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."
