INDONESIA

My UN.194. [1]

1. Council discussion today [2] produced very little that was new.

India, Pakistan and Indonesia were main speakers. All three took
the line that any preliminary meeting to be acceptable and
consistent with Council resolution [3] should be confined to
discussion and arrangements for re-establishment of Government in
Djokjakarta. Palar added such discussions should have maximum
limit of 14 days which should include the repatriation of the
government. He also asked for immediate report from Commission on
military situation and followed Norwegian suggestion [4] last week
in proposing an investigation of alleged atrocities by some
competent organ.

2. Debate was again adjourned until Wednesday. In the interval
between last meeting and today Americans had revised text of their
formula [5] in the direction of giving priority to agreement on
arrangements for return to Djokjakarta. It was the intention that
Canada should submit revised text today but during debate this
plan was changed for the reason I understand that Cuba and Egypt
had decided that revised formula was not strong enough. Another
revision is to be made between now and Wednesday.

3. As result of debate over the last week the feeling of the
Council has undoubtedly hardened against the Netherlands.
