the Suez Canal
area have again resulted in a reduction in
Egypt's oil supplies.

The US Ambassador in Cairo warns that, while
he appreciates the current difficulties of the British which have led to im-
position of these restrictions, Egyptian animosity toward the British "has
risen to such a white heat that a real explosion seems inevitable. "

? Comment-. Though West Germany will probably
be willing to enter the European Defense Community without being a member
of NATO, it will probably expect membership after a relatively short time.
