 Poland and Lithuania then agreed to enter into direct negotia- tions for the settlement of their diff ferences. The agreement provided that the action would in no way
 
 governments have differences of opinion" This meant that the ar- rangement would not affect Po- : lands occupation of Wilma, which Lithuania contests.
 Poland agreed to respect the in- dependence of Lithuania while Pre- mier Waldemaras agreed that Lith- uania would not consider herself in a state of war with Poland.

members are government function
aries. The Volksraad is sham, so
this majority" is only trick to
keep the Indonesians quiet.
Meanwhile this conciliatory policy
of the government towards the right
wing of the nationalist movement
has brought about a certain unrest
among the Dutch colonials, who
feel that they are living on a vol
ca-o. Since the last uprising they
have been dominated by the spirit
of vengeance. Even the officials
have been affected. During the
session of the Volksraad last wear,
the Assistant-Resident, Meyer Ran
neft, who represents the Dutch
colonials in that body, urged the
adoption of strictly hostile atti-
tude towards the extremists. He
proposed the creation of an "effi-
cicnt centralized apparatus" kind
of department for internal war, to
supply the police with "hand-
renades, machine-guns, etc"
Further, he said that the Dutch in
Indonesia must imagine them
selves to be in a continual state of
wa and consequently must adopt
offensive tactics" His method of
dealing with the rebels" was:
"Strike them down without mercy"
Racial Antagonist Growing.
The racial antagonism between
the exploiter and the ex-
plotted is the cause of this spirit of
vengeance shown by the Dutch COL
Onial civil servants. But such a
spirit only serves to promote con-
flicts between the government and
the people.
The Dutch colonial press has also
been very much alarmed. Nearly all
the Dutch newspapers in Indonesia,
especially "Het News van den
Dag" have been carrying on a vim
dsctive campaign against the In
donesians and advising the govern
