Indonesians Push War Move as Red Leaders Seek Chaos
Indonesian Communist leaders urge Sukarno to strike at the Dutch, hoping war would fail and usher Reds to power.

Diplomatic reports show Jakarta policy confusion amid renewed talks attempts with the Netherlands and third party involvement by the Philippines. Dutch commanders in West New Guinea vow to defend, noting Indonesia would face 1,200 miles of sea to mount any invasion.
