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troops have been withdrawn from Syria.
