Hong Kong - Communist China: Strong British ac-
tion against the militant apparatus in Hong Kong has
put the lid on mass violence in the past week.
Hard-core Communists are determined to keep the
pressure on by isolated bombing attacks, primarily
against police stations. Police raids on Communist
strongholds and the arrest of top leaders directing the
struggle, however, are disrupting Communist organiz-
ations and lowering Communist morale, The police, in
addition to netting some leading agitators, on 21 July
arrested a top figure in the principal organization direct-
ing the mass disturbances,
The food strike, tentatively scheduled to begin this
week, has been canceled or postponed. Some reports in-
dicate the main local Communist distributing agency re-
fused to cooperate unless ordered to do so by Peking.
The call for a strike of the harbor facilities has so far
caused only slight delays of a small number of ships sail-
ing for mainland ports.
Peking's reaction to the stepped-up British police
action has been prompt but relatively restrained. Yes-
terday, the Chinese Government told Reuters' Peking
correspondent that he would not be allowed to leave his
residence until further notice, as a reprisal for the "un-
justified persecution" of Communist reporters in Hong
Kong. On 20 July, the New China News Agency attacked
the British in terms mild for the Chinese. The agency
told the British that they would be "held fully responsible
for all the serious consequences," but made no mention
of Peking's earlier official protests against alleged Brit-
ish "atrocities."

Indonesia- The Suharto regime has revived the
anti- Sukarno campaign, partly to deflect criticism of
high-level corruption.
Suharto has seemed to be making slow progress
against corruption, but he prefers to do it quietly, lest
political repercussions disrupt relationships within the
government, He remains convinced that the economic
stabilization program, with its anti-inflation measures,
requires a unified government approach. He views it
as a prerequisite both for economic development and
for political stability, deserving priority treatment.
Army leaders have resurrected the anti- Sukarno
campaign. While there is genuine concern that "Su-
karnoists" have recently become too bold, the leaders
also wish to divert student activists and their sup-
porters from their anticorruption campaign. The stu-
dents, aware that their campaign was foundering, have
agreed to entrust the corruption issue to a "university-
state task force" and have returned enthusiastically to
Sukarno as a target.
Apparently to add an air of urgency to the anti- Su-
karnoist campaign, the government has announced the
arrest of members of an "armed band" which was plot-
ting an "old order comeback"
the detainees include 12 mid-echelon officers
recently arrested in the course of the army's continuing
anti- Communist operations, and two retired leftist
generals

Turkey: Turkish officials say they are deeply con-
cerned over Soviet intentions in the Middle East and over
the future policies of the Arab states most involved in
the war with Israel. The Turks are apprehensive about
the long-term security implications for Turkey and are
particularly alarmed by possible Soviet penetration into
Iraq, Turkey considers Iran its only staunch ally in
the area, and Ankara realizes that the Shah faces the
same potential threats.
South Korea: The political squabble over alleged
rigging of last :month's National Assembly elections
continues to stymie operation of the legislature. The
intransigence of opposition hard-liners and President
Pak 'Chong-hui's personal pique over their humiliating
activities during his inauguration are hampering efforts
to end the boycott of the assembly. The Pak govern-
ment probably will be reluctant to face up to such a con-
troversial issue as sending substantial additional troops
to Vietnam while the legislative, crisis remains unre-
solved

Uruguay: Most of the labor unions in Montevideo
supported the Communist- instigated 24-hour general
strike on 20 July., Although some local buses, central
government offices, and public utilities remained in
operation, many normal activities were interrupted.
Inspired by this success, the Communists are likely to
continue labor agitation and sporadic work stoppages
to discredit the government.
