Aggression Exploitation
HAVANA, Fri. (11.30 a.m.)—The Dutch were accused of aggression, exploitation, and “attempts to starve the Indonesian Republic into submission” by the Indonesian vicePremier (Dr A. K. Gani) at the United Nations Trade Conference today. Dr Gani said the Dutch had deliberately ruined Indonesia’s educational system. “The Dutch army is well equipped but every home in Indonesia has the means wherewith to produce fire and if the Dutch persist in trying to occupy more teri’itory, we shall be forced to continue scorched earth tactics so that the invader may be denied the spoils of conquest,” he said.
Anton Speekenbrink (Netherlands) formally protested “against the way Dr Gani has misused the invitation he received to this conference for political ends, and against the gross misrepi'esentation of facts.”
