Doctor Sjahrir leaving Singapore [by] Constellation December 9th.

He has not made any arrangements for his visit to Australia,
leaving itinerary etc. to Dr. Oesman. Dr. Sjahrir desires to pay
respects to the Prime Minister, Dr. Evatt, Messrs Pollard and
Menzies. He wishes to see shipbuilding industry, iron and steel
works, food processing factories, meat, fruit, dairy produce. Also
wishes to see up to date farms of various types. Would also like,
if possible, a recreation visit to Sydney's beaches and mountains.

I have had long discussion with Dr. Sjahrir and given him local
Australian picture political, commercial and social as far as
practicable.

Dr. Sjahrir is looking forward most eagerly to the visit and is
grateful of your assurance of reception. [1] Please inform Dr.

Oesman of foregoing and be assured of necessary accommodation
arrangements. Whole visit in Australia approximately 2 weeks. [2]
