London, December 13.
The Netherlands Government's decision to suspend negotiations with the Indonesian Republic may hamper the combined efforts of interested Governments, including Brl- tain, to combat Communism in South East Asia.

Observers pointed to the more far-reaching question of whether the Communists, operating in the territory of the Republic may not gain renewed strength from the pre- sent breakdown in relations.-Reuter,
