Cablegram 481 CANBERRA, 24 November 1947
IMPORTANT SECRET
Your 627 and 633. [1] We are prepared to make arrangements for
Sjahrir's accommodation in Australia but do not think it expedient
that he should be received here as the official guest of the
Australian Government or that the Government should be responsible
for the expenses of his visit. He will himself realise the reasons
for our attitude, which is at same time, not inconsistent with his
being given a most cordial welcome in Australia.
