Cablegram 753 CANBERRA, 17 December 1947
IMMEDIATE SECRET
Reports from Indonesia suggest Dutch are massing troops at
strategic points. [1] There is no objection to you stating this as
a report, and the statement which we have telegraphed to you [2]
should be made in the context of a firm statement requesting
immediate action and the termination of the delaying tactics which
have now prolonged negotiations for almost three months since the
Security Council took its decision. This will be the last
opportunity we will have on the Security Council of making an
issue of this matter.
