DAILY BRIEF
?23 JANUARY 1965
1. United Kingdom
2. Indonesia
3. South Vietnam
Subandrio, who is on his way to
Peiping to discuss aid, apparently has
now stated publicly that Indonesia will
sign no military pact with any govern-
ment. This contradicts earlier reports
suggesting that a formal mutual defense
agreement with the Chinese might be in
the wind. The best guess seems to be
that Subandrio will try to get a
specific Chinese military commitment,
the details of which will be kept quiet.
Buddhist-inspired demonstrations
continue and seem to be taking an in-
creasingly anti-US tone. In Saigon, it
is becoming clear that the recent settle-
ment between the generals and Huong is
largely a facade, and plotting and
counterplotting seem to be growing even
more intense than usual. Some of this
activity suggests that Khanh may be
working out a deal for Buddhist sup-
port in taking over the government.
This is far from certain, however.
