INDONESIA

Netherlands Government has accepted two resolutions of the
Security Council on the understanding that the Republicans cease
all hostile action in word and deed. Government maintains the
standpoint that the Council is not competent to deal with the
situation in Indonesia and that Holland is ultimately responsible
for law and order in Indonesia.

2. Van Mook's visit to the Netherlands Government [2] may yet
cause a Cabinet crisis as I doubt whether Labour Members of the
Government will be prepared to be a party to further police action
even if Van Mook insists on this and he is supported by the Right
Wing of the Government.
