3. NETHERLANDS. Cabinet rejects US protest on oil-rig shipment
to olarid: A Dutch Foreign 0fice 'fficial has state t at
the United States will be dissatisfied with the Cabinet's
note refusing to agree to the US aide-memoire which objected
to the proposed shipment of oil-well equipment to Poland.
The US Embassy at Hague says that, in view of the weak-
ness of the American case, withdrawal of the US note and an
"understanding attitude" would help obtain Dutch action on
h sical controls over transit trade.
Comment: The unfavorable reply to the US note had been
foresmowed by the government's reluctance to delay export
of the oil-well rigs for the last month at American request.
The Benelux delegates to COCOM are reportedly working
on a plan for the physical control of transit trade. Al-
though Dutch approval of this plan is not likely to be
withheld because of the issue over the shipment of the oil-
well equipment, the negotiations could easily be disrupted
if US pressure regarding East-West trade were considered
unwarranted.
4. Dutch agree to restrict travel of Soviet and
Satellite o ficials T e Netherlan s has agreed to regulate
and res rict e travel of Soviet officials in that country.
The decision is conditioned on similar action by the other
NATO countries. Hungarian and Rumanian officials will also
be included under the Dutch ban, which follows the lines
of the United States proposed act -ion and which will be ef-
fective as of 10 March.
Comment: At the Lisbon conference, the United States
requested 'msi ultaneous action by 10 March from most of the
NATO countries to restrict the travel of Soviet officials
within their respective countries. The Netherlands dou7-ts
that this step will be an effective retaliatory measure.
5. Strain in Dutch-Indonesian relations eased: Both
a Dutch and an In onesian of16ial eel that the recent
suspension of talks between their two countries has left a
more "cordial atmosphere" than had been evideri: when pre-
vious talks were interrupted. The drafting of a treaty
establishing relations between the two had got well under-
way, and agreement in principle had been reached on the
main points of the economic and financial accords. Deadlock

over the Netherlands New Guinea issue had been avoided al-
though the Dutch posi-~ion emphasizes that initiative for
future official action to find a compromise must come from
Indonesian quarters. Indonesia, considering the question
of jurisdiction over New Cf.ruiea a political one, proposes
joint Dutch-Indonesian responsibility over the area as a
sten toward final solution.
Comment: The Dutch-Indonesian talks have ceased
pending the formation of a new Indonesian Cabinet. In the
talks to date, no substantial progress had been made to
meet Indonesia's original demands to replace the Union
Agreements with a customary bilateral treaty.
Although the new Indonesian Government undoubtedly
will continue to press Indonesia's claim to New Guinea, it
is unlikely that serious discussion will be resumed until
after the Dutch parliamentary elections in June.

Comment: Rumors of an impending currency reform ccr-
C red in Bucharest for several days before the oo
announcement on 27 January. Allowing the news -to leak out
and perhaps protecting their own financial interests may
have led to the "grave infringe.E::ents" charge against the
officials.
