I enclose a little item taken from Antara which may be not without interest as a possible indication of things to come. 2e You will see from it that some agitation is being worked up over the dismissal of harbour workers on Timor Island which is being taken as an opportunity to mount a campaign against the Bupati (District Head). This is, of course, a standard Communist ploy as a preliminary to replecing unsympathetic officials in key administrative posts with creatures of their own, I am afraid, however, that I cannot say for certain whether Baltasar Kodi is a Communist or not but it looks as though he is their agent. 3. The estimeble Baltasar appears from the report to be functioning on Floris Island also whipping up discontent among labourers against their employerse he The possible significance of all this is that according to my information, the Third Deputy Prime Minister, Chaerul Saleh, bases his hopes for future supremacyg and, indeed, continued survival in the present, on the strength of his support in the outlying sreas of Indonesiag By the same token, where he feels strong the Communist Party have so far been considered weak with its concentration more on Javea and Sumatra and paying less attention to the outer islenis. It is possible that this report is 4 straw in the wind indicating that the PKI is beginning to pay more attention to this aspect of its affairs. 5e I am sending a copy of this letter with enclosure to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.

NUSATENGGARA Mass dismissal DJAKARTA, JAN. 15 (ANTARA) A mass dismissal of harbour workers took place at Atapupu, East Nusatenggera, Timor island. Some 200 harbour workers were dismissed by the Bupati/district head of North Central Timor, Beretalo, without giving heed to "mus jawarah" (consultations) as suggested by labour leaders at the place. The dismissal of the 200 harbour workers renders the other family members of the labourers, totalling about 2,000, in difficulty, The mass dismissal was said to have been caused by oppression and pressure borne upon the workers by labourers-phpbia groups in East Nusatenggara,. Chairman of the General Workers' Union at Endeh, Baltasar Kodi, further said that the Bupati of North Central Timor is known by the local population as "radja besar" (great king). The dismissal was carried out without paying attention to suggestions supplied by the Labour Service at Kupang. Kodi described the mass dismissal as being out of place in the present revolutionary atmosphere, which does not want any labour-phobia &roupSe o_P._Timor As a result of unemployment, the 200 harbour workers went to Portuguese Timor to find a job. Forty of them were later arrested by euthorities in Portuguese Timor, The fate of those arrested is hitherto unknow,. Kodi has been given the authority to report on the mass dismissal to the Department of Labour Affairs in Djakarte. On his way to the capital Kodi had talks with harbour workers at Waingapu and Bima, These workers stand firm by their fellow workers of Atapupu. Employers cunning labour unions Meanwhile Kodi further disdosed that oppression against labourers is also being conducted at Endeh, Floris island, Labourers in this island are subjected to unjust treatment by their employers. Labour unions ere run by employers who try to safeguard their vested interests. Progressive workers were banned from entering labour unions, speaker said. The pressure borne on labourers in East Nusatenggara prompts workers to promote and intensify their just struggle for better condition. If necessary these workers will struggle wntil they die on the spot, Kodi asserted. === [PDF page 5] === 1965 (Security Grading—to be Up-graded where Appropriate) SOUTH-EAST ASIA DEPARTMENT INDONESIA FROM Sui A 4 Lehust PYakeo i No. zal Dated ts f/ Received Sacer, /a (Outward Action) | SUBJECT: 0%, she acnoia. of; The PA hat apduwed chet the AA olathe arta AWW frkace F peice Encloses Copy of: References and Relevant Papers: (Printing Instructions) (Referred to Legal Adviser) (Action | completed) t aA a we My NA MINUTES ; pLehms E by ahead (4 Magne. ay Joe did = 9 === [PDF page 6] === CONFIDENTIAL FROM DJAKARTA TO FOREIGN OFFICE ee Wh cstene FO/CRO/WHI, DISTRIBUTION Sir A, Gilchrist Ne, 326 D. 1050 11 February, 1965 ~ "45 105 li February, 1965 R, 1240 11 February, 1965 betvorl/s Addressed te Fereign Office telegram Neo 26 of 11 February, Repeated fer infermation te:- Singapere Kuala Lumpur and Saving te:- Washingten Manila Tekye Bangkek Tandjeng Prolik, the harbeur ef Djakarta, is beceming cluttered with ships trying te lead and unlead in face of chaetic conditions, eperatienal and labeur, 2.

Prescription strongly reflects experience in early stages of Mao's own revolution, viz: - (a) praise for Aidit's "creative application" of Marxism/Leninism in light of Indonesia's circumstances (PKI has successfuly "Indonesianized" Marxism/Leninism); (b) importance of "United Front" tactics in struggle against external enemy, in this case imperialist-created Malaysia; PKI is "shock brigade"; it can rely on China's support; (c) need for close links with the masses and seeking popular support; (d) call to the PKI to "enhance its fighting capacity" (perhaps an echo of Aidit's constant please for arming the peasants and Mao's own concept of Red Army bases). 25 May 2.

(53) The CCP and th Peking telegram No. 694 of 25 May draws our attention to a message of 20 May from Mao Tse-Tung to the FKI Central Committee. 2% While the message itself, as Peking suggests, contains some interesting points, one should not perhaps regard it as a strikingly unusual piece of work. The fact that the message is sent from Mao personally is indeed a departure from precedent; normally messages of greeting to fraternal parties on anniversaries are sent from the four leading members of the CCP Central Committee and not just from Mao alone. It may, as Peking suggests, be that this is a benediction from the Pope of Far Eastern Communism; it may equally well reflect a slight embarrassment on the part of the Chinese leaders, who might be afraid that they would offend President Sukarno if a message had gone to the PKI from the four usual signatories of the CCP in such messages. These include Liu Shao-ch'i, Chou En-lai and Chu Teh, all of whom are State as well as Party leaders in China. Mao, on the other hand, is a Party leader and has no State posts of any importance whatsoever, 5, Peking telegram No.694 has picked out the main points of interest of Mao's message; the most striking of these is perhaps the assertion that the PKI has "Indonesianised Marxism-Leninism withest outstanding success". But there is little else of ony outstanding interest in this message; the emphasis on “united front" tactics is a perfectly natural one, given the present position of the PKI in the political set-up of Indonesia, and I would prefer to suspend judgement of{ the phrase "enhance its fighting capacity" (paragraph 1(a) of Peking telegram No. 694) until I have seen the original Chinese version of the word translated here as "fighting". My guess is that they used the word normally translated as "struggle"; this need have no military significance whatsoever. 17 D.K. Timms) - May 1° 965 L useld Go ol wath Plc e., ga S ae Pon wlan hve.

Perhaps like Castro he will in due course discover that he has been a Communist all the time. Paragraph 4 of Djakarta telegram No. 1109 suggests that he may be concocting a new philosophical essai whic will enable him to bridge the gap to orthodox Marxism. 2 There are other indications that Sukarno is beginning to regret the action he has taken in recent months to curb the power of groups who were his former supporters. And whereas the PKI were previously dependent on Sukarno as much s& he was on them, the PKI no longer need his support to the extent that they previously did. All in all, I would suppose that Sukarno is not at all happy with Mao's greeting. Significantly, Mao has addressed his message not to his opposite number, Aidit, but to the PKI Central Committee as a whole. Peking may possibly consider that Aidit is rather too "Indonesian" and rather too anxious to keep his lines open to Moscow, for their pleasure. On the other hand, there are some poisonous individuals like Sudisman and Lukman who will draw strength from Mao's message. Furthermore, a personal message from Mao to Aidit would undoubtedly have irritated Sukarno. Chovleu- (D. Tonkin) 28 May, 1965 Ps cee.

The tasks of a revolutionary political party are not confined to organizational and political activities only but include the fields of econony, culture,art, education and science. 2e Accerding to Aidit the Indorig@sian Commnist Party was trying to heighten the standard of popular culture and to improve the sanitary condition of the people by large scale campaigns in rural commmnities.

A congress was called on the 27 April of fishermen's organisations from all over Indonesia. It decided to establish the Barisin Nelajan Indonesia (Indonesian Fishermen's Front) to unite all fishermen in the country. At the same time it adopted a resolution for the supply of arms to fishermen and workers “in a bid to crush Malaysia". Another resolution called for “the democratisation of fishery cooperatives", whatever that may mean. [Unreadable] Penne on The Congress, as we might expect, was addressed by D.N. Aidit, who told it that it had an important meaning in the history of the Indonesian people since up till then fishermen had belonged to a group to which minor attention had been paid by political parties. Aidit hoped that the fishermen would be successful in fighting “powerful but evil bosses among Indonesian fishermen who refuse to carry out the laws on production sharing for fishermen". die The other speaker reported at the Congress was the Minister of Justice, Astrawinata, who told the fishermen that they could force those in charge of implementing the laws of production sharing to accomplish their duties ina proper manner, and that judges would render full assistance in this connection. ue Finally, as a footnote in the PKI spreading tentacles department, Antara of 3 May carried a report of a meeting of KOMPERDA (Indonesian Peace Committee) which saw fit to take the opportunity of National Education Day on 2 May to suggest that this day should be made a starting point for the dissemination of Marxism at schools and state and higher education institutes. KOMPERDA complained that Marxism was still regarded “as an evil thing in most schools and higher learning institutes." According to the report, KOMPERDA hinted at the existence of schools and higher education institutes which still closed their doors to the “MANIPOL (Political Mandate), DEKOK (Economic Declaration) and other revolutionary teachings of Bung Karno”. KOMPERDA also called for firm measures against such schools and institutes at the same time purging them from elements of the banned MANIK&BU, BPS and Murba. 5.

This revolutionary situation must be grasped and understood properly by all those who want to continue to held aloft the banners of the revolution.

The Trotskyites don the cloak of Marxism to attack Marxism, they raise revolutionary and "left" slogans to oppose the revolutionary movement, so that they can within limits win over the politicallyuneducated masses of the people. The trotskyites are not forces of the left, nor are they midcie-of-the-roaders; they are an -right force that is cons s) ist and anti- Nasakom, Hencé, it is out of the question to build unity with Nesakon as the axis unless action is taken against the trotskyites, as President Sukarno and the Indonesian Government have done. The revolutionary offensive against the bureaucrat capitalist must be stepned up. The features of the bureaucrat capitalists are as follows: (1) they misuse the state power in their hands in order to underiazine and manipulate state wealth for tneir own enrichnent and for } que, by means of creating and reinforcing their economic basis and striving lseize pover througt uracy wi rotskyites and the imperialists, in order to become a counter~revolutionary economic dynasty ofbareaucrat capitalists; (2) they hyprocritically’pretend to accept the Nanipol, the Economic Declaration (Dekon), the Tavip ("Year of Skirting Danger") speech and Bung Karno's teas chingsin general but in practice they deviate from the rails of State policy and Bung Karno's teachinss, and they even go to the extent of raising the slogan of "Sukarnoism" in an attempt to murder Sukarno and Bung Karnots téachings; tee | {2)_ they are 23.356 (123) === [PDF page 47] === [Unreadable] (3) they are against the party system, anti-Nasakon, anti-Communist, anti the workers and y2asants as the mainstay of the revolution because they fear tie upsurging revolutionary hass movement; (4+) they take anti-dgmocratic measures, reject open manageuent, evade social control,and social participation and: curb the rights and democratic freedoms of the working people, in particular the workers and the peasants..

This is arealistic, democratic and eheap way because the government has never had to defray any costs for the election of village heads, from former times right up to the present day. International situation Speaking about the international situation, Aidit dealt with the revolutionary situation in the core of the new emerging forces, that is to say, in Asia, Africa and Latin America which is. developing very satisfactorily. The new emerging forces are becoming ever tore powerful in thei? confrontation in all fields with the old established forces that are headed by the US inperialists, they are advancing from one victory to another, greater than the last. ‘He clearly analysed the-questions:of South Victnam, Cambodia, Japan, the Philippines,-Thailand, ialaya, North Kalinantan,Congo, the Arab countries, Cuba, the question of Indonesia's withdrawal from the UNO, the international conferences against imperialism and the international Communist moveiient.

President Sukarno duly spoke at the 45th anniversary rally of the Indonesian Communist Party (P.K.I.) on 23 May. Referring to the forthcoming.ifro-Asian Conference at Algiers he said:- “ifro-Asian nations which are pro-Malaysian would do better not to take part in the forthcoming conference. Pro-lMalaysien Afro-Asian nations should be excluded from the true ifro-;sian revolutionary group which is anti-imperialistic". Earlier Sukarno had said that it would be better to have "a small yet compact body with a high quality than a large and noncompact body of low quality", 2. Speaking of CONEFO (the Indoncsian-sponsored Conference of New Emerging Forces) Sukarno said that it strove after the formation of an international N:ASOKOM (the theory whereby Indonesia is supposed to be ruled og a Coalition of nationalist, religious and communist groups). Explaining why he used the phrase NiSOKOM rather than N.SOMARX Sukarno said that “Communism was less liable to abuse than Marxism", He had chosen it "for two reasons; to prevent the presence of false Marxists and to fight Communist phobia among the Indonesian people", 3. & message from Mao Tse Tung to the Indonesian Communist Party Central Comittee encourages them to persevere towards "the final goel a completely independent, democratic, prosperous and advanced Indonesia”, The suggestion that Indonesia is not yet fully independent is perhaps worth pointing out to other recently sovereign states which China has not yet"liberated", 4.

You will have seen our telegram about the President's speech. It was notable for the fulsomeness of Sukarno's praise of Aidit ("Indonesia's fortress") and of the PKI as a leading revolutionary element. Sukarno made a point of being photographed arm in arm with Aidit, and in his speech he deplored the existence of “Communist phobia” in the nationalist and religious sections of NASAKOM and in the armed forces. For his part, Aidit's speech made before the President's was notable for the skilful way in which he continually referred to Sukarno, quoting Sukarno's earlier statements in support of the PKI and its role in the Indonesian revolution; he fed Sukarno with material and he must have been very happy at the way Sukarno took up many of his references. He thanked Sukarno for promising that “if it is needed the workers and peasants will be given arms", although I think this may be taken as Sukarno's way of refusing in fact to give them. An indication that for all his outward chumminess the President still has his reservations on the PKI emerges from Sukarno's speech to leaders of the Indonesian National Front on the 25th May. According to Antara he admonished them strongly to come down among the people who could not be moved from behind the desk as a revolution could not be led by civil servants. Antara said the President is obviously dissatisfied with the work of the National Front leadership in the past. He likened himself to the prophets in recalling how both he and they had travelled from village to village to spread their teachings to the people. Sukarno then said how much he admired the organisational efficiency of the PKI as demonstrated during their U5th anniversary celebrations, with special reference to how the party had mobilised and assigned the people to attend the rally at the Stadium on 24 May. This seems to me to be Sukarno's way of saying for heaven's sake don't leave all the running to these Communist characters. Why can't you lot take a leaf out of their book and do the same? He hopes that Presidential approval may inspire the National Front who, if properly mobilised, could be a bigger force than the PKI, and create some worthwhile alternative balancing force. / 2.

You will have seen a number of references to action against foreign military bases. Sukarno proposes to hold in Indonesia, by the end of the year at the latest, an international conference against foreign military bases, According to him Indonesia suffered from the Necolim military bases in South East Asia and Australia. From these bases actions of subversion and intervention were launched, as well as being used to support the Necolim project of Malaysia. Such bases are regarded as a symbol of colonialism and as a gun at the “breasts of nations fighting for independence”. In a written message to the First Congress of the Indonesian National Naval Junior Officers Association (IP-PNI) on 19 May, Sukarno referred to the revolution which Necolim wanted to encircle with its fleet, and urged the sailors to increase their power of resistance and skill to break the encirclement of the Necolim fleet. 5. Finally, four items in brief which may be of interest: (a) The Minister for Internal Affairs, Dr. W. Prodjodikora, said in an address to the National Committee for Consultations that in settling disputes between peasants and landowners, judges must definitely help the peasant to win his case. If the judge only listend passively there was a great possibility that the landowner would win. In which case the rié@h would get richer and the poor get poorer. This instruction had been issued to all Government agencies concerned, /(b) According === [PDF page 57] === CONFIDENTIAL According +, Sians visited Hong Kong 5 pared to 712 in the same period Hong Kong in March alone. The PKI section in Bogor was very hurt when members of Moslem Students Association yelled "Crush the atheist and a anti-God group". They said in a letter of protest, we do not feel to belong to the atheist group but we oe ned eels that the yells were directed to the Indonesian Communists." It does not seem to have done much good because a week later on 9 May “similar yellings were also uttered". (d) An item in Antara dated 24 May accuses the British of their age-old policy of “divide et impera” in North Kalimantan who by this underhand method had created suspicion and hatred among the population. Vice and vandalism often occur on the roads and market places between the Malays that work in Brunei and the population of Brunei. According to the article the population of Brunei felt they were deprived of good jobs by police, teachers and others sent from Kuala Lumpur under an agreement between the Sultan of Brunei and the British Resident signed in 1959. Clashes between the population of Sarawak and Brunei = occurred as a result of British policy, and had grown worse since the two “local governments" imposed severe immigratien regulations against each other. a copy of this letter to Kuala Lumpur, Singapore Boe === [PDF page 58] === ALT DDD AMTONG CHLEBRATIONS Albanis easaiteani Ve UioCovuuU Lupu === [PDF page 59] === 1965 Co oS akasla /22/7 Dated 7 fume Received 7 flume (Outward Action) (Printing Instructions) (Referred to Legal Adviser) (Action completed) (Main Indexed) SA A\ J (Security Grading—to be Up-graded a8 where Appropriate) SOUTH-EAST ASIA DEPARTMENT INDONESIA D HM 1016 on Encloses Copy of: SUBJECT: L oo t i Oo Teva sae /earanfe Gr Tani) Pe tac (Makes | References and Relevant Papers: MINUTES did RD distor: whellur la Que ete frou F_ pranan erg uteat ions eau. se 4 " Approved pores ° S Sutec more Rrau trot ee lwWree Cassuming ) belong ba PRESS RD (be aoe a Le a ttre thud og Ped AER ay "To Aru Aw: “Tar ww SEAD { === [PDF page 60] === 29 FROM DJAKARTA TO FOREIGN OFFICE En Clair EPARTMENTAL DISTRIBUTION Sir A,Gilchrist | Re 122 D. 1405 7 June, 1965...

This somewhat surprising moderation was presumably in deference to the Rumanian leaders' request that foreign delegates should avoid contentious issues not strictly relevant to the occasion. On the subject of Malaysia and alleged "imperialist aggression" in the Far East, Aidit was less restrained. ° I am sending a copy of this letter with enclosure to orthern Department and to the Chancery at Djakarta. Pee 2 aw South East Asia Department, Foreign Office, S.W.1.: Ai 4 CONFIDENTIAL === [PDF page 74] === Speech by Dipa Nusantara Aidit, Head of the Delegation of the Communist Party of Indonesia to the Rumanian Party Congress, on 22 July, 1965. After conveying warm greetings and congratulations to the Rumanian people and the Rumanian Communists on the occasion of the IXth Congress of the Rumanian Communist Party, Aidit said: "The Rumanian people, under the guidance of the Rumanian Communist Party, waged a heroic struggle against exploitation, and against the savagery of the capitalists and monarcho-fascists who collaborated with Hiterite fascism. The collapse of the monarcho+ fascist régime and the laying of the foundations of the people's democratic system as a form of transition to socialism, marked @ crowning of this heroic struggle of the Rumanian people. The Indonesian Communists have learned a lot from the experience of the heroic struggle of the Rumanian people. We have studied and drawn inspiration from the revolutionary struggle of the working class and people of Rumania who have enriched the treasure of experience of the international communist movement. Under the leadership of the Rumanian Communist Party, the Rumanian people have won successes in socialist construction of which they can be proud. The Indonesian communists pay their homage and express the highest appreciation for these successes and wish the Rumanian people fresh success in the consolidation of socialist Rumania. We are convinced that the revolutionary traditions of the Rumanian people, led by the Rumanian Communist Party that has aptly resumed this name at this congress, will continue to inspire your struggle for the unity of the international communist movement and for the creative application of Marxism-Leninisn, against contemporary revisionism and dogmatism, in compliance with the revolutionary principles of the Moscow Declarations of the 81 Communist and Workers' Parties in 1957 and 1960. There is no loftier task for every Communist, for every Party than that of honouring, of carrying forward and developing the revolutionary traditions of the fight of the people and of the party. We assess highly the standpoint of your party which upholds the princples of independence and equality of rights in relations between Communist and Workers' Parties. The Rumanian visit of the President of Indonesia, as well as the visit of the President of Rumania to Indonesia have further strengthened the fraternal relations between the Indonesian and Rumanian peoples, The mutual visits of delegations of our fraternal parties, such as the visit of the fraternal delegation of your Party on the 45th anniversary of the foundation of the Communist Party of Indonesia, have contributed to the further strengthening of the warm friendship between the Indonesian and Rumanian peoples. /The === [PDF page 75] === The economic and cultural relations, as well as the relations in the technical and scientific domains between Indonesia and Rumania are constantly developing in the interests, and to the benefit of, both sides. Although our countries are over 12,000 km away from each other, the Indonesian and Rumanian peoples are close to one another in their feelings. They are fighting shoulder to shoulder against imperialism, colonialism and neo-colonialism, to pave the way for the building of a new world. Under the leadership of President Sukarno, the Indonesian people are waging a consistent fight to secure the convening of the Afro-Asian conference in November 1965, and are making efforts for the convening of CONEFO (the Conference of the Newly-emerging Forces) to be attended by the Socialist states, the anti-imperialist non-Socialist states, and the progressive forces of the capitalist countries. After having emphasised the importance of this conference, Aidit said: The mass organisations and the progressive movements of the capitalist countries and of other countries, will be represented in CONEFO. This signifies 4 considerable increase in the prestige of the progressive movements and of the mass organisations of the respective countries. Likewise, CONEFO would mean a wonderful rostrum for the gathering of anti-imperialist forces from all over the world, both of states and their popular organisations and movements. Closely united nationally within the framework of NASAKOM, which illustrates the cooperation of the political, nationalist, religious, and communist forces in our country, the Indonesian people, with the aid of the socialist countries liberating West Irian, an integral part of the territory of the republic of Indonesia, from the claws of Dutch imperialism. But the imperialists dislike seeing the Indonesian people stepping along the road they themselves have chosen. The imperialists are making efforts to check the tide of the revolutionary movement of the Indonesian people and of the peoples of South East Asia, by setting up the neo—colonialist puppet-state of "Malaysia". The architect of this so-called "Malaysia" is British impsrialisn, with full approval and backing from the United States, the head of world imperialism. The Indonesian people and the peoples in Malaya and North Kalimantan are now engaged in a fierce struggle to erush neo-colonialist "Malaysia". South East Asia is now a central point of the contradictions existing in the world. International imperialism, headed by U.S. imperialism, is attacking the freedom-loving peoples of South East Asia, especially in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Trampling under foot the 1954 agrecments on Indo-China, the U.S. imperialists are barbarously bombing the territory of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, a state of South East Asia, a member of the socialist camp. While intensifying the struggle for confrontation against "Malaysia" the Indonesian people express their full solidarity /vwith === [PDF page 76] === with the peoples of Indo China, especially with the Vietnamese people who are putting up a heroic resistance to the intervention and aggression of the U.S. imperialists. On behalf of the Commanists and working people of Indonesia, Il wish the Congress of your Party full success and fresh victories in the building of socialism, in the fight for the unity of the international communist movement, in the fight against our common enemy - imperialism, colonialism and neo-colonialism - for peace and socialism throughout the world. === [PDF page 77] === 76 (Security Grading—to be Up-graded D Where Appropriate) ees # IGUU FROM Me j oa Ulf (texng) no. 95 Received ay d é (Outward Action) (Referred to Legal Adviser) | (Action completed) Dated @ ~) Auyrl SOUTH-EAST ASIA DEPARTMENT | INDONESIA | D. jolt /ai [Unreadable] Tdouian Commurrt Pot, dellgitin: us cag Pehns, Encloses Copy of: | References and Relevant Papers: MINUTES if 5 PEKIN Fee n1 N orthes er wy Ke ADL.
