INDONESIAN DISPUTE
New Initiative Urged WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, The Washington "Post” , ant-> gested today a new initiative aimed at renewing negotiations in the Netherlands-Indonesian dispute over Dutch New Guinea “if the stiff-neckM opposition tn The Hague could' be overcome. In a leading article, the newspaper said it, hoped that the recall of Mr John Allison as United States Ambassador to Indonesia and his replacement did not mean what it appeared to mean—“that the United States has decided that the situation in Indonesia is beyond repair.”
Mr Allison, a sensitive and sensible diplomat who is a former Assistant-Secretary of State and Ambassador to Japan, has been in Jakarta less than a year. "During this period he has witnessed the menacing rise of Communism as the political situation in Indonesia has disintegrated, and he has argued for a positive American effort to reverse the course.
“Inevitably his recommendations have involved the status of New Guinea, or West Irian, and the American abstention from this dispute between Indonesia and the Netherlands. But his recommendations have run into a stone wall, presumably in the person of Mr Dulles, after they were referred to The Hague,” the “Post" said.
