Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - June 11, 1962, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free press 11. 1962 Sukarno began War to hide failures now added the several Hundred by Dennis Bloodworth Singapore president Sukarno has just seven months in which to keep his Oft repeated Promise that dutch West new Guinea will become part of Indonesia by the end of this year and to his other persuasive arguments for a prompt Transfer of sovereignty by Holland he has Knuckleduster regular indonesian paratroopers have been landed in the dutch dependency to wage guerrilla War against its defenders. And win a firm base for future operations. West As the indonesians Call it is a Savage unproductive land mainly inhabited by primitive papuans which costs the Hague million a year to run. Nothing seems More tragically ludicrous to the Western Pragman lists than that the Young Republic which has so far failed i when or. Sukarno declared in Donesia Independent in 1945, he was the undisputed National Leader of loosely related. Peoples whose sprawling archipelago of islands normally produced More than one third of the world s rubber and one fifth of its tin and Palm Oil. Indonesia was the Sec Ond most important source of copra Rich in Petroleum and numerous Industrial crops and nearly self sufficient in Rice. An Independent Federal Republic retaining close links with hol land wide open to foreign invest ment and Western Industrial knowhow Indonesia could quickly have become the envy of nations enjoying even greater Prosperity than the federation Malaya but or. Sukarno had other ideas. By 1950 Ted states of Indonesia had be come a unitary Republic with a Central government by 1957 this government had wii1wi1 Hocij of u ser ably to feed and clothe broken away from the dutch in own millions adequately should done Sian Union forced All dutch squander its energies and Money on fighting for an even More backward and impoverished chunk of Southeast Asia. Banners but indonesians Are not West Ern pragmatists. President Sukarno who knows his countrymen better than anybody has consistently preached that tattered ban ners Are finer than buttered bread and he is still worship Ped by millions today As the Savior of the nation. Nationals to leave the country and appropriated All dutch assets and enterprises. Communism meanwhile inspired by the uninhibited authority wielded by communist leaders he had met in Russia and China in 1956, or. Sukarno set about destroying parliamentary democracy in indo Nesia. By 1961 he had reintroduced the original revolution Ary of. 1945. Which allowed him personally to head a hecklers still trying but the Art is dying certainly the Wisecrack and pointed question from the Audi ence have been undistinguished in the current election Campaign. In fact some of the hecklers have been so inept that they have fed straight lines to the politicians who have swooped on them like a cat on a mouse. For instance in Victoria when prime minister Diefenbaker was discussing the Bill of rights an alleged heckler shouted what about the in or. Pearson dismissed Heck Ling in Edmonton one i ight with at the United nations i have been heckled by or. Vish in secy so i m not going to be affected like that heckling was practically Dor Mant in this Campaign until the late trips West of or. Diefenbaker and or. Pearson.

Diefenbaker fairly rubbed his hands in glee. Had t he Given the indians the had t he appointed an Indian to the Senate red faced the heckler subsided and was not heard from again. No wonder or.

Sukarno still had to hold the balance Between the Strong and popular communist party and the anti communist Leader ship of the army on both of depended. But demo cratic opposition was dead. All Power were coh Centra Teil in his own hands. These changes were not with out their consequences. In 1957 Sumatra and celebes rebelled against the Hegemony of Djakarta and for four years cent state was shaken by Dis Unity civil and the almost loss of. Much Revenue normally from these Rich dutch was followed by. Output efficiency arid National earnings and inter Island communications were disrupted through the escape of the vessels of the dutch owned shipping line. At the same foreign investors were effectively scared away. Red Aid in Indonesia today the Emp Hasl is on socialism state Enterprise. Suspicious of West Ern or. Sukarno has turned More and More to the Ujj quiet bloc for Aid but Al though Russia has been generous in granting Long term Loans these have largely been spent on unproductive purchases ranging from warships and Jet fighters to the new stadium for the asian games in Djakarta. Lit the towns Rice costs four times As much As it did last sep tember and Djakarta will have to import Well Over one million tons during 1962. The Black mar Ket rate of the rupiah fluctuates but is sometimes ten tunes the official rate. Prices have doubled since january 1961. The note is sue has increased 25 per cent in the past 18 months. Tin production fallen by 30 per cent in the same period and output of certain other principal exports by even More. The dutch never intended to leave the archipelago and even after the first Short lived Federal state of Indonesia was they tried to perpetuate their presence through autonomous governments in the outer islands. To or. Sukarno the very existence of Indonesia As a nation depended on his binding the scattered and disparate Geo Leader Pearson and t. C. Douglas Leader of the new democratic party Are old hands at Fielding interjections from the audience. But they Haven t been really tested in this Campaign. Imagine or. Pearson being fed As he was in Winnipeg the question when he said a government headed by him would eliminate Cli Ronic unemployment. By electing a Liberal government pledged to put into effect the Liberal or. Pearson a Defini Tive test of wit for him or any other politician Worth his Salt. Political audiences comprise mainly supporters of the plat form speaker so that the eral gang. Or. Pearson the same old gang that did such wonderful things for Canada from 1945 to 1957. This is that same party which ushered Canada into a in Victoria one megaphone voiced heckler gave or. Diefenbaker his hardest time. When the prime minister said socialism had driven persons from Saskatchewan the heckler shouted you re still and he went on with you be got to go John and you be had it until or. Diefenbaker snapped you with the hoarse voice you ought to take some horse Medicine. Speaker does t have to produce when or. Diefenbaker said Brilliant repartee to raise loud j he had been interrupted by Only cheers. Any old gag often will do. Or. Diefenbaker has relied sometimes on two or three Standard replies for hecklers such As you be earned your that s the usual percent age of Liberal supporters or that s the kind of interruption one heard before Man acquired constipated m _ herbal laxative soc Urie family size three or four persons another heckler Cut in with and com Mon the prime minister has encountered More. Heckling than any of the other leaders. He has also run into two demonstrations at Vancouver and Chelmsford ont. In which wisecracks if any were drowned out in the general Din. Perhaps the most novel interruption of this or any other Campaign was the self disrobing by five women members of the sons of Freedom Dou Hobor sect at Trail b.c., while or. Diefenbaker was in mid speech. Or. Diefenbaker said that s no Novelty to me and i was raised on a Homestead in Saskatchewan and that s Why know what those things from the Canadian around up car Mon Oil gasoline fuel oils suspiciously adhesive dutch from its skin. Or. Sukarno knew that since most indonesians were born into simple undemanding Kampong existence in which Money hardly played a role the country had a natural economic resilience. He Felt instinctively that after Cen Turies of colonial Rule its Salva Tion demanded not a flow of con Sumer goods nor even Industrial development but political Unity and a sense of identity. Divisions parliamentary democracy How Ever Only seemed to encourage fragmentation. The indonesian people were already divided by ethnic differences by the seas Between their and by the existence of three philosophical streams islamic communist and nationalist. But when parliamentary elections were held in 1955 no fewer than 169 political parties entered the Field and 28 of these won seats. None was Strong enough to Cabin ets succeeded each other every few months political corruption and robbery threatened to destroy the state. President Sukarno therefore introduced totalitarian Rule and planned Economy and since he believed that the whole concept of a Sovereign and efficient indo Nesia depended on the develop ment of a vigorous nationalism he invented indonesian social ism a distinctive system based on a native tradition of Mutual co operation in Lages fascist semantics which equated opposition with treason a Touchy jealous xenophobia and a muzzled press. All indonesians must pull1 to Gether if they Are not to be Pul led apart. But they must be Given a revolutionary objective and that objective today is the re covery of dutch held West irian. Or Sukarno s formula for nation building May be the right one. When he Speaks hundreds of thousands acclaim him.
