is now in Formoso.
tory, now set for September II.
On that date, the voters elect a
parliament through system of
proportional representation.
The elected parliament will
succeed an assembly which was
appointed. In various forms, the
appointed assembly has ruled
Indonesia since this island ma
ton received its independence
from the Netherlands in l949.
An unusual coalition of Mos
lens, Catholics and Protestants
are asking the voters to throw
the government out. A key COM
plant is that the government has
been cooperating too closely
with communism.
Leading the campaign against
the government is the Moslems'
Masjumi Party. 1t stacks up as
the most powerful in Indonesia.
80 Per Cent MOslem
Ninety per cent of the people
of Indonesia are Moslems. Many
especially in the rural areas
are influenced heavily by their
religious leaders.
Backing up the Moslem cam
paign are the Partial Katolik
Republik (Roman Catholic) and
the Partial Keristen Indonesian
Dutch Reformed).
A fanatical Moslem group has
been making terroristic attacks
in isolated areas. demanding that
Communist influence on the gov
ernment end. Masjumi Party
leaders will neither accept nor
disclaim the support of these
terroristic killers.
The opposition group looks
powerful when compared with
the governments political forces.
But you cannot weigh their
chances without considering the
Intangible influence of Presi-
dent Soerkano, the real leader
of 1ndonesia today.
To Indonesians he is the per-
sonification of their independ-
ence movement. Soerkano's
campaigns against the Dutch
colonists landed him in prison
as early as the 1930s. He was
behind bars when Japan occu-
pied Indonesia during World
War II.
The japanese released him
and in 1914 made him chairman
of a committee studying inde-
pendence for Indonesia. AS
soon as Japan surrendered Soer-
kano proclaimed Indonesia was
an independent country. Then
he led the fighting against the
Dutch until true independence
was granted in 1949.
Soerkano founded the Ma
tionalist Party. This group still
supports Soerkano but acknowl-
edges Prime Minister Ali Sas-
troamidjojo as its leader.
The Soerkano-Sastroamidjojo
team is an effective personal
combination. They gained
tremendous domestic prestige by
pulling off the recent Asian
African conference at Bandung
Reds Hold Veto
Despite Soerkano's strong per-
sonal following. he and the Ma
tionalist Party lead the govern
ment only because they have
won the support of a wide
variety of splinter groups in
Guiding the Communists operat-
ing under the initials P. K. l.,
Tor Partial Kommunist Indone-
sian. The Reds, although not
members of the government.
have a virtual veto over what
the government does.
The scheduled elections-if
they are held, and if they are
held fairly-could do much to
