Papuans Given Advice
(N.ZJP .A.-Reater— Copyright) MACASSAR, May 6. President Soekarno told a rally of New Guinea Papuans today that they should start thinking at themselves as Indonesians. President Soekarno was speaking at Biak at the close of a two-day tour at the new Indonesian province of West Irian. Papuans listened in attentive silence as the trenchcoated Indonesian leader spoke to them from a raindrenched dais. President Soekarno said: "Indonesia is neither Java, Sumatra nor Irian but all those islands once colonised by the Dutch. Your motherland is not the Netherlands but Indonesia, at which West Irian is part.”
