Events in Indonesia (conclusion): Harahap government and mass organisations
De Waarheid, 8 Oct 1955, p. 3: final part of Cor Geugjes's series on events in Indonesia, arguing the Harahap government (which replaced Ali Sastroamidjojo) is resisted: elections could not be postponed, New Guinea was raised at the UN, and preliminary results defeat Masjumi and PSI. Cites PKI (500,000), SOBSI (3 million), BTI, Pemuda Rakjat and Gerwani as large mass organisations; Gerwani appears only in this list.

Menyebut PKI (500.000), SOBSI (3 juta), BTI, Pemuda Rakjat, dan Gerwani sebagai organisasi massa besar; Gerwani hanya muncul dalam daftar.
“Er zijn verder de BTI, de Pemuda Rakjat, de Gerwani (vrouwenbeweging), die alle zeer grote aantallen leden in hun rijen tellen (p. 3).”
