*South Vietnam: A Buddhist "peace offensive,"
calling for an end to foreign intervention in both
North and South Vietnam and an early cease-fire
may be in the making.
In recent days Tri Quang, Tam Chau, and other
Buddhist leaders have issued statements varying in
detail but generally containing the same "peace"
theme. Pamphlets to this effect also have been
circulated, and yesterday another Buddhist peace
meeting was held in Saigon.
Such a Buddhist campaign could gain rapid mo-
mentum among the war-weary population and work
to undercut South Vietnam's effort against the Viet
Cong. This sort of movement is highly vulnerable
to Communist exploitation, and the manifestations
to date probably already reflect their hand to some
extent.

LThe Quat government is concerned over this
threat, and is preparing countermeasures. Premier
Quat, who reportedly has received full cabinet sup-
port on this question, is said to be planning to speak
out strongly against a negotiated settlement under
present conditions. The cabinet has also approved
the firing of some 300 civil servants who signed a
document, dated 16 February, calling on the govern-
ment and the National Liberation Front to end the
fighting and negotiate a settlement)

Indonesia: Moves on several fronts have furthered
the mounting anti-American campaign within Indonesia.
American rubber estates in Sumatra were placed
under Indonesian Government management on 26 Feb-
ruary, and this has now been followed by the "tem-
porary" closure of all USIS libraries in Indonesia.
During the period since last August, three of the five
USIS facilities in the country have been "temporarily"
closed.
Communist domination of the Indonesian press
has also been tightened by a 25 February banning of
eleven Djakarta newspapers which had supported the
anti-Communist and now defunct "Body to Promote
Sukarnoism."
During the past week the US Embassy in Djakarta
has reported a general pattern of accelerating harass-
ments directed against American citizens and firms.
This trend has been encouraged by recent vitriolic
speeches by Sukarno and other Indonesian leaders.
Sukarno has told Ambassador Jones that current
American policy in Asia makes it difficult for him
to halt further anti-American incidents.

NOTES
US R: The Soviet Union has carefully avoided
any description of today's Communist Party meeting
in Moscow which could be exploited by Peiping as
evidence of the Soviet leaders' intent to force an
acrimonious public debate on the basic issues of
the Sino-Soviet dispute. Moscow TASS has referred
to the gathering as a "consultative meeting;' reflect-
ing the USSR's apparent desire to represent the Com-
munist Party talks as the first of a series of regular
-consultations on ways to strengthen bloc solidarity.
LTASS' official listing of the parties attending omits
reference the Chinese Communist, Albanian,
Japanese, Indonesian, North Korean, North Viet-
namese," .umanian4 and British' parties,.

Japan - Communist China: Japanese Prime
Minister Sato is expected soon to reverse his posi-
tion and approve government financing of the sale
of a second vinylon plant and a 12,000-ton freighter
to Communist China. Since his decision in January,
Sato has been under increasing pressure from the
Ministry of International Trade and Industry and
Japanese business interests, which believe the gov-
ernment should play a more active role in promoting
trade with Communist China by granting long-term
government financing of plant sales. To preserve
its relations with the Nationalists, Tokyo is planning
to grant a $150 million credit on easy terms now
under discussion.
