Western Mail (Perth), 18 Aug 1949, reprint of Denis Warner's article presenting the Feb 1948 Calcutta youth conference as a Moscow-directed 'blueprint' for Asian revolution. Indonesian delegate Francisca Fanggidaej is listed among the 'guests'; Warner says there is little to show 'his' politics and doubts Indonesian independence was Communist-controlled. Cold War framing; Gerwani not named.

Western Mail (Perth), 18 Agustus 1949, cetak ulang artikel Denis Warner yang menggambarkan konferensi pemuda Calcutta (Feb 1948) sebagai 'cetak biru' revolusi Asia dari Moskow. Delegasi Indonesia Francisca Fanggidaej disebut sebagai 'tamu'; Warner ragu akan politiknya dan menilai gerakan kemerdekaan Indonesia tidak dikendalikan komunis. Bingkai Perang Dingin; Gerwani tidak disebut.

“There is little in the dossier of Francisca Fanggidae, of Indonesia, to indicate the true nature of his politics. It is not safe to assume that he was, or is, a Communist. (p. 10)”
