|ndonesian Leaders
Get Renewed Offer
OF u. ). Good Offices
BY the Associotsd Press

The United States gave Indone.
sian republican leaders one more
chance yesterday to get together
with the Dutch under American
auspices for direct and peaceful
settlement-outside the United Ma.
tions-of their small-scale war.
simultaneously this country eau.
toned Indonesia that any attempt
on its part to specify "a particular
method of settlement" would leave
the United States with no alterna-
tive other than informing the United
Nations Security Council that In.
donesia had rejected the offer Of
American help.
This country's position was laio
down in note made public by the
State Department. It has beer
handed to A. K. Gani, Vice Premier
of the 1ndonesia republic, by Walter
A. Foote, thes American Consul
General at Batavia.
In an accompanying statement
the department declared that the
Indonesian authorities, perhaps
from a misunderstanding of the
nature of our tender of our Offices,
have, in effect, rejected the original
offer to serve as a go-between.
Such a role would be the extent
of United States participation, the
statement went on, adding the good
offices" are designed to bring both
parties together without delay To
work out an equitable solution be-
tween themselves"
The Dutch accepted the offer q
day after 1t was extended on July
81. Communication difhculties pre-
vented itss4xeseratatiofi to Indones
sian republican leaders until August
Z. They replied with q statement
of acceptance. =
This acceptance, however, was
qualified with a request that the
United States use its influence with
the Dutch and the Security Council
in favor Of their own proposal that
an international arbitration COM
mission be dispatched without de-
lay" to Indonesia.
The United States then sent Mr.
Foote by plane to Jogjakarta, capi-
tai of Indonesia, to repeat the
offer. Once again, on August II
the Indonesians informed Mr.. Foote
that they wanted arbitration by the
Security Council.
To eliminate the possibility OF any
misunderstanding, Mr. Foote then
was instructed to obtain IAN i'm
mediate reply" on Indonesia's will
ingness to accept this country's
offer without qualification.
The note made public today said
1T, therefore, the Indonesian
authorities are willing to accept, as
the Netherlands government has
done, the good Offices of the United
States in bringing about direct nego-
tiations, the United States will be
glad TO pursue the matter further.
IF, on the other hand, the Indo-
nesian authorities insist upon speci-
flying particular method of settle
ment, as they have heretofore done
without taking into account whether
it would be acceptable to the other
party, our offer of good Offices
necessarily lapses"

ment said the councils action was
designed to put an immediate end
to the lAwless state of affairs which
prevails" in the Punjab, the scene
Of recent bitter communal fighting
between Moslems and Hindu Sikh
elements.
The decision was made by the

strong plea from both the Indian
and the MoSlem Pakistan dominion
governments on their first day Of in
dependence yesterday for peace,
particularly in the disturbed prov
tnces Of Punjab and Bengal.
Dispatches from Lahore. capital
OF Punjab, said the Inauguration of

A boundary commission report es-
tablishing line across Punjab be-
tween India and Pakistan has not
yet been issued.
Addressing crowd of $4,000 at a
flag raising ceremony Mr.. Nehru de-
clared In broadcast that "a govern
ment unable to check such inhuman
acts Is not worthy of occupying this
seat. 1t Is the first and sacred duty
OF this government to restore peace
and order in the country"
To-day we are a free nation, but
the horrible deeds and acts COM
mitted in this country are disgrace
ful," he continued.
Pays Tribute to Bose.
Mr.. Nehru praised Mohandas K.
Gandhi as the "greatsoul who
launched the freedom movement
and guided us throughout the dark
period of our struggle"
He also paid tribute to Subhas
Chandra Bose as that great patriot
and national hero who unfurled this
tricolor (the Indian national flag)
on foreign soil and fought against
British imperialism"
Bose organized the Indian Ma
tional Army" in Burma during the
japanese occupation of that coun-
try. He was killed in an airplane
