Foreign Minister Joseph M. A

talks only on the condition that
the Papuan population Of the
Dutch territory will be granted

He said three right wing

that talks with Indonesia be

ditions.
Informed sources said the
United States has indicated
willingness to sit in on such

should be no conditions.
Mr.. Sukarno ordered total
