My telegram 733. [1]

Apparently four small transmitters are still operating from
Indonesia. Broadcasts have been picked up from Madioen and Pakan
Baroe and from one source purporting to be Bukit Tinggi itself
These all claim that guerilla resistance is taking on shape and
substance and instance the recapture of Blitar.

2. According to British Military intelligence the Dutch have put
three Battalions into Bogor area and six more at Surakarta.

According to the Indonesians these are districts into which, by a
prearranged plan, two Siliwangi divisions of T.N.I. have, for the
last three weeks, been infiltrating in small groups to be ready to
stay behind for resistance to present police action, which seems
to be inevitable. The Dutch are already finding difficulty in
Bogor area. This may prove to be the case also in Bandoeng region.

We are informed that it may take some weeks to organise this
resistance but that Indonesians expect it can remain effective for
two months.

3. According to [2] who is now in Singapore, Indonesian plan of
action is three fold
(A) to keep up resistance so that the Dutch cannot present the
world with a fait accompli and to maintain Goot [3] in being.

Sjaffrodin, Minister of Economic Affairs, is in Sumatra and is
trying to form new cabinet there which will ask for De jute
recognition.

(B) To keep the question alive at the United Nations, Minister of
Finance has gone to Paris for this purpose.

(C) To seek as much practical assistance as possible from India
and Pakistan which have refused K.L.M. transit rights. India has
also promised equipment and all aid short of war.

Will report daily for the time being any information from the
republican broadcasts, mentioned above. Although Malayan leaders
here have made no public statement on the situation Malayan Press
is now demanding Economic [4] (sanctions) against the Dutch.
