Seretse refuses proposals for abdication

London, February 21.

Saretse Khama, African Prince who married a white .

wife, has rejected a British plea to give up his throne for the sake of Empire unity.

He has told British Government leaders that his future is in the hands of the Bamangwato people who elected him chief last year in Bechuanaland.

TOLL OF

FIGHTING

IN JAVA

Jakarta, February 22, A total of 1,240 Indonesian soldiers have been killed defending a West Java city invaded by followers of the Darul Islam.

The battle for Tasikmalaja, be, tween the Indonesian Army and the fanatical Moslemn movement which aims to set up an Islamic state of Indonesia, has been rag- ing for the past 10 days, over since Dutch forces withdrew and left defences to the Republican Army.

President Soekarno said last week that forces under the Dutch renegade, R. P. P. (Turk) Wes- terling, have infiltrated into the Darul Islam. The movement is a potent rebel force in West Java, Indonesia's major trouble spot. Delayed reports reaching here gove this picture:

ELECTION INFLUENCE ON PACIFIC TREATY

London, February 21..

Thursday's General Election will largely determine

Britain's viewpoint on the Pacific Pact - ad- vocated by Australia's Minister for External Affairs, Mr. Percy Spender, on which the major contesting parties have different ideos, official sources said today.

They recalled that the British Labour Government gave a cool reception to the proposals by the Philippine President, Elpidio Quirino, for a Pacific Pact last year.
