From frankly informal talk with the Dutch Premier he informs me
that a decision on a visit to Australia is not yet Possible. [1]
Apparently there is dissension among the Dutch on account of the
latest proposals of the Committee of Three which are stated to
have caused an anti-Australian reaction here and in Holland. Beel
considers that Graham also does not understand the Indonesian
problem. Vredenburch whose influence here is most strong is
uncompromising in his attitude towards the Republic and Australia
in supporting the Republic and he told me his advice to the
Premier was not to visit Australia, particularly on account of the
anti-Australia feeling in Holland; however from my talks I
consider that the Premier desires to make the visit which I have
pressed for as far as possible.
