some gesture by Vientiane toward the Communist bloc which
would emphasize Laotian neutrality. According to Laotian
Prime Minister Phouir Hammarskjold specifically mentioned
Laotian acceptance of mediation by Indian indefinite postpone-
ment of the impending trials of pro-Communist leaders, and
willingness to accept economic assistance from all UN members.
British policy makers also continue to believe that nego-
tiations between the Communist bloc and Laos could lead toward
a settlement of the dissident roblem in Laos 25

(Hammarskloldts Plans for Laos
UN Secretary General Hammarskjold's recent talks with
Laotian officials suggest that he still favors some type of
negotiated settlement or at least some gesture by Vientiane
toward the Communist bloc which would emphasize Laotian
neutrality. According to Laotian Prime Minister Phou ,
Hammarskjold would devise an over-all economic develop-
ment plan to be financed by contributions from "any or all
UN members:" Phoui fears that this would involve Laotian
acceptance of economic assistance from the Soviet bloc and
open the country to Communist agents.
Hammarskjold also brought up the question of reactivat-
ing the International Control Commission but, in the face of
continued opposition from Phoui, asked why Laos could not at
least accept mediation by India. The secretary general dwelt
constantly on the impending trials of pro-Communist leaders
and urged the Laotian Government to postpone the trials in-
definitely in order to maintain maximum sympathy of friendly
nations.
British policy makers also continue to incline toward ne-
gotiations between the Communist bloc and Laos as a means
to settlement, despite their desire for Western unity and their
recent rejection of the Soviet proposal for an international con-
ference. Foreign Secretary Lloyd has reiterated in Parlia-
ment his government's desire for a neutral Laos. The govern-
ment's rejection of an international conference may be subjected
to a more searching Labor attack in Parliament.

donesian P i ent Rejects Further Chinese
Communist Protests
President Sukarno underscored Indonesia's firmness in its
recent relations with Peiping when he told the Chinese Commu-
nist ambassador on 20 November that, despite Peiping's objec-
tions, Djakarta will implement its decree banning alien retail-
ers in rural areas. Indonesian Foreign Minister Subandrio, who
described the interview to the American ambassador, said Su-
karno had not given an inch and had been even tougher than he,
Subandrio, had been.
Sukarno told the Chinese ambassador he would listen to no
further objections to the Indonesian ban at this time but would
consider complaints after a lapse of four months. When the am-
bassador accused Sukarno of playing into the handy of Western
imperialists, the President told him he needed no advice on this
subject. He said that Indonesians, when accused by foreigners
of making mistakes, were likely to re-examine their actions
but were capable of "coming back hard" if no fault were found
and the critic persisted.
Sukarno refused to lift restrictions on the movements of
Chinese Embassy personnel but agreed to release a Chinese
consul general placed under house arrest by the Indonesian
Army for obstructing the decree in West Java. Subandrio said.
the government would find a way to ease him out of.the country
without declaring him persona non grata.
nist party activity
The Indonesian Communist party, which has been placed in
an embarrassing position by Peiping's pressure on the Indonesian
Government for repeal of the decree, has charged that the Indo-
nesian Army is responsible for the Sino-Indonesian tension. A
party statement of 21 November accused the West Java army
command of implementing the decree in a manner which opposed
the spirit of the Sino-Indonesian joint communique of early Octo-
ber, issued when Subandrio visited Peiping. This criticism of
the army may provoke further army measures to limit Commu-
