down and production Of some
items is down, too.
The government has tried to
preserve its foreign exchange by
charging a 200 per cent import
tax on certain items such as au-
tomobiles. It allows most goods
to come into the country only
under license.
The government has the an
nounced goal Of putting all i'm
port business in the hands Of
Indonesians. So it is extremely
difficult for a foreigner to get
an import license. Chinese mer-
chants have to buy the licenses
from Indonesians, who some
times get the license through
personal connections with gov
ernment officials.
Czech Trade Pacts
Some Indonesians who get i'm
port licenses are expected to
contribute to the political par
ties represented in the govern
ment.
In a step to preserve foreign ex-
change, the government had made
trade agreements with Eastern
Europe, particularly Czechoslo-
vakia. Sometimes import licenses
are granted only If the dealer
agrees to buy from Czechoslo-
vakia.
This is justifiable on grounds
of preserving hard currency and
fulfilling trade agreements, but
it also increases Indonesia's trade
ties with the Communist bloc.
Nevertheless, the West Is still
Indonesia's best customer-a fact
which does not seem to have
much political influence.
One-third of all Indonesia's ex-
ports go to the United States
alone. The United States takes
one-third of Indonesia's rubber
and one-fourth of its tin ore,
which has been smelted in the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion's controversial plant in
Texas. The rest of most other
strategic materials go to Holland
or other anti-Communist coun-
tries. Very little gets behind the
Iron Curtain.
Indonesia's economic problems
problems that have vast poll
tical signif1cance-can not be
solved simply, but one obvious
aid would be a welcome mat for
foreign capital.
Foreign investors. however,
consider the "merdeka" minded
government so hostile that they
dare not come here. Theoreti-
cally, the opportunities are un-
limited.
Few Hotel Rooms
For instance, the hotel situa-
tion in Djakarta probably is
tighter than in any other i'm
portant capital in the world. It
is almost impossible for you to
get a satisfactory hotel room in
Djakarta unless you have gov
ernment backing. This should
be a dream situation for some
one to build a hotel.
The Hilton chain did investi-
gate, but decided to steer clear
of the country. Similar expert
ences are reported in other busi-
nesses. Some foreign-owned
factories claim they aren't al
lowed to import goods needed to
keep the plants going.
Oil exploration is slowing
down, rubber growing is static,
and mining development has
barely scratched the surface of
this ore-rich island nation.
But the government is willing
to let these riches lie undevel-

BY JAMES E. ROPER
star stan CORRESPONDENT

DJAKARTA, Indonesia.-
Super-nationalism is helping to
put Indonesia in the economic as
we'll as the political Red.
When Indonesians rebelled
against Dutch colonialism in
1945, they cried "merdeka"-the
Indonesian word for freedom.
They cried it again when they
got their final independence in
1949.
Ever since then, they have in
sisted that this meant economic
as we'll as political freedom, come
what may.
Just as the Indonesians are
turning left-perhaps to get as
far as possible from Western
colonialism-they have pressed
their campaign of economic
"merdeka" recklessly fast in or
der to escape the influence Of
Western capital.
Today the standard of living
is down, foreign trade is difficult
and the country suffers from
lack of foreign investment or
large-scale foreign economic aid.
Foreigners Pull Out
Since Indonesia got its in
dependence, the trend has been
for foreigners-moStly Dutch
to take their investments out
of Indonesia instead of putting
them in.
The Djakarta government is
eager to see the Dutch go. The
government has done little. If
anything, to attract other for
eign investments or even foreign
aid that could help bail out the
nation.
The United States has had
an aid agreement with Indonesia
since 1850. Total American ex.
penditures here in five years
have been a comparatively pid-
ding $50 million-entirely on
Point Four type projects.
Under appropriate circum-
stances. the United States
probably would dump real
money into an economic de-
velopment' program here. But
the Indonesian government as
now constituted does not want
such aid or does not dare ask
for it because of domestic po-
litical considerations.
Communists who support"
the government but reserve the
right to criticize it have ham,
mered at Djakarta's failure to
increase or even maintain the
standard of living among work.
ing men.
One reliable estimate is ths@
wages today are 16 times as high
as they were in 1888. But they
needed to increase 80 times for
the employe to maintain his
standard of living. Parliament
authorized a pay increase for
government workers, but the
government doesn't have the
cash to pay it.
A typical government employe
gets his housing plus a monthly
cash income of about 600
rupiahs-worth about $50 at the
official rate of exchange and
about $40 at the black market
rate of exchange.
Thrived on War
This three-to-one spread be-
tween the legal and black mar
ket rates is the largest in any
important currency. It illus
trates the unrealistic nature of
at least one of Indonesia's eco
nomic restrictions.

lens are not Indonesias fault.

with the independent colleges and

the Jesuit educator declared:
"If this same practice we're per-
mitted to prevail in business and
industry our free enterprise form
of democracy would soon cease to
exist"
Father Steiner pointed out that
while 81 per cent of Michigan's
college and university students
are enrolled in public institutions
and only 18 per cent in private
institutions, the ratio of the nation
is SAB per cent to 45.7 per cent.
