A circular bearing the imprint “Watersiders’ Branch of the Communist Party” was before members of Cabinet last night, adds the “Telegraph.” The circular states that Dutch ships are being loaded with stores for the Dutch Army “for the purpose of waging a war agaipst the independence of the Indonesian people.” It adds that to assist the Dutch in any way is to assist avaricious Dutch Imperialism against Indonesian democracy.
