INTERPRETIVE REPoRT-
Malaysia Crisis Isn't Over

Singapore on August 8 issued a
statement which began:
Gen. A. H. Nasution, who
toured the West Kalimantan
(Indonesian Borneo) recently
declared in Pontianak that the
Malaysia project must be frus-
trated either by force or by
peaceful means" 1t quoted him
as saying that though we love
peace, we cannot sacrifice the
principle Of anti-colonialism.
At no stage since he told a
high Washington official last
January that he wanted to in
wade the British Borneo terri
tories has Gen. Nasution de-
waited from his policy of I'M
compromising hostility towards
Malaysia. In this, he has been
a willing and cooperative bed
fellow Of the Indonesian Com
munist Party.
In principle anti Communist
and anti Chinese, he has armed
and trained a considerable
force Of Chinese Communist
youths from Sarawak for the
explicit purpose Of creating a
state Of insurgency and over
throwing the post-Malaysian
government in Sarawak.
Nor is his activity confined
to Sarawak. Azahari, the Bru-
nei rebel leader, has had his
representatives in Jakarta since
the quickly crushed revolt last
December, and several hundred
of his followers are still being
trained in Indonesian camps

peaceful and pro-Malaysia Of

lead an Grant regime into
the paths of common sense,
especially where sacrifices
are involved, are not con-
spicuous in his nature.
One is by now driven to
conclude that the Wet Nam
war cannot be won this side
of a fundamentally different
government-people relation
ship than exists at present.
But the dilemma Is so pain
full use such tight,
closed-circle regimes as that
Of Mr.. Diem are all but in
capable of serious social re-
forms, to say nothing of
providing a new theme and
spirit that would make the
people fight - and, because
no promising alternative re-
CINE seems to be present for
the making.
Those nice Americans min
listers and others who now
demand that we refuse to
deal with the existing Wet
Nam regime or who think
Washington, our financial
institutions and our military
establishment can deal d.
rectly with the people" are
terribly innocent and Of no
help. Any such grotesquerie
would almost surely produce
anarchy or an anti-Ameri-
can stance by at least part
of Mr.. Diem's armed forces,
and in either situation the
war would be lost.
There simply are no easy
answers. The current signers
Of petitions and letters-to-
the-editors have failed to
absorb one Of the prominent
lessons Of recent history;
that the capacity Of one gov
eminent. even a friendly and
powerful government, to
alter the domestic policies
and ethos Of an alien gov
eminent, short Of using force.
is extremely limited. Latin
America and Africa are
Uttered with the evidence Of
this.
I can see no alternative to
the present American policy
Of the carrot and the stick
in Wet Nam, this side Of
confronting the awful and
always latent alternatives Of
withdrawal and defeat or full
scale intervention.

In Sarawak, incidents on tina
border in which shots were ex-
changed ran to about 20. After
Malaysia Day the number is ex-
pected to increase rapidly.
1t comes as a surprise to the
visitor in Jakarta to find that
no one makes any secret Of
these intentions and activities.
On the contrary, the tendency
among officials is to boast Of
their capacity.
do you seriously believe you
can destroy Malaysia without
using regular Indonesian
forceS?" l asked one official.
He was shocked and panied.
"Of course, we can't use our
regular forces" he said. I'VE

Sarawak, are heavily listed

Kuching, the Sarawak capital.

Indonesian volunteers" much
in the way that Wet Mini
cadres from North Wet Nam
have stiffened the Pathet Lao
forces in Laos.
i All this has been a brutal
shock to Singapore and Malaga.
Officials in Kuala Lumpur, es-
pecially, were sure after the
first meeting in Manila that
they had established complete
Ily friendly relations with the
Indonesians. They could
scarcely credit the resumption
of the conformation policy and
evidence from the Borneo jun
giles of true Indonesian inten-
tons.

Rights March Called Day of Disgrace
For Its Effect on American Image
DAVID LAWRENCE

The March on Washing
ton" will go down in history
as marking a day Of public
Disgrace step backward in
the evolution of the Ameri-
can system of government.
For the image Of the United
States presented to the world
is that Of a republic which
had professed to believe in
voluntarism rather than CO.
ercion, but which on August
20. 1868, permitted itself to
be portrayed as unable to
legislate equal rights for its
citizens except under the
intimidating influence Of
mass demonstrations.
The press, television and
radio, the public forums in
halls and stadiums-all have
been available heretofore as
mediums through which the
fright Of petition" could be
effectively expressed and
public opinion formed on
controversial questions. But
a minority group-led by men
who drew to their side church
leaders and groups as well as
civic organizations-decided
that q massive publicity
stunt would be q better way
to impress Congress and the
President with the idea that
unemployment and racial dis
elimination can be legislated
out of existence.
Government by mob has on
O few occasions in the past
darkened the pages Of Ameri-
can history. A. Philip Ran
dolph, the leader Of the
march this week, frankly
characterized the march as a
symbol Of revolution. He said:
I'm our pluralistic demo-
cratic society. causes must
gain acceptance and approval
and support. They can only
gain acceptance, approval
and support If they can get
attention, and in order to get
attention with numerous
causes seeking the focus Of
public opinion-it is neces-
sary for the dramatization to
be developed Of a given
cause :"
Mr.. Randolph, h o ever,
was not content with trying
to mobilize American public
opinion. He told an audi
ence at the National Press
Club on Monday that the

march on Washington would
bring into world focus" the
struggle Of peoples of color in
America "for first-class citi-
zenship." He added:
"It will have the value Of
giving the peoples of the
world some concept of this
problem. =. 1t will serve to
bring world pressure upon the
United States of America to
step up the struggle to wipe
out race bias, because in the
cold warm the conflict Of
the free world with the
totalitarian world - the free
world is seeking the alliance
of the Afro-Asian world. And
in order that the free world
may win the alliance of the
Afro Asian world, the free
world must show that we are
not only making promises to
Africa and promises to Asia
to help them advance their
cause, but we are going to
keep our promises, fulfill our
promises with our own citi-
zens at home-especially Ne
groes of African descent.
africa will not trust the
United States in it's promise
to the peoples of Africa I'M
less they realize and under
stand that the Negroes here
in America are giving and
evincing basic trust in the
promises that have been made
by our own country to them.
And so, the March on WASH
ington' is an expression, a
great step forward of the
conformation between the
civil-rights revolution and
our American society"

Department and the Voice
Of America, instead, have
dealt comprehenSively abroad

being made inside the United

been better If the leaders
Of the march had not by their
tactics incurred some I'M
favorable publicity? What

heavy week, full of exciting

things-like riding on a mo-
torcycle on q wire IS feet
above the ground, training
wild tigers and shooting real
bullets around q live target.
They also do funny things
like dancing with seals and
producing beer out Of moth
