The Republican delegation's letter added that the representative of the Republican Government to the Secwity Council hwl been instructed to aek for a discus8ioo of the mattar at a fo&hcoming nsetiag on the Indonesian question or to ask for a ageclal aeasion. 3. Following an informs1 exchange of views betveen the pertlee and the Cozv&ttse of Good Offices, the ReGublicsn delegation's letter wa3 dieCuSesd at the 24th meting of tts Zteoring Conunittee on 31 by. At this meetiig both delegations outlined their views with regard to the Federal Conference as follows: Dr. %C@Tg(Nietl~eria&s b3L3gt~ia;l) notsd that the Republican letter or r,rotsst -badbeen written on 23 N-3. The BandungConference we23opened on 27 May and Dr. van Mook, ths Lt. Gawnor-General had on thst occasion msdsa lsngthy etatsment on the nature end aims of the C,onP3rsnce. Dr. Koets quoted the following passzgs Pros Dr. van Mook'a fqeech a.8 beIng rel3vva;lt to the discussion. "This may be the place to stats that the controversltie which Zseb the Republic rind UB divided would grove to be un+ortent if both sidss, but the Reg1bU.c in Rarticniar, had confidants in the athar party and would not always doubt matters that are agreed uson in principle." Dr. Hosts stated that the view of tho Nethorlsnds aslsgatiiln was that the B?nclung Confersnca was merely consultative, as evidenced by i-ta set-up and the wording of the invitations aant out to the articiwnts sometime ago. He maintained that certain alle@iona contained in the Republican protast were !&ounded in point of Zact and had bean caused by that /lack of losk z.1' :c::iidenc3 rsferred ta by t!z Lt.

He snncluded by stating that in the opinion of his delegation tL2r3 ~9s nothing in the set-up or in the holding of tha Randung Conference t!lat was in contrsvantion of eithe: the spirit or the letter o1 the Renville Principles. He d.seply regretted that the only er@menta shL?h, so far as he could see, the Republican dela,;stion Is;;'; fW%zd in suzFort of their allega%.ons were imIzeEslcn3 and not facts. Er. RORM{Republican delegation) said hs could not accept the statement of Dr. Poets that the Republican delegation's actions were based on a lack of confidence. His party had at all times endeavoured to act in sinceretg; but if in the present case the Republican aeleCstion had thought it fit to exercise the right given them to re_nrt directly to the 3ecurity Council it was because of the actions and pronouncementsof the Netherlands C-3vernmant. Even on the basis of Dr. Iioetsl argument that the Netherlands Cavernment had the right to consult jrhomsoever it deemednecessary, he thought such a consultation oaed not have taken the form of an isqresaive and elaborate conference with an extensive programme. He believed that Dr. v&z Xookla remark that they could n i continue to wait for the Republic indicated clearpi L.at the BXXUng Conference had much more than a cznaultative significance and that indeed it greatly andangered the wor:z which the Farties had undertakan with the assistar,ce of the Committee of ti0a Offices. At the c;ncluoion of this mseti~g it tres decided that the Republican delegeti~n shzuld aubnit its rezorc, as planned, and that the ccz.ments of the C.zamitz.eeof Good 0fI'i:es and the ;:stherlands delegation should be foraarded s~~ulteneously. 4.

    Decolonization and the Military: the Case of the Netherlands A Study in Political Reaction Rob Kroes, University of Amsterdam I Introduction *) When taken together, title and subtitle of this paper may seem to suggest, but certainly are not meant to implicate, that only m ilitary circles are apt to engage in right-wing political activism. On the contrary, this paper tries to indicate what specific groups within the armed forces of the Netherlands had an interest in opposing Indonesian independence, and what strategic alliances they engaged in with right- w in g c ivilian circles. In that sense, the subject of the paper is rather “underground” civil-military relations, as they exist alongside the level of institutionalized civil- m ilitary relations. Our analysis starts from a systematic theoretical perspective which, on the one hand, is intended to specify our expectations as to what interest groups within and without the m ilitary tended to align in opposing Indonesian independence and, on the other hand, to broadly characterize the options open to such coalitions for influencing the course of events either in the Netherlands or in the Dutch East Indies. II The theoretical perspective In two separate papers2) a process model of conflict and radicalism has been developed and further specified to serve as a basis for the study of m ilitary intervention in domestic politics. The model, although social-psychological in its emphasis on the *) I want to express my gratitude to the following persons who have been willing to respond to my request to discuss the role of the military during the Indonesian crisis: Messrs.

  • American Model United Nations Commission of Inquiry of 1948
    American Model United Nations Commission of Inquiry of 1948 1 Final Report on the Situation in Indonesia, 27 May 1948 2 Overview 3 The Commission sought testimony from the Republic of Indonesia, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Premier 4 Malewa of the State of East Indonesia, and the Indonesian Consular Commission to discuss the allegations made 5 by all parties and discern negotiable terms. The body recorded all notable events that transpired over time, and it 6 oversaw the negotiations between the Republican and Dutch parties. 7 Witness Testimonies 8 The Commission heard the representative of the Republic of Indonesia on 23 January 1948. Speaking in 9 favor of adhering to the Renville Agreement, he initially expressed outrage at Dutch violations thereof, including 10 drawing the Van Mook Line generously in the Netherlands' favor and not aligning with Dutch-occupied territory in 11 reality; establishing semi-autonomous states with administrations favoring Dutch colonial rule; using the Agreement 12 as a front to prepare for potential offenses similar to those on 11 November 1947; and maintaining the blockade 13 on the Republic's territory, thereby depriving Indonesia of civilian assistance and economic aid. Nevertheless, the 14 representative assured the Commission that the Republic was still fully committed both to adhering to the Linggadjati 15 and Renville Agreements and to negotiating with the Dutch for a mutually-satisfactory resolution to the conflict. The 16 representative rebuffed claims that the Republic was supporting guerrilla forces operating in Dutch territory behind 17 the Line, stating that any guerrilla forces represented the widely popular opposition to Dutch colonial presence.

E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Received: 11.03.2020 Revised: 12.04.2020 Accepted: 28.05.2020 ABSTRACT: The history of banking in Indonesia can be answered in the following periods: 1) Period of Dutch colonial until Japanese occupation era (1827 - 8 March 1942). 2) Period of Japanese occupation until the Proclamation of Independence (8 March 1942 - 17 August 1945). 3) The Independence Period until the New Order year (Proclamation of 17 August 1945 until the issuance of the Banking Act of 1967/ 31 December 1967. 4) Period of banking after 31 December 1967. The Dutch colonial era in Indonesia arguably began in 1602, the establishment of VOC (Verenigde Oost Indische Companij). From the 19th century to 1942 (during the Japanese occupation), banks in Indonesia could be classified as follows: Netherlands-owned banks, England- owned banks, Chinese-owned banks, Japanese-owned banks and Native-owned banks. KEYWORDS: banking, monetary, Indonesia, government, central bank I. INTRODUCTION The Dutch East Indies government experienced various monetary difficulties as a legacy from the "Raffles administration" which ruled Indonesia for several years (1811-1816). The money circulating at that time was issued by the government. On 11 October 1827, De Javasche Bank was founded with first capital of one million guilders.

Commander-in-Chief of the Supreme Command for the Liberation of West Irian at a mass meeting in Jogjakarta, on 19th December 1961. DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA SPECIAL ISSUE, No.82 THE PEOPLE'S COMMAND, GIVEN BY THE PRESIDENT/SUPREME COMMANDER OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA, COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE SUPREME COMMAND FOR THE LIBERATION OF WEST IRIAN AT A MASS MEETING IN JOGJAKARTA, ON 19th DECEMBER 1961. Friends As was said by the Sultan just now, today, it is exactly 15 years since the day on which the city of Jogjakarta - or to be more exact, the Republic of Indonesia was attacked by the Dutch. Thirteen years ago there began what we call the second military action taken by the Dutch against the Republic of Indonesia. As all of you know, the military action which was begun here 13 years ago was the second, which means that we also underwent a first military action. And that first military action started on 21st July, 1947. But if it is viewed as a whole, seen as one historical event, then in fact we did not suffer, merely two military actions from the Dutch, the first on 21st July 1947, the second on 19th December 1948, No. In reality the Dutch, Dutch imperialism, on hundreds of occasions has taken military action against the Indonesian People. You know that the Dutch began to come here to Indonesia in 1596, when Admiral Cornelis De Houtman dropped anchor in Banten Bay.
