Your telegram 85. [1]

In the progressive report of sub-committee 1, ('Return to
Djokjakarta' (K310 [2])) the Dutch have made the following
commitments regarding the supply of materials and equipment to the
Republican Government.

(a) To 'place at the disposal of the Republican Government the
necessary materials and equipment for the operation of services of
a Federal character and other public utility services in the
territory of the Republic';

(b) to supply 'as much as possible of stationery and other
materials which will be needed' by the Departments;

(c) to make available road transport equipment to the Republic,
the number of vehicles being based upon
(1) the need to transport normal imports until railway
communications are restored;

(2) the needs of various services and public utilities;

(d) to 'supply the Republican Government with essential goods on
the same basis as for other parts of Federal Indonesia which came
under the control of the provisional Federal Government after
December 19th 1948, taking into consideration the special
circumstances connected with the return of the Republican
Government to Djokjakarta'.

2. The delegations are at present engaged in working out the
quantities in Batavia. I shall advise as soon as possible the
extent to which the Dutch will supply the Republican requirements.

3. If the Dutch do not supply essential Republican requirements
this will no doubt be considered by the Commission and I shall
endeavour to ensure an appropriate report to the Security Council.
