My telegram K.66 and K.67. [1]

My immediately following telegram is a summary of a communique
released by Netherlands East Indies Government withdrawing their
earlier statement on alleged New York Press Conference Committee
of Good Offices. [2]

2. Press correspondents here have expressed the opinion that whole
episode might have been deliberate. Certainly the Netherlands
appear to have gained an advantage from its hasty Press release
and local Dutch Press continues to publish reactions in
Netherlands. On the other hand, Kirby might be able to make good
use of the incident in New York and Washington by giving it as an
example of how difficult it is for the Committee to work with the
Dutch.
