Had long interview last night with Australian Prime Minister on his way westwards. He is anxious that three-party staff meeting shall take place early and agreed to Singapore as meeting place, In Batavia he met Dutch Governor General and informed me that latter is very anxious for definite plan of operations to be drawn up early. I have planned to pay a short visit N.E.I. and Australia starting 6th February and to commence Staff meeting Singapore 22nd February.
