INDONESIA

Following additional information has come to hand since last
telegram. [1]

2. I understand Bevin has asked Nehru through Krishna Menon to
defer action about bringing the Indonesian situation to the
Security Council for a few clays anyway. No reply has yet been
received. There is no reason to suppose Nehru will accept the
request but, as his decision may be relevant to our decision on
Wednesday, have suggested to Delhi that they should report to you
direct on the matter.

3. Your telegram 268. [2] Paragraphs 4 and 5. It is understood the
United Kingdom officials think that Article 17 of Linggadjati
Agreement is completely applicable to the present situation,
although no actual decision has been made on this point.

4. Understand it has been decided to stop supply of arms, etc. to
Dutch in the Far East. [3]
