DEPARTMENT OF STATE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON April 8, 1949 SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS INDONESIA The Secretary has told Dutch Foreign Minister Stikker that in our view the heart of the Indonesian matter at this stage lies in the withdrawal of Dutch troops from Jogjakarta and allowing Republi- can military police to supplement the civil police in maintaining order. Stikker, who had earlier shown great sensitivity on this point, appeared to find our idea of supplementing civil police with "military police" acceptable. In general it was quite clear from the conversations that Stikker was seeking a way out of the Indonesia impasse. GREECE In commenting upon the views of the Chief of the British Imperial General Staff on the Greek situation, Ambassador Grady says that our representatives in Greece know the reasons for the lack of success in the past, are endeavoring to build a better trained and led Greek army and believe that the present Greek forces are adequate from the military point of view to clear Greece this year of organized banditry up to the border areas. He says that in the event of a Cominform victory in Yugoslavia the Greek army might not be able to deal with the situation even at its maximum possible size represented by full mobili- zation. GERMANY Complete agreement has been reached in the Foreign Ministers' talks here on all issues relating to the Occupation Statute for Germany and the fusion of the three western zones. The agreements made in London on dismantling of German plants and on prohibited and re- stricted industries in Germany were confirmed as was the agreement on the establishment of an international authority for the Ruhr. PALESTINE Bunche has confirmed to the UN Secretary General that Israeli troops have been withdrawn from Syria. DECLASSIFIED E.O. 12065, Sec. 3-402 State Dept.
