Mr. Palar told the press the Dutch statement of policy WIS designed to avold:

2. Negotiating with the Re- publie na n party in a dispute be- fore the Security Council,
3. Withdrawing Dutch troops. All these were called for by the Security Council resolutions, Mr. Palar added,
"In the Dutch plum, final au- thority would rest with the Dutch. The Dutch statement claims that sovereignty will be recorded to the United States of Indonesia. However, the Netherlands Ambas- sador to the United States has already pointed out that in these round-table discussions the Netherlands Government will be bound by limitations of the recent amendment to the Dutch constitu- tion, which was formulated by an all-Dutch com
commission and which does not give a single guarantee of sovereignty: for the United States of Indonesia.
