INDONESIA: Chinese delegate reports that no agreement had been
reached between Indian delegation representing the Republic and
the Netherlands. Philippines delegate then moved the postponement
of the question until the next session of the Commission seconded
by the United States. The Netherlands delegate read telegrams from
his government urging the Commission to consider the consequences
of admission of the Republic separately. Alleged such admission
would seriously interfere with the work of the Good Offices
Commission.

Indian delegates proposed adjournment till Wednesday to
investigate offer of compromise by the Republican delegation.

Above matter afoot for Republic to accept separate associate
membership under Netherlands sponsor; rest of Indonesia would be
form of second associate member.

Indian proposal carried 8 to 3, France, Netherlands, Philippines
against, China and the United Kingdom abstaining. If the question
of postponement to session alone had been put I abstain so as not
to overtly oppose the admission of the Republic to this session
and at the same time not to obstruct what amounts to some degree
of compromise by the Netherlands. If no compromise between the
Netherlands and the Republic reached by Wednesday, proposals to
postpone until next session likely to be made again; would
appreciate instructions. Postponement will be opposed by India who
desires to force the issue in this session.
