INDONESIA AGREEMENT

IS GIVEN APPROVAL

Dutch Government States Attitude

The Hague, May 12.-The Dutch Govern. ment was fully prepared to accept the recent agreement between The Netherlands delega- tion in Indonesia and the Republican leaders, Mr. J. H. Van Maarseveen, the Minister for Overseas Territories; announced in the Dutch Second Chamber today.

The Minister was making a statement on the results of the Dutch-Republican Indonesia negotiations at Batavia, which were held under the auspices of the United Nations Com- mission for Indonesia.

The Minister said that goodwill and sin- cere intentions must now be the dominating factors for the future, and expressed satisfac- tion that the Federalist Convention in Indo- nesia had fully endorsed the agreement reached.

***There has been a great change

INVITED BY PRES. TRUMAN

Washington, May 12, The White House announced today that the Indian Prime Minister, Mr Jawaharlal Nehru, had accepted an invitation to visit the United States and probably would arrive here in October.

The White House said President Truman first invited Mr Nehru "about a year ago" but the Prime Minister was not able "to make a visit last year because of the pressure of off- cial duties in India."
