The article describes the political conditions and views of other countries about Indonesia after a political disturbance incident in which a mob broke into the Parliament building in Jakarta. Tension mounted and Parliament has passed a bill for the first general elections. Also the Cabinet has been reshuffled and several high army and defense officials have been dismissed with a view to allaying the dissatisfaction. The present conflict is nurtured by two school of thoughts. The Indonesian Cabinet thinks that the stability is the prime necessity and is supported by the military leaders. Parliament members are determined to complete the revolution against colonialism immediately, at any cost.
