DUTCH SHIPS IN AUSTRALIA
WATERSIDERS' BAN STILL ON SYDNEY, April 16. None of the seven Dutch ships held up in Australia will be loaded until the Indonesian Republican Government endorses their sailing, stated the treasurer of the Waterside Workers' Federation, Mr S. Moral. Speaking during a rally in the Sydney Town Hall, he said the watersiders were right in 1938, when they banned pig-iron shipments to Japan, and again in 1946, when they were preventing the sailing of Dutch ships. He said tnat the_ ships would not sail until the question of Indonesian independence was settled to the satisfaction of the Indonesians. The most recent reports from the Dutch authorities indicate that they are now concerned only with getting their ships away, in ballast if necessary, so that they can be used elsewhere.
