The whole of Sumatra's West Coast was then in a state of political turmoil; the ideas of independence were being propagated by young and old in the various organizations of the Permi, PSII, PNI, and PI; Indonesia free, now or within a few years was sung in all keys, not only in the larger population centers, but also in the countryside. The Minangkabau politicians did not limit their activities to the West Coast, but sent their propaganda over all Sumatra. Police measures were inadequate to contain this, the government lowered its guard [het gezag nam zienderoogen af]; there was a threatened split among the Volkshoofden; duties towards the government were being carried out badly, further deterioration could only be checked by extraordinary means. Characteristic of the mentality of the Minangkabauer is the fact that by then the bloody lesson provided by the suppression of the disturbances at the beginning of 1927 seemed already to have been forgotten, or better perhaps, the facts had not been forgotten, that could not yet be, but the large majority had not drawn the correct lesson from them. The ideal of freedom put forward by reckless popular leaders still seemed to possess such a great attraction that the people let themselves be pushed on to a road that could lead to repetition of the occurrences of 1927.1
