Aneta reports to-day that a resolution from the Bandoeng
Conference was submitted Lt. Governor General 17th July. The
Resolution is reported to propose:-

(a) a three-man directorate of Indonesians is to be established
with presidential powers,
(b) a High Commissariat as representative of the sovereign
Netherlands government is to be established,
(c) the executive organ in Indonesia should be a collegiate of
State Secretaries in a different composition from the present
Provisional Federal Government of state secretaries, in so far
that more Indonesians should be appointed therein.

(d) a Senate should be established consisting of the leaders of
the component parts of the future United States of Indonesia.

2. The report continues that this resolution will also be brought
to the attention of the Republican government at Jogjakarta,
presumably after the signatories have been informed of the
comments of the Provisional Federal Government. As has been
previously reported, the deputation which visited Doctor van Mook,
requested him to pass the resolution on the Netherlands government
at The Hague. [1]

3. However during recent visit to Ambon I stayed on route at
Makassar with Dutch Commissioner and met on different occasions
President, Prime Minister and Secretary General for Home Affairs
East Indonesia. Secretary General a leftist Dutchman had just
returned from Bandoeng Conference with Prime Minister and in
informal conversation with Commissioner and self on 18th July said
that Van Mook plan for new Interim Government was not accepted by
Conference and would be held up and not be sent to Holland. New
proposals now had been made by Conference which unofficially had
been agreed to by Republic and would be taken to Jogja officially
before submitting to Lt. Governor General.

4. Determined efforts by Indonesians themselves to settle
Republican dispute also obvious from my unofficial talk with Prime
Minister. Secretary General considers latest move is good but is
still not optimistic of final result. Unable to ascertain details
of new proposals but further details of my visit follows airmail.

5. Am endeavouring to check actual position.
