Secretary General of Foreign Affairs told me last night on behalf
of new Minister (who will send for me in course of next few days)
that he hopes for early solution of N.E.I. problems and to that
end trusts that if need arises Kirby's services will be available.

2. He hopes that Dr. Evatt will be able to pay a visit to Hague
and have personal discussions with him between 13 and 18
September.

3. He is concerned at report that Australian officials propose
attending reception by 'Representative of Republic Indonesia' in
Canberra on August 17th and hopes they will avoid this seeming
official recognition at a time when it might be wrongly
interpreted. [2]

4. I am advising Dr. Evatt accordingly.
