Your telegram 286. [2]

Have conveyed contents to the Government of India and Sjahrir.

Sjahrir is considering paragraph 4 but he has not indicated his
intentions.

The Government of India despatched their message to New York for
the Security Council at 1300 hours Indian standard time 30th July
after waiting an additional hour for your 286 to be deciphered.

The Government of India withholding final comment until they
receive the statement mentioned in paragraph 6 [3] but they are
hinting non co-operation by Australia in not giving opportunities
which India accorded to her. My position is invidious and
essential that I be informed of hour of despatch of your
instructions for Security Council. Your telegram 288. [4]
Statement 'time our action more or less simultaneously' unlikely
to be satisfactory to the Government of India and I request
precise information as asked for above.
