Australian N. Guinea
Future of Dutch NG Still in Doubt
DELEGATIONS representing Dutch and Indonesian interests have been meet ing at The Hague, in a last attempt to fix the status of Dutch New Guinea before the end of 1950.
The Dutch have refused to surrender the Territory to the Indonesians. The Indonesians demand possession, and have refused to consider any compromise.
An interesting trend was reported by Reuter from Djakarta on December 6: Australian New Guinea should be “lib erated” from colonialism, the Indonesian Parliamentary representative of Sobsi (Communist central organisation of the Indonesian trade-union movement) Werd ojo, said to-day.
In an interview with the Dutch-owned Aneta News Agency, Werdojo said that negotiations should be started with Aus tralia to liberate Eastern New Guinea.
He said the Government should also lead an anti-Dutch boycott in Indonesia if the Netherlands did not give up West ern (Dutch) New Guinea.
