INDIES REPUBLICANS CHARGE DUTCH WITH INTENT TO DE5TR0Y
Preparations Ordered for Prolonged Warfare
 in Islands

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 19-tR- The Indonesian Government charg- ed today that the Dutch were de- termined to destroy the war-born East Indies Republic.
 Taking the floor in the Security Council after the Soviet Union ac- cused the United States of making a dangerous and disrespectful at tempt to bypass the United Ma tions, former Premier Sutan Sjahrir declared
 Tt is clear to us that Dutch military actions are aimed at the destruction of the Republic. Sub sequent Dutch professions of a desire to negotiate with us are neither understandable nor con- vinc.ng, Everything points to one conclusion and on conclusion only, namely, that the Dutch are fully determined to put an end to the Indonesian Republic
 Sjahrir said his country had no faith in the honesty of the Dutch government and again appealed to the United Nations for investiga- tion and arbitration.
 Tn Jogjakarta, the Commander in Chief of the Indonesian Republic forces meanwhile broadcast an order to his troops to prepare for pro- longed warfare. The announcement came from Batavia after the Dutch reported there that drastic retalia- tory measures" had been taken against the 1ndonesian forces.
 Russia said here that the only solution would be for the Council to set up a commission to investi- gate and arhitrate the conflict.
