Recognition of Indonesia. We should be glad to know as early as
possible specific intentions of United Kingdom/United
States/Indian Governments regarding recognition of Indonesia. We
understand all three Governments have designated diplomatic
representatives to take up duty in Batavia as soon as the New
Indonesian State comes into being, and we infer from this that the
intention is to recognise the new state on 27th December or very
soon thereafter. Please ascertain what United Kingdom/United
States/Indian Government has in mind regarding precise date and
form of recognition. We would consider recognition de jure should
be accorded to the new state and the New Government at the same
time, preferably at the conclusion of the ceremony on 27th or 28th
December. [1]
