219 Critchley to Department of External Affairs

Cablegram K269 BATAVIA, 15 February 1949, 4.15 p.m.

MOST IMMEDIATE RESTRICTED

My telegram No. K. 268. [1]

Cochran believes that his recent intensive discussions [2] at The
Hague are producing results and offer the only opportunity for the
implementation of the 28th January resolution. [3] He is
emphatically opposed to reporting Dutch non-compliance at this
stage, and will not go beyond suggesting to the Security Council
that the detailed report be delayed until 1st March.

Please advise today whether I can accept the postponement or
should submit a minority report against the strongly expressed
wishes of the Americans.
