On January 17th, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Republic of

Indonesia signed an agreement in the US Naval transport Renville, a ship which had been sent to by the United Nations to provide a meeting place for representatives of the two governments.

It means, in the first place, that there is to be peace 1n Indonesia. When the agreement was signed, the Commanding General or the Netherlands roroea and the Commanding General of the Republican fore es ordered their troops to stop fighting immedia.teq. In order to make sure that there wo1..1ld be no more fighting be:ta,eoa tea :twe Ml!B!i:ee, the Netherlands and the Republic of Indonesia agreed that Java and would for the time being be divided into areas under direct control of the Netherlands and areas under direct control or the Republic, and that neither army would be allowed to cross the dividing line into an area under the control of the other side. They also L1tLtt¼AMi agreed that the lines drawn in Java and Sumatra by theAGovernor-General on August 29th last year to show the extent of the areas over which the Nether­ lands claimed control would be accepted as the dividing lines. The troops on both sides of this line have bean ordered to stop all hostilities. They have also been ordered not to advance beyond their present forward positions except to carry out the duties of police, to keep order and to protect lives and property. The areas on both sides of the dividing lines bat1,reen the forward positions of the Netherlands forces and the forward positions or the Republican forces have been made into demilitarized zones. This means that -2- inside these zones there will be no military activity. For the time being, police iuties inside the demilitarized zones will be carried out by soldiers with special markings, but these soldiers will be under. the control of civil off'ioia.ls and will have on]¥ small weapons. h.A.vt.. b~ Arrangements &Pi l1ei ,cg ,nade to enable all soldiers of the Tentara (.11'(...r-t Nasional Indonesia who _.. in territory under the control of the Netherlands to cross the demilitarized zones to Republican controlled territory, taking .

In the second part of the agreement signed on Januar,r 17th, the Nether­ lands and the Republic of Indonesia together have announced certain decisions which will be of the utmost importance for the future of Indonesia.

That is the meaning of the truce signed on January 17th.

Therefore, there is no longer ruJ¥ reason for hostilities between the

Netherlands and the Republic of Indonesia .. From now on there will be

cooperation between them. They agree that Indonesia will become an indepen­ dent c01.D1try in a union with the Netherlands and that the peoples of Indonesia

will be governed according to their own desires. The Netherlands and the

Republic have decided that their disagreements can be settled by discussion

because both Governments are working for the same thing--a. prosperous, united, self-governing Indonesia in which the Republic will have its rightful part. Therefore, all people must now work together for the same things-peace~ 7"1-,.J. d .t$ it-rv.c.h ~ the reconstruction or Indonesia after the yea.rs of war.

If' you wish the people of your oountr,y to enjo/ peace and security, to have sufficient food, shelter, clothing;1 and other desirable things of life, and in the future to be represented in a free government of their own choosing, you must do everything in your power to see that the truce between the Nether­ lands and the Republic of Indonesia is carried out without violations and that there is friendship among all peoples throughout Indonesia.

The peoples of Indonesia and of the Netherlands, and the peoples of other countries as well, are hopeful that an end of strife has been reached -5-

in Indonesia so that Indonesia can prepare for the future. Do not disappoint these hopes.

A MESS GE TO THE PEOPLE OF INDONESIA FROM THE UNITED NATIONS' C61'llliITTEE OF GOOD OFFICES OM THE INOONESI ' QUEsrION

On 17 January, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Republic of Indonesia signed an agreement on board the U. S. Naval transport Renville, a ship which had been sent to Java by the United Nations to provide a meeting place for representa- . tives of the two goverm.ents. There are two parts to this agreement. The first art is a truce agreement. The second pa.rt is an agreement on a basis for a political settlement. 'Bhat does this agreement mean? It means, in the first place, that there is to be peace in Indonesia. When the agreement was signed, the Commanding General of the Netherlands .forces and the Commanding General of the Republican forces order6d their troops to stop fightirg

i rcruec iatel • In orde t o make sur e that t ere woul be no more fighting, the Netherlands and the Republic of Indonesia agreed that Java and Sumatra would for the time being be divided into areas under direct control of the Netherlands and areas under direct control of the Republic, and that neither army would be allowed to cross the dividing line into an area under the control of the other side. They . also agreed that the lines drawn in Java and Sumatra by the Lieutenant Governor­ General on 29 August last year to show the extent of the areas over which the Netherlands claimed control would be accepted as the dividing lines. The troops on both sides of this line have been ordered to stop all hostilities. They have also been ordered not to advance beyond their present for-ward ·positions except to carry out the duties of poli ce, to keep order and to protect lives and property.

The areas on both sides of the dividing lines between the forward positions 0£ the Netheriands forces and the forward positions of the Republican' forces have been made into demilitarized zones. This means that inside these zones there will be no military activity. For the time being, police duties inside the demilitarized zones will be carried out by soldiers with special markings, but these soldiers will be under the control of civil officials and will have only small weapons .

Arrangements have been made to enable all soldiers of the Tentara Nasional Indonesia -who were in territory under the control of the Netherlands to cross the demilitarized zones to Republican-controlled territory, taking with them all their arms and military equipment . Thirty thousand Republican combatants have been ' transported to the Republican side of the demilitarized zones, taking their·fiags and their weapons. - 2 - The Netherlands d the Republic of Indonesia have -a.greed not only to stop all fighting but also to prohibit all other war-like actions, including the destruc­ tion of property and threats and reprisals a ainst people. In the second part of the agreement signed on 17 January, the Netherlands and the Republic of Indonesia together have annmunced certain decisions which will be of the utmost importance for the future of Indonesia. They agree that for the present the Netherlands is sovereign over.all Indonesia. They also agree that upon a certain d2te, which is to be announced, Indonesia will become an independent federated country as an equal partner in a Union with the NetherJ.ands. The Republic will be one of the states which will make up the United States of Indonesia. In the mean­ time, the Netherlands and the Republic of Indonesia will continue discussions with the assistance of the Committee of Good Offices of the United Nations. Both sides ope that these discussions will soon produce a further and final agreement on all matters not yet settled. The Netherlands and the Republic !If have already agreed that plebiscites will be held which will show whether the peoples of the different territories of Java, Madura. and Sumatra wish their territory to be part of the Repub- lie of Indonesia or to be part of another state within the United States of Indonesia Every man will have a chance to express his desire, by casting a vote. Voting in the plebiscite will be secret. Everyone will be free to vote exactly as he wishes, without the knowledge of anyone else. Should either the Netherlands or the Republic so desire, the plebiscite will be held under the observation of the Conmittee of Good Offices. Before the plebiscite is held, you will receive full information about the question to be decided from leaders of both sides -- that is, those 'Who will appeal to you to vote for your territory to join the Republic and those who will appeal to you to vote for your territory to be in another state. They will be free to address you, to distribute pamphlets among you, and to set forth their arguments in the newspapers and over the radio. You will have ample opportunity to hear these argu­ :iµen sand make up your mind before you vote in the plebiscite. Sometime after the results of the plebiscite are known , a convention will be chosen denlOcratically to draw up a constitution for the United States of Indonesia. All parts of Indonesia ill be represented in this convention. The number of repre- • sentatives that each state will send will depend upon its population. The states with the largest populations will have the most representatives. - J -

Because the peoples of Indonesia will have the opportunity to express their wishes through the plebiscite and through the constitutional convention, it is they who will decide how they wish to be governed in the future, when the .United States of Indonesia becomes an independent country. That is the meaning of the truce signed on 17 January. Therefore, there is no longer any reason for hostilities between the Nether­ lands and the Republic of Indonesia. From now on there will be cooperation between them. They agree that Indonesia will become an independent country in a union with the Netherlands and that the peoples of Indonesia will be governed according to their own desires. The Netherlands and the Republic have decided that their disagreements can be settled by discussion because both Governments are working for the same thing - a prosperous, united, self-governing Indonesia in which the Republic will have its rightful part. Therefore, all people must now work together for the same things - peace and the reconstruction of Indonesia after the years of war. The destruction of buildings, the damaging of bridges and railroads, will mean fewer of the necessitie~ of life for the peoples of this country, less food, fewer clothes, greater hardships. Every disorder; every act of violence will postpone the time when the soldiers of both the Netherlands and the ,aepu.blic can return to their peaceful occupations and to their families and will delay the day when the Unit4d States of Indonesia will take its place among the free nations of the world.

If you wish the people of your country to enjoy peace and security, to have sufficient food, shelter, cl:othing, and other desirable things of life, and in the future to be represented in a free government of their own choosing, you must do everything in your power to see that the truce between the Net erl ands and the Republic of Indonesia is carried out without violations and that. there is friend­ ship among all peoples throughout Indonesia. The peoples of Indonesia and of the Netherlands, and the peoples of other countries av well, are hopeful that an end of strife has been reached in Indonesia so that Indonesia can prepare for the future.

Do not disappoint these hopes.
