Philippines - Malaysia-Indonesia: The Philippine
Government apparently is taking a more independent
position in the Malaysia dispute.
Manila's decision to establish consular relations
with Malaysia was conveyed in a note of 9 March.
Domestic criticism of President Ma.capagal's pro-
Indonesia. policy has been growing in recent weeks
Land Ma.capagal himself is showingfconcern over In-
donesia's continued belligerence
Indonesia has not reacted publicly to the Philip-
pine move. Sukarno may have acquiesced to it during
Macapagal's state visit to Indonesia last month. a-
capagal claims that during this visit he told Sukarno
that if no settlement were in sight he would make his
separate peace with Malaysian Prime Minister Rahmanj
Indonesia meanwhile has announced its intention
to recognize the rebel Azahari government of "the
North Borneo Unitary State," without specifying when.
Sukarno also announced this week that, as a result
of the deadlock in the ministerial talks with Malaysia 25X1
and the Philippines, Indonesia must employ new
tactic 'n a "revolutionary offensive" against Malay-
sia.

Cambodia: Sihanouk's latest attacks on the US
suggest -that he may seek closer accommodation
with the Communist bloc, although his intentions
remain unclear.
*A mob attack against US and UK buildings in
Phnom Penh last night apparently was made with
the Cambodian government's approval.
Well organized demonstrators ransacked the
first floor of the US Embassy and burned out the
USIS library before Cambodian police belatedly
acted to restore order. Apart from punctuating
Sihanouk's recent outbursts against the US, the
demonstration indicates that Sihanouk may be
planning a rupture in diplomatic relations.
In a speech on 9 March, Sihanouk charged that
recent US proposals are aimed at obstructing an in-
ternational guarantee of Cambodia's neutrality and
borders. He threatened to negotiate frontier agree-
ments with the Pathet Lao and North Vietnam, "the
forces of the future," rather than "Phourni Nosavan's
Laos" or South Vietnam.
Sihanouk has said on other occasions that he
would recognize North Vietnam and conclude a mil-
itary pact with Communist China unless his demands
for international guarantees were met.
bors on Cambodian territory.
Sihanouk's verbal assault apparently was held
off until he had been further irritated by Laotian Pre-
mier Souvanna Phournals refusal, during the latter's
visit last week, to recognize f ormally Cambodia's
present boundaries. Sihanouk has long been sensi-
tive to what he regards as the designs of his neigh-

*Dominican Republic: Key armed forces leaders
seem prepared to support civilian initiatives to
strengthen the regime.

The military chiefs are said to favor ousting
those cabinet ministers who represent the two par-
ties currently in the government. These changes
would be aimed at ending the parties' use of official
positions and funds for partisan political advantage.
There is also growing dissatisfaction in military
circles with two members of the ruling triumvirate.
Many officers believe that Ramon Tapir. Espinal and
Manuel Tavares Espaillat are subject to undue polit-
ical influence from outside the regime. This may
eventually lead the armed forces to back an effort
to remove them, leaving the more forceful president
of the triumvirate, Donald Reid Cabral, as the sole
head of government.
In what seems to be an unrelated development,
military leaders apparently are ready to support the
return of ex-President Joaquin Balaguer to campaign
25X1 for the presidency in the election tentatively set for
next year,
