NNG Talks On Self-Government

A delegation from the Nether lands New Guinea Council will have informal talks in Holland with Dutch Government repre sentatives from August 22 to September 23 on the subject of self-government.

In addition to putting their views before the Government, the delegation will discuss other re lated matters, including New Guinea citizenship.

Delegation members are: D.

Tokoro-Hanasbey, M. W. Kai siepo, Nic. Tanggahma, H. W. F.

Gosewisch, P. C. Maturbongs, A. van Zeeland, D. Walab, M.

Suway, M. B. Ramandey and Th.

Meseth.
