INCLUSION of West New Guinea In Indonesia is to take priority in the policy of the new Govern ment of Indonesia. This was an nounced by the Premier, Dr, Ali Sastroamidjojo, in Djakarta, on April 9.
Towards this end, the Indonesian Government will shortly establish a Province of West Irian (the Indo nesian term for DNG).
Other items in the new pro gramme are compulsory military service and protection of national business against foreign competition.
The Premier said also that his Government planned to remove in fluences inherited from the period of colonial domination. He went on: “We may at times be obliged to take steps not approved by the out side world, especially by some circles of the Western world. However, it is utterly unfounded to condemn such steps as anti-Western.” t Mr. Walkington, a NZ Ministry of Works Engineer, accompanied by a fitter, arrived by TEAL flyingboat early in March to instal two 150kilowatt generators in Rarotonga’s newly constructed Power House. The additional power is required for the new cool store.
