Indonesian “Police Action"
Dutch Attempting To Pioneer New Way In East-West Relations'
New York, Dec. 23.-Dr Herman J. Friedericy, Netherlands Government spokesman, in a Press con- ference today defended Dutch "police action" in Indonesia, saying the measures were taken to allay a Republican revolt, scheduled for January 1, which he described as "Communist-inspired.”.
Dr Friedericy declared that "The basis of the trouble is Communist influence” in Indonesia, despite successful repression by the Republican Government of the Communist uprising.
The spokesman said the interned Indonesian leaders would probably be released to return-to office after the administration had been rid of extremists. The Government, would then be run in co-operation with the Dutch Government for the forms tion of an independent Republic of Indonesia.
