JPRS translation of an Indonesian Tribune (Tirana) 1974 report of Radio Tirana interview with Setiati Surasto, leader of the PKI delegation to Albania's 30th liberation anniversary. She describes Indonesia as a US neo-colony under Suharto's 'fascist' regime, cites 28 million unemployed and about 100,000 political prisoners, and sets out the PKI's Three Banners of party-building, people's armed struggle and united front.
