373. Re composition of commission to observe cease fire order in Indonesia.
In Dept’s view, there might be advantage in commission’s consisting of representatives of governments which are members of Council and which have career consuls in Batavia in that such a commission could begin to function promptly. However, if Council will not accept this composition, Dept is agreeable to commission’s being composed either of all members of Council or of any combination thereof which would insure a balanced and impartial group.
