10 Darmasetiawan states that there is no disagreement among Republican groups
concerning their policy in the present situation. He stated emphatically
that they are all pulling together. There is some confusion, however, because
of the difficulty the following groups are having communicating with each
other: Sukarno, Hatta and Sjahrir; the Republican government in exile in
Sumatra; and Sumitro and Maramis.
2, Darmasetiawan commented on the fact that the United Nations Commission for
Indonesia(UNCI) contacts only Sukarno and Hatta,. He feels that the de facto
government of the Republic, which was given authority by Sukarno at the last
cabinet meeting held in Jogjakarta before the "police action", should also
.be consulted by the UNCI. It is his opinion that as far as the leaders and
people., of the Republic are concerned.this government-has legal authority.
While Darmasetiawan realizes the difficulty of contacting the government
in exile in Atjeh, he feels mention should be made of this,government.when
Sukarno and Hatta are contacted.
Because of the separation of the Republican leaders, it takes time for ideas
and proposals to be coordinated.
4. Dutch officials have not said when Sukarno, Latta and other leaders will be
released. Darmasetiawan learned from his conversations with Federalists
that Lieut. General Spoor wo.e..against their release and that his opinion in
this matter had influenced Beeler

Java. in two weeks.
