“When planes with hydro-

RED FLAGS

Dutch nationals
ordered to leave

DJAKARTA

The Indonesian government
has ordered thousands of
Dutch nationals to leave the
country; some 9,000 employees
of the Dutch government are
affected.

(At The Hague, the Indon-
esian action was interpreted
as meaning the progressive
expulsion of the entire Dutch
community except for “ex-
perts.” The Dutch government
has applied to the Intergov-
ernmental Commit ee for Eur-
Opean Migration fot shipping
space to evacuate Dutch na-
tionals.)

‘Dutch consulates throughout”
Indonesia ,have been ordered
by the Indonesian government
to close down.

Indonesian officials explain-
ed that the shutdown did not
mean that Indonesia had sev-
ered diplomatic relations with
Holland.

(Indonesian Foreign Minister
Subandrio said in Paris last

December 13, 1957 —

week that Indonesia wou'd
break off relations with Hol-
land, unless these re'ations
could be “normalized.” He
said Indonesia wanted some-
thing like Britain’s relation-
ships with India.)

The army has ordered work-

authority but it is not clear

the places already occupied.
