Your UN. 8. [1]

You should continue to press for inclusion in any draft resolution
of an instruction to the Dutch to withdraw their armed forces to
December 17th positions. We sense that United States as well as
United Kingdom is now lukewarm on the question of ordering
withdrawal to demarcation lines. It is, however, idle to talk in
terms of free elections in areas which, in absence of Dutch
withdrawal, would be under forcible occupation of Dutch troops.

Even supposing such elections were to be supervised by United
Nations free expression of opinion could not be expected.
