Sukarno, perhaps the best phrasemaker in Southeast Asia, dubbed his Cabinet the "Cabinet Kerdja-the Cabinet of Work." Its program, he added, is "a very simple one: to provide food and clothing for the people in the shortest possible time, to establish security, and to continue the struggle against economic and political imperialism."

New to politics, this flamboyant sect first made its mark in the April municipal elections when 337 of its 362 candidates were elected to office.
