FAR EAST
1. INDONESIA: 'esterling threat reported lessening--US
Ambassador Cochran in Jakarta has been: assured by the
Netherlands High Commissioner in Indonesia that he now
has the cooperation of local Netherlands military leaders
and that the threat posed by the activities of the ex-army
insurrectionist Westerling is declining. Cochran also
transmits evidence from Indonesian Government sources
indicating that Westerling and his associates had been
financed by Dutch officials. Cochran, however, recom-
mends that no US representations on the subject be made
to the Netherlands Government on the grounds that the
best results can be achieved if negotiations concerning
Westerling are left directly to Indonesian and Netherlands
officials in Jakarta,
