Indonesia: Both Sukarno and the army now seem
to feel that the course of the present economic crisis
may determine the outcome of the political struggle be-
tween them.

The President has apparently closeted a large
number of cabinet ministers at a mountain villa outside
of Djakarta and demanded that they quickly agree on
measures to alleviate some of the country's pressing
economic problems, in particular, galloping inflation.
Rumors are rife in Djakarta that these measures will
include drastic currency devaluation.
The army now apparently plans to allow Sukarno
a free hand in this area. Defense Minister Nasution
evidently hopes to saddle the President with the blame
for any further deterioration in the situation or for un-
popular corrective measures
A crowd yesterday stormed the Communist Chi-
nese Consulate in Medan, North Sumatra, in the latest
in a series of anti-Chinese demonstrations. Several
people were killed when police fired on the demonstra-
tors.
As in previous riots, the crowds in Medan were
probably motivated as much by racial antipathies as
by political considerations. However, the Chinese
community in Indonesia has been thoroughly frightened
by the army's anti-PKI campaign, which some Indo-
nesians have apparently interpreted as a license to
attack the relatively well-off Chinese living in their
midst.
present circumstance.
The local Chinese have apparently asked the Com-
munist Chinese Embassy for support and protection,
but Peking's response to these requests has been re-
stricted to denunciations of Indonesian mob actions.
The arrival yesterday of the first Chinese ship to reach
Indonesia under a shipping agreement signed last July
appears to indicate that Peking hopes to limit damage to
Sino-Indonesian relations as much as possible under the

Guatemala:
In a televised speech on the evening of 8 De-
cember, Peralta reassured the Guatemalan people
that his regime is capable of maintaining public order
and demanded: that terrorists who have; engaged.in kid-
napings and other forms of extortion cease their
activities. If he fails to follow the speech with ef-
fective measures against the terrorists, however,
he may lessen public confidence still further.
The terrorists struck again on the day of
Peralta's television appearance. They killed
three farmers in Zacapa and in Guatemala City
shot the mayor of a village in the guerrilla-infested
Department of Izabal. On 9 December the third
victim in a series of kidnap plots was released in
return for $75,000 ransom.
