According to a report of the Antara news agency, the Indonesian Students' Movement [Gerakan Mahasiswa], the Federation of Indonesian Students' Organisations and the Indonesian Students' Movement Alliance on the 14th issued a joint statement condemning the American stand at the United Nations of siding with the Dutch proposal for "self-determination" in West Irian. The statement said that this proposal would split West Irian off from Indonesia. The statement refuted the so-called "neutral" attitude the United States claims to take on the West Irian question. The statement pointed out: "The United States is in fact not neutral at all." The statement said that the United States' relations with the Netherlands in NATO also prove that the position it occupies does not allow it to remain neutral on the West Irian question. The Antara news agency also reported that the Indonesian Central Organisation of Trade Unions, in its telegram to R. Kennedy, also condemned the United States for helping the Netherlands maintain its colonial rule over West Irian. Antara also said that at R. Kennedy's meeting with trade union leaders on the 13th, a representative of the Indonesian Democratic United Trade Union expressed regret that the United States allowed the Netherlands to ship troops to West Irian through American territory. According to the "East Star" [Bintang Timur], the Indonesian Public Works Union telegraphed R. Kennedy protesting the US government's support for the Dutch forcible seizure of West Irian and demanding that the United States stop all aid to the Netherlands. The Indonesian Women's Movement Association [Gerwani, 印度尼西亚妇女运动协会] delivered to the American embassy a letter of protest to R. Kennedy. R. Kennedy gave a speech at the University of Indonesia on the 14th. According to Antara, as he was walking up to the rostrum a student threw a paper-wrapped parcel of eggs at him. Students also questioned him about the American attitude on the West Irian question. According to Antara and the Indonesian news agency, when R. Kennedy entered the great hall of Gadjah Mada University in Jogjakarta on the morning of the 15th to deliver a speech, students shouted slogans: "Recover West Irian!" Slogans reading "West Irian belongs to the Indonesian people" were also pasted on the walls of the great hall. Xinhua, Jakarta, 15th – Radio Indonesia today commented on the question put by US Attorney General Robert Kennedy, who is visiting here, as to what means Indonesia would adopt to recover West Irian, saying: "The Indonesian nation will recover West Irian in the manner in which the Netherlands established its rule in Indonesia." Robert Kennedy arrived in Jakarta on the 12th. According to a report of the Indonesian news agency on the 14th, in his meeting on the 13th with Indonesian Minister of State and Vice-Chairman of the Supreme Advisory Council Abdulgani, he raised the question of the manner in which Indonesia would recover West Irian. Radio Indonesia pointed out that the reality of Indonesia and the reality of Asia both show that colonialism in the world has not yet died. It still threatens world peace. The Indonesian people will continue the struggle to eliminate colonialism from the world. According to Antara, Abdulgani said to R. Kennedy in his meeting: "Americans should not have any doubt about the desire and will of the Indonesian people to take back their legitimate territory of West Irian." It was reported that Abdulgani also said, "The way to take back West Irian has already been prescribed by the order for the liberation of West Irian, which is now being carried out." He pointed out that the Indonesian people are a peace-loving people but love freedom even more. According to the Indonesian news agency, R. Kennedy also put to Abdulgani the question: "Is it somewhat risky to concentrate everything in the hands of President Sukarno?" The agency's report, quoting a communiqué issued by the American embassy in Jakarta, said that R. Kennedy, in his meeting on the 13th with President Sukarno and the ministers and officials of ministerial rank and above, said that the United States is "very concerned" about the West Irian question and hopes for a "peaceful settlement". He also said that the United States has "close friendly relations" with both Indonesia and the Netherlands. (People's Daily database material)
