Please give following message to Noel Baker from Minister.

'This is a personal message, but I feel I should point out to you
that five members of the British Commonwealth meeting at New Delhi
have taken a definite stand on the Indonesian question in the
interests of the United Nations. I feel that failure to support
them in the interests of the Dutch, who are proved aggressors (see
the Committee of Good Offices Report [1]) is very dangerous to
British Commonwealth solidarity. At the present juncture at New
York there is a postponement obviously designed to permit the
Dutch to make some announcement or promise so as to detract
support from the United States resolution. [2] These are the
tactics that they have used on many occasions before and we should
not be further misled. We have delayed recognition of Israel for
many months solely at your repeated requests. A similar regard for
the British Commonwealth countries in this part of the world
should fairly be expected from you. Cadogan's attitude at New
York, in the opinion of our own people and of other countries
including the United States, has been simply one of appeasement
against the considered judgment of five members of the British
Commonwealth.'
