We have many noble principles and fundamentals, which are the basis of our political life and conduct, like Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. All organizations and political parties have to accept Pancasila as the basis for their political activities and all citizens have to live according to the 1945 Constitution.",

All organizations and political parties have<br>\nto accept Pancasila as the basis for their political activities<br>\nand all citizens have to live according to the 1945 Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>According to The Jakarta Post of Aug. 8, the President called<br>\non all ministers to maintain our struggle within the system of<br>\nthe state ideology Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>On Feb. 6, 1974, the President told all governors that our<br>\ndemocracy is a Pancasila democracy, and that there is an<br>\nhonorable place for the right to forward one&apos;s opinion and the<br>\nright to have a different opinion. But it should not be forgotten<br>\nthat there should also be an honorable place for responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>During the University of Indonesia&apos;s 25th anniversary on Feb.<br>\n15, 1975, the President said that it was important to develop<br>\nfreedom of opinion, because freedom is essential in creating<br>\ncreativity. To safeguard our national development, freedom,<br>\ncreativity and criticism are necessary.<\/p>\n<p>The government has managed to supply ample food, clothing and<br>\nhousing and is still doing its best to improve the overall<br>\nsituation. For that, it needs the cooperation of all: civilians,<br>\nthe military, political party members, mass organizations and<br>\nwhatnot.<\/p>\n<p>Think big and discard petty differences, especially personal<br>\nambitions. Trying to fulfill personal ambitions and using the<br>\ninnocent masses for support will only bring disaster.<\/p>\n<p>More dangerously, this will become fertile ground for<br>\ncommunist-based groups to sow discontent and give the hostile<br>\ngroups the chance and opportunity to fish in muddy waters. The<br>\nhistory of 1965 has taught us a lesson and we have paid dearly<br>\nfor that. We should remember this: Do not give history the chance<br>\nto repeat itself.<\/p>\n<p>What we must do now is not try to find out who is to blame,<br>\nbut find a way to solve this problem for the sake of the nation.<\/p>\n<p>SOEGIH ARTO<\/p>\n<p>South Jakarta<\/p>",
