t. Reaction to Dutch mof+bs in Indonesia- -US Embassies London
and Canberra report that representatives of the Foreign Of -
fices in both countries have indicated their strong displeasure
with the Dutch action in Indonesia. The UK Foreign Office,
however, has indicated that it would be most reluctant to
invoke sanctions under the UN Charter because of: (a) appar-
ent Dutch determination to carry on "police action" despite
the threat of sanctions; and (b) fear for the effects on rela-
tions within the western European union. US Embassy New
Delhi, meanwhile, has been reliably informed that the Indian
Government is so indignant over the Indonesian situation that
it may break off relations with the Netherlands and deny the
Dutch the use of Indian ports and airfields.

Council of Foreign Ministers concerning possible Austrian

French, and Soviet deputies meet in London about 7 Feb-
ruary 1949 to discuss the basis for the reopening of such
negotiations and the early conclusion of a treaty reestablish-
ing Austrian independence.
