217 Department of External Affairs to Pritchett
Cablegram 28 CANBERRA, 15 February 1949, 3.45 p.m.
SECRET
Your telegram No. 16 [1]-Relief supplies.
We cannot agree to the suggestion in paragraph 1 which would mean
that the goods would have Dutch markings instead of Australian
markings.
2. We agree to Sullivan supervising the distribution of the
supplies.
1 In this cablegram, dispatched on 4 February, Pritchett advised
that the NEI authorities had suggested substituting textiles of a
'satisfactory colour' from Dutch stocks for Australian khaki-
coloured relief supplies and that the NEI authorities had
consented to the distribution of the supplies by Lieutenant-
Colonel of the UN International Children's Emergency Fund. See
also Document 195.
