Move To Avoid Any Embarrassment To Dutch And Indonesians
SYDNEY. Nov 30 (Reed 8 pm). A forecast that negotiations between the Dutch Government and the Indonesian Republic would be successful was made by Doctor H. C. Coombs. Australian delegate to the Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East today. He moved that the application by Indonesia for admittance as an associate member be deferred until the next meeting of the Commission. Associate /membership gives the country a right to speak, but not to vote. Dr. Coombs said that Australia had friendship and sympathy for the Republican movement and warm regard for the Dutch, and did not want anything done by the conference that might impair the negotiations. The Indian delegate (Mr. C. C. Desai) said that the application should only be deferred if it embarrassed the two parties. Postponement without knowing Indonesian views was onlv begging the issue. The United States delegate (Mr. Mvron Cowen) favoured postponement.
