BROADCAST BY GOVERNOR
RETURN OF ORDER URGED
BATAVIA, July 25. An appeal to everyone who lived and worked in the areas occupied by the Netherlands troops in the last five days to give their utmost co-opera-tion for a speedy return of law and order was broadcast to-night by the Lieutenant-Governor of the Netherlands East Indies (Dr. H. J. van Mook).
“The Government appeals to everyone. no matter where or which side—to everyone who really accepts the Linggadjati (Cheribon) agreement, and who realises his responsibility—for the restoration of peace, justice, and prosperity to Indonesia,” he said. Dr. van Mook, speaking later to Australia. Malaya, America, and New Zealand, said that the Netherlands was ready to install an . Interim Government as soon as constructive elements in Indonesia could be consulted.
What had occurred was not a war against the people, but a policing action proved necessary by the wanton destruction of property of nonIndonesians in territory where the authority of the Republic was crumbling.
