Indonesia-Security Council 10th June. [1]

The Council heard statements by Palar and Van Kleffens. Belgium
then suggested the Council adjourn further discussion until
further reports mentioned in the Committee of Good Offices' second
report have been received. [2] Australia, India and Ukraine
opposed indefinite adjournment and Secretary fixed date (Thursday
17th) for next discussion whether additional reports received or
not.

Palar made a lengthy statement charging the Dutch with an attempt
to eliminate Republic and demonstrating from report on West Java
falsity of Dutch statements to Council in February. Mentioned
amendment of Dutch constitution. Asked Security Council.

1. Whether it could intervene to bring about fulfilment of
economic aspects of truce and
2. To pronounce judgement on the new states issue.

Van Kleffens cited agreement reached 7th June for inter-island and
overseas trade [3], and meeting arranged for Monday 14th for
direct conversation between Van Mook and Hatta as encouraging
signs. Disdained to answer Palar in detail but dealt with main
issues of [federation] [4] and union charging that Republic paid
lip-service by accepting those principles in Linggadjati and
Renville agreement but had never sincerely accepted federal
solution. Their continuing desire for a unitary solution in which
they would dominate the Indies was the real obstacle to
settlement. Change of heart by Republic essential to settlement.

Regarding New States, Dutch found a desire for regional autonomy
but no trace of democracy. If democracy ever to grow, someone must
introduce it and 'we made that start'. He claimed that West Java
conference was representative, proceeded democratically and was
justified in producing the provisional constitution. Drew contrast
with Republic in which there had not even yet been an election.

Appealed to council to leave parties and committee to negotiate
and not distract them by discussions at Lake Success. No threat to
peace now existed and Security Council had not been established to
discuss minor details. Netherlands Government was not prepared to
come periodically to Security Council for such discussions.
