CONSULS’ REPORT TO UNITED NATIONS DOCUMENTS NOT MADE PUBLIC (Rec. 11 pm.) NEW YORK, Sept. 2T. The contents of the first joint consular report on conditions in the Netherlands East Indies, which was circulated to-night among members of the Security Council, were not made public, but the documents are believed to state that the United Nations’ cease-fire order has failed to achieve complete peace. The consuls refrain from placing the blame for the continued turmoil, and declare that they are “unable to discover any practical interim measures which would secure a more effective observance of the order.” According to the information so far available to them, Dutch troops advanced in spearheads until midnight on August 4, when both the Dutch and Indonesian cease-fire orders took effect. Indonesian resistance forces were caught between forward Netherlands columns, and strife has continued in those areas since then. The consuls making the report were those of Australia, Belgium, Britain, China. France, and the United States. They have not completed their investigation. and will report more fully by next Tuesday.
