"Must Succeed"
DELEGATES' DETERMINATION
The Hague, Sept. 15. All three delegations — Republicans, Federalists and Dutch agree that the round-table conference on Indo- nesia, though stalled after four weeks' very slow progress, must be mado to succeed.
.
The conference is still in the tactical stage and no group has yet put all its cards on the table.
With much bargaining still to be done, Dr Mohammed Hatta, Republican leader, told Router today, "There is no question of 'if' the conference succeeda. It just must succeed.”

The Dutch are still more cau- tious and feel it would be un- wise to raise too many hopes by starting transfer prepara- tions until it is certain that full settlement in principles and de- tails has been reached.
So far the role of the United Nations Commission has been largely that of a passive obser- ver. But it is expected to become much more active soon and, if necessary, will draw up compromise proposals on points where agreement now scoms impossible-Reuter,
