Your K.24. [1]

You should make strongest possible appeal to Committee as
suggested in your para.5. The Dutch clearly cannot expect to have
it both ways; if they still pay lip-service to the Linggadjati
Agreement they cannot openly flout it. It can do no harm to
threaten strong minority report, and Kirby may instruct you to
submit one later in week. Meanwhile you should continue to press
along lines of your paras 5 and 7 and keep us fully informed of
progress.

2. For your own information we are endeavouring to arrange for
Kirby to return in our aircraft before the New Year. I shall
discuss your telegram fully with him.
