March has been the month of big political decisions in Indonesia for three years now.In March 1966 President Soekarno, faced with a tumult of hostile student demonstrations, and with unprecedentedly threatening pressure from a newly self-confident army leadership, signed over most of his powers to the com mander of the army, General Suharto.In March 1967, Indonesia's super-parliament, the M.P.R.S. (Interim People's Consultative Congress), met in an atmosphere of great tension.Suharto had concluded that Soekarno could not be persuaded to cooperate with the army on terms which acknowledged its hegemony, and so had to be thrown out; it seemed to many that an attempt to oust the president might lead to a clash between pro-Soekarno units of the armed services and militantly pro-New Order units.But this was averted.Thanks to Suharto's steering skills and caution, and his willingness to leave Soekarno the vestigial insignia of his old glory, it was possible to strip the president of all his powers without giving rise to major disturbances.2Suharto himself was named acting president.In March 1968 there was a further session of the M.P.R.S.This time there was less sense of crisis than a year earlier, and much less than in March 1966.Suharto and his associates were in reasonably comfortable control of the country.Political excitement rose to a high pitch at several points, but there was no fear of violent clashes of any size.
