to Dutch patience and Indonesian good sense. After the bitter fighting of the past few years, the goodwill and co- operation shown in the closing stages of Indonesia's fight for independence were remarkable. At times the Hague negotin- tions were held up-the chief cause of disagreement being financial-but both sides showed a commendable willingness to compromise, and there was never a real fear that the Conference would fail Only one point remains in dispute the future of Dutch New Guinea, Both sides have agreed that for the time being the Dutch shall maintain direct rule over the area, and negotiations are to be opened In- within a year to decide its future. doncsian leaders have expressed. disappointment that the New Guinea problem has not been solved, but if the amicable spirit of the Hague talks is carried on, this dispute should not attain, serious proportions.
