State Department officials. said
they had never meant to imply
otherwise and would sbc glad to
satisfy the British on tl,is point.
In addition. the State Depart
ment has told Britain informally.
it was learned, that, 1t viii omit
any written ban against sending
homemade military equipment
outside the North Atlantic area.
In the original American draft,
the United States had suggested
that each country agree to con-
suit first with the United States
before making any important
military shipments outside the
North Atlantic area.
Britain questioned this on the
grounds that it might interfere
with sending military equipment,
when needed. to such areas as
Malaga and the Middle East.
The State Department now has
decided to leave out any refer
ence to this at all. It Is taking
the position that 1t can always
object through its representative
on the North Atlantic Council
when 1t believes such shipments
are weakening the total defense
forces In the North Atlantic area.

sized, however. that the ban
against transferring any Ameri-
can military equipment without

In an earlier special theory Of

had shown that space and time
instead Of being separate, were

President Will Return
To Work Today After
christmas Infer|ude
by The Associated Press

INDEPENDENCE. Mo-. Dec. H.
The fun Of walking and talking
with old friends is about over for
President Truman. II.
After three days Of doing Just
what he wanted to during q brief
Christmas holiday vacation In his
home State, Mr.. Truman planned
to get in some work today in his
Muehlebach Hotel penthouse
apartment In Kansas City.
Charles q. Ross, presidential
press secretary, told reporters that
while the President intended to
do considerable work. nothing
urgent was expected to, come be-
fore him until he returns to
Washington tomorrow. .s
The President still must put the
final touches on three major mes
sages to Congress-state Of the
Union, economic report and the
budget.
win Talk With Leaders.
Presumably. however, this will
be done in Washington after last
minute talks with top Govern
ment leaders and congressional
leaders. :
No schedule has been finally de-
eided on for the delivery Of the
three messages. Mr.. Truman,
however. has indicated that he ex-
poets them to be given In this
order: State Of the Union. eco.
nomic and budget. :.
The state Of Union message may
be delivered January 4, the day
after the next Congress convenes.
Yesterday Mr.. Truman pre-
sented a statute Of Andrew Jack
son to his home county. Miss
Margaret Truman, the Presidents
daughter. unveiled the statue with
about $500 Jackson County resi-
dents looking on.
Makes Brief Talks.
After the ceremonies in sub
freezing temperatures on the
jackson County Courthouse lawn;
the President went inside the
building for the unveiling OF q
large picture Of himself.
Mr.. Truman spoke briefly at
both events, but said nothing OF
q controversial nature.
Following q custom he started
in 1918, Mr.. Truman dropped in
on the Masonic lodge at nearby
Grandview, Mo-, last night to In
stall its new officers. Except for
the time he was away In World
War I, he has done this every

Freedomfo Indonesia
Is Setback for Russia,
U. n. Diplomats Think
BY the Assoeiafsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Dec. 27.-In
the eyes Of the Communist
world the Soviet Union suffered a
sharp diplomatic setback with the
Transformation today of the old
Netherlands East Indies colonies
into the sovereign United States
of Indonesia.
Western diplomats say MoScow's
defeat is twofold, and explain 1t
this way:
i. The birth of the new nation
in the South Pacific serves as a
testimonial to the fact that the
non-C Communist nations in gen.
eral. and the Dutch in particular.
can give more than lip service to
the democratic principles they
profess. This fact is expected to
have considerable impact on world
public opinion.
2. The U. S. I. comes into being
after four years of guerrilla war
fare and chaos. That means the
removal from one part of the
world of the type Of environment
in which communism flourishes.
Reds Seen Exploiting Strife.
The non-C Communist world S
attitude on the second point was
expressed by American Delegate
Warren r. Austin during the dis
cussion on Indonesia in the 1949
General Assembly. Mr.. Austin
said:
1.-THE continuation of disputes is
essential for the promotion of the
Cominform's expansionist ambi-
tions. BY the nature Of the case
international communism mush-
rooms in dissension. strife and
chaos"
It is apparent also that the set
. tlement of the Dutch Indonesian
dispute, under the leadership of q
u. N. conciliation commission, has
reflected credit on the United Ma
tions and given the U. N. valuable
experience in dealing with prob
lens Of this type. ~.
Is Russia aware Of her defeat?
Obviously she is, judging by the
line of approach used by Soviet
bloc delegates at the u. N.
Reds Charge Plunder Is Aim.
The Soviet spokesmen tried-and
are still trying-to discredit the
Dutch and Indonesian negotiators
who concluded The Hague agree
ment which brought about the
establishment of the U. S. I. as an
independent nation linked to the
Netherlands under the Dutch
crown.
The Indonesian leaders were
pictured by the Soviet delegates as
TRAITORS who sold out their own
people" Soviet Deputy Foreign
Minister Jacob A. Malik described
The Hague agreement as "a broad
plan of plundering Indonesia" in
the interests Of America, the
Netherlands and other countries
In the Marshall Plan.
Because OF the Soviet Unions
veto power in the Security Coun-
Gil, the new nation is believed to
have little chance of gaining U. N.
membership In the foreseeable
future.
