Een stroom van geruchten rond de Soekarno-affaire (A flood of rumours about the Sukarno affair)

[Unreadable] Dat is een onderdeel van de pogingen van de communisten om weer politieke macht te verwerven, aldus deze officier, wiens opmerkingen afgedrukt werden door een dagblad van het leger. Niemand in Indonesië weet nu wat de affaire-Soekarno precies inhoudt, maar algemeen wordt aangenomen dat deze zaak allerlei gevolgen zal hebben. Het is in Indonesië niet ongebruikelijk om geruchten te gebruiken om politieke tegenstanders uit te schakelen. Het is niet uitgesloten dat dit nu ook zal gaan gebeuren.

That is part of the attempts of the communists to regain political power, according to this officer, whose remarks were printed by a newspaper of the army. No one in Indonesia now knows what exactly the Soekarno affair involves, but it is generally assumed that this affair will have all kinds of consequences. It is not unusual in Indonesia to use rumours to eliminate political opponents. It is not excluded that this will now happen too.
