Your telegram 336 [1] paragraph 6.

Ubani disclosed to us this morning that he has discussed this
platform with Nehru who considers
(a) that no steps should be taken to form an Indonesian Government
in exile pending treatment of the matter by the Security Council;

(b) but that if the Security Council fails to achieve a Dutch
withdrawal, to effect a release of political leaders and otherwise
to provide satisfactory solution, a Government in exile should be
formed.

I asked Ubani where it was contemplated that it might be set up.

He replied that it would probably be India 'since India is the
centre of Asia'.

2. Soedarsono is arriving in Delhi today, in company with Oetoyo
the Indonesian representative in Singapore. Oetoyo is expected to
return to Singapore after a short stay.

3. Ubani nevertheless pressed the point of action being taken
outside the Security Council by friendly countries including
Australia. He spoke of political as well as economic sanctions
suggesting that Australia and New Zealand might break off
diplomatic relations with the Dutch, apply various economic
sanctions and perhaps provide volunteers and arms. He hoped that
his various views would be passed on by you to New Zealand.

4. Ubani stated yesterday that Burmese Charge d'Affaires has
informed him that it is the intention of Burmese Government to
impose economic sanctions against the Dutch by denying them
shipping and air facilities. Asked when this reported decision
might take effect he replied that Burma would await India's lead.

He has also seen Siamese who have said guardedly that if action of
this kind by neighbouring countries is likely to be successful
they would join in on it but would otherwise hold aloof. Having
now seen the High Commissioner for Ceylon and Pakistan, he said
today in a somewhat vague fashion that 'Ceylon will also be much
influenced by whatever step is taken by Asia' and that 'Pakistan
will not lag behind India'.
