I do not know whether you have any means of direct communication
with the Indonesians. I particularly want a message to go to them
to the effect that they should endeavour to have Australia
included in any mediation negotiations, for example, America and
Australia could jointly act as a third party. I particularly want
also an Australian official to be with the Indonesians, perhaps
accredited to their Capital, in order to assist and advise. Our
only means of communication is by air. I imagine Gani will be
returning in the near future, and it may be as well to speak to
him. We feel we are perhaps in the best position to ensure fair
and just treatment and, if the matter is to be referred to the
Security Council again, we are certainly in the best position to
do it and should therefore know the inside story.
