ATTITUDE OF BRITAIN
Dr. Djuanda’s Hopes (Rec. 8 p.m.) SINGAPORE. April 10. Jakarta Radio said today that the Premier of Indonesia (Dr. Djuanda) had told a “News Chronicle" correspondent that he hoped Britain would be "more realistic and less suspicious” than the United States about communism in Indonesia. According to the radio, monitored by Radio Malaya, Dr. Djuanda said Britain more clearly understood the problems of Indonesia because Britain had had much experience in Asian affairs. Dr. Djuanda said the main factor presenting difficulty in good relations between Indonesia and Britain was the anti-Indonesia subversive movement in Singapore. Dr. Djuanda said he hoped the British Government would take measures against this illegal movement, the radio reported. Indonesia did not lean left or right in its arms purchases. It had asked Britain to sell it small warships, but no answer to this request had been received. The radio said the Premier had told the correspondent that there should be no anxiety about British capital in Indonesia.
