Your 109. [1] The incomprehensible Dutch made formal protest
yesterday at our offer to assist rehabilitation Indonesia. [2] If
they think now there is measure agreement with Indonesia, which,
incidentally, is largely due to United Kingdom, United States of
America, Australian help, that they can reinstate pre-war
exclusive trading policy they should know this will recreate
trouble in Indonesia and also with rest of world. Indonesians
urgently require economic assistance and advice and we propose
trying to make it available.
