Pointing to Soviet actions for peace, Krushchev called on the U.S. and Britain India spurns U.S. trick India has turned down a U.S, proposal that it take the place of Chiang Kai-shek’s rump Formosa regime as one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. The proposal made informally to India three months ago, was designed—like earlier attempts—to make trouble between India and China and break up Asian unity. . Indian reports said that Premier Nehru opposed the sug- gestion because India regards the seat as rightfully belonging to “follow suit” and indicated that the Soviet Union was pre-| pared to do still more to streng- then peace. “We hope the spirit of Gen- eva will develop and strenghen not as_a spirit unseen and in- tangible,” he said, “but in the form of concrete actions.” This “was’ the case with ‘us when we decided to reduce our armed forces by 640,000 men, when we renounced our right of lease of the naval base of Pork- kala in Finland and carried out a number of other measures. “We expect that our partners from Geneva (US.,_ Britain, France) will follow suit, which could be followed by new pro- posals on our part.” In a further gesture to pro- mote disarmament, Bulgaria an- nounced last week that it would cut its armed forces by 18,000 men. - This means that since Gen- eva the Soviet Union has an- nounced a cut of 640,000, Po- land 47,000, Rumania 40,000, Czechoslovakia 34,000, Hun- gary 20,000, Bulgaria 18,000, Albania 9,000. But no cuts at all have been announced by Britain, France or the U.S. Apart from his call for the evacuation of Germany and peace actions from the U.S. and Brit- ain, Khrushchev’s speech to the East German delegation dealt with other aspects of the Ger- man question. He repeated that NATO was directed against the Soviet Un- ion and that attempts to drag all Germany into NATO only made difficulties for German unity. “The solution of the question (German unity) should be transferred into the hand of the German people,” he said. Last week the Soviet Union gave the German Democratic Re- public full sovereign freedom to decide all questions of home and foreign-policy, including relations with West Germany. : A treaty signed at the conclu- sion of the visit of the East Ger- man delegation led by Premier Grotewohl, declared it was their aim “by means of appropriate peace settlement for all Ger- many. ee “Sior parties uphold national unity Indonesia prepares for election This DJAKARTA Mattenca eo” throughout the Pelagy islands of the archi- the is Indonesians were to go to Slectio, 1% their first national foy September 29, the date set Roache elections to begin, ap- » leaders of all parties, Tdonesis Communist Party of tan a (PKI) to the Indones- for the im League (PSII) called through election to be carried "hort, “8 Scheduled in face of 1 th . that certain elements, tempt and elsewhere, were Pretaxte © to delay it on various ajo F ; ection Parties contesting the are: Indonesian Na- tional party (PNI), Communist ene (PRK), Socialist party | (PSI), Indonesian Muslim League (PSII), and National People’s ‘party (PRN). Former Prime Minister Ali Sas- troamidjojo, leader of-the Indo- nesian National party, who has been touring Java, told an elec- tion rally at Serang, “National peace is necessary to give sub- ‘stance to our independence. An estimated one and a half million people have heard D. N. Aidit, Communist general secre- tary, during his election tour of central Java. In his speeches Aidit has stres- sed the significance of people’s unity against the Dutch colonial- ists, citing the achievements of Communist-Nationalist unity. At the same time, Aidit has strongly denounced those leaders of the Socialist party whose anti-Com- munist stand weakens national unity and — strengthens anti- democratic elements. Orudjo Kartawinata, chairman of the Muslim League’s central executive, has also emphasized the need for unity to complete the national revolution. Pointing out that the Dutch took 2.5 billion rupiahs a year out of Indonesia, he has called for annulment of the round-table conference agreement with the Dutch. to China. Indian sources added that when Nehru was in Moscow last June, Premier Bulganin suggested that.the number of perm- anent seats in the Security Council might be increased to six to allow both China and India to be members. This, it is understood, would be acceptable to India. Singapore gov’t hit for violating pledge Singapore citizens jeered and hooted Chief Minister David Marshall last week after he had moved in the legislative assembly that police terror regulations be continued. Marshall had introduced a so-called Public Security Bill, which includes most of the repressive measures of the present Emergency Regulations. Later, under pressure, he adjourned debate on it till October 12. The bill has been condemned by 94 Signapore trade unions as “vicious and repugnant.” , Trade unionists and_ school- children last week demonstrated in thousands outside the assem- bly building, waving placards with. the slogans saying: “Mar- shall, you have Jet the people down.” During the recent election Marshall and his Labor Front pledged ‘to end all the Emerg- ency Regulations. But the demonstrators cheer- ed representatives of the People’s Action party, who are fighting the bill. : The people of Singapore Under their attacks in the as- sembly, Marshall admitted that he had been under pressure from the British military authorities to push the Bill through. He said that Lieut. General Sir Geoffrey Bourne, director of operations in Malaya, had em- phasized that any relaxation in Singapore would make the war in Malaya more difficult. British officers admitted last week that the recent fake am- nesty offer (which only repeats the former surrender terms) had proved a complete failure. Only seven members of the Malayan Liberation Army, whose strength Britain puts at 3,500, had surrendered under it. are demanding that their new government live up to its election pledge to end police terrorism {as used in the recent strike.
