III. THE WEST
Finland: Local Communist agitation against Finland's
joining;.- thie^OEEC or any other Western economic grouping
is becoming increasingly strong. The Finnish Government
suspects this agitation may be Soviet-inspired and is taking
a cautious attitude toward formal membership in the OEEC.
Government officials remain convinced, however, that Fin-
land must eventually be associated with Western economic
projects in some manner if the country is not to lose its
Western markets and drift into the Soviet economic orbit.

Djakarta Apparently Plans Concerted Effort to
rush Dissents
Continuing air attacks by the Indonesian Air Force
on dissident centers in Central Sumatra and North Celebes
are in line with the central government's announced inten-
tion to crush the rebels by all available means. Bombing
targets so far have been transportation and communica-
tion centers, presumably in an effort to isolate rebel areas
as much as possible. Preparations are also apparently under
way for the use.of.air. - and sea-borne troops against rebel
strongholds in Central Sumatra.

Tension Growing Between Morocco and France
Rabat's concern about the situation on the southern
border was demonstrated on 19 February when three
top cabinet ministers flew to the Agadir area to review
the situation. On his return the foreign minister stated
that the situation was extremely sensitive due to col-
laboration of Spanish and French troops in Saharan areas
claimed as part of a greater Morocco by nationalists.
The Spanish foreign minister says that the boundary
problem is the most important for Spain and is willing
to reach a settlement if the southern boundary of Morocco
is guaranteed by the US and other powers.
French embassy officials in Rabat are convinced that
relations with Morocco depend on the course of French-
Tunisian relations, and they have been reluctant to pro-
ceed with any negotiations on outstanding problems in
view of the prevailing popular feeling against France.

Alleged Turkish Military Plotters Exonerated
Eight of the nine Turkish army officers arrested in
early January on charges of conspiring against the govern-
ment have been released, apparently completely exonerated.
One officer is still under arrest for spreading the malicious
information about his fellow officers which led to the wide-
spread military investigation.
The full repercussions from the alleged conspiracy against
the regime of Prime Minister. Menderes are probably not yet
apparent. Suspicion and resentment have..beentsownwidely,
even spreading to the air force and the navy. At least 16 high-
ranking army officers were transferred from western Turkey
on 8 January and several general officers were forced to re-
tire,
Contrary to earlier expectations, the Turkish Government
has made :no move to exploit the incident in an attempt to dis-
credit its political opposition. The initial reaction of the Men-
deres regime suggests great concern, however, over the poten-
tial threat to political stability and the regime's existence. The
regime may now move with greater caution in its economic andpo-
litical programs and will probably attempt to remove some of
the causes of discontent, especially among the military.
