Your 4[5]. [1] We assume that the Dutch will not actively oppose
the repatriation of Indonesians in H.M.A.S. Manoora. For our part
we cannot agree that the Manoora should visit a Dutch-controlled
port before proceeding to Cheribon. We desire this repatriation
movement to take place without any interference by the Dutch. It
is of the essence of our plan that the Indonesian repatriates
should be delivered safely and directly into the custody of
Indonesian Republican authorities at Cheribon. We do not intend to
depart from this plan.

2. For your own information we do not desire to tell the Dutch
what Indonesians will be aboard the Manoora nor to indicate the
ultimate destination of each passenger. The Dutch are free to seek
this information from the Republican authorities. In any event the
final list of the names of repatriates will probably not be
available until the party is checked while at sea en route to
Cheribon. [2]
