i7S-UK concern over Dutch plans for Indonesia.--The Depart-
ment of State ha,s informed the US delegation to the Good Offices
Committee in Batavia of the following US-UK views concerning
new Dutch plans for Indonesia: (a) the US considers that the
Dutch plans neglect the most pressing problem in Indonesia--the
need to salt the fighting; (b) the US also considers itself obligated
to support the 28 January Security Council resolution, which
has the merit of setting a specific date for the transfer of sover-
eignty, as opposed to the indefinite Dutch plan; and (c) British
Foreign Secretary Beta has misgivings about Dutch intentions,
as evidenced by the plan, and feels they provide no proof that
the Dutch are considering the Indonesian point view. The
Department suggests that the British are increasingly concerned
over the possible fall of the Dutch Government, a development
which would delay resolution of the Indonesian problem and
have serious repercussions on European recovery and the Atlantic
Pact.
