TELEGRAM 84 SECRET |
Ottawa,
le 19 janvier 1949 |

Your teletypes No. 68 and 69 of January 19 concerning Indonesia, and our telephone conversation this morning. 1. We are glad to note the improvements in the draft resolution. We find difficulty, however, in understanding the United States delegation's objection to our suggested amendment to sub-paragraph (c) of paragraph 3. You state that they consider that no proviso is necessary to this sub-paragraph since it must be read within the context of the first clause of the paragraph. This does not seem to be consistent with the fact that they have agreed to a proviso to sub-paragraph (a) of the same paragraph, which is governed by the same first clause. Moreover the first clause of the paragraph does not make any specific reference to the establishment of the Netherlands-Indonesian Union as envisaged in the Linggadjati and Renville Agreements and therefore sub-paragraph (c) as it now stands could well be interpreted to mean that ell the Indonesians have to do is to stall the negotiations and get complete independence outside the Union by July 1, 1950. 1 should be grateful if you would point this out to the United States delegation and again advance the amendmcnt which we have already suggested. 2. You may inform the United States and the other delegations concerned in this draft that it is in general satisfactory. Nevertheless, we reserve the right after it has been introduced, to put forward certain amendments to improve it. | |
