This article studies the spread of Communism in Southeast Asian countries. The establishment of a "huge" Soviet embassy in Bangkok, Thailand, has provide much of the raw material for scare stories. British and American officials in the area are confident that the Bangkok embassy's main function is to serve as a listening and propaganda post. In the three years since the establishment of Indonesia, it has become clear that most of its small minority of educated people are leftists of some sort. But the largest section of the nationalist movement, representing about half of its popular following has been in the hands of the right-wing Moslem party, Masjumi.
