in a secret conference that the United States was workingn through Agtile
UN for its own profit, and that if matters continue in this directi?>n
the United States would I:uceeed in replacing the Dutch economic con-.;ro1
with a monopolistic arrangement of their own and Indonesia would find
herself in the same econc-Iaic position as she was before?
2. In view of this, Sjahrir suggested to Agung a plan which Agung was ;o
present to Beel. In-substance the plan provided for the granting of
immediate sovereignty to Indonesia,with the military, economic and
financial position. so modified as o be acceptable to the Republic, but
leaving the authoritative strings legally held by the Dutch.
3. Agung presented these suggestions to Beel in such a way as to give the
impression that they were his ideas. Beel departed for' he
the plan and presented it there and this is the plan that is nHa with
oweknown as
the "Be.], Plana!

first speech advocating cooperation with the Dutch. When Beel left
