Dutch Accept
New Guinea
Negotiations
No Prior Terms;
Sukurno Sets Up
Invasion Plans

THE HAGUE, Netherlands,
Jan. 2 (AP).-The Dutch gov
eminent announced its willing
ness to discuss the future of
West New Guinea with Indo-
nesia without setting condi-
tions beforehand.
Premier Jan de Quay read
the government declaration in
the lower house of parliament
at the start of debate on West
New Guinea, last remnant of
Hollands East Indies colonial
empire which Indonesia has
threatened to invade. President
Sukarno yesterday proclaimed
the disputed territory a pro-
vince of Indonesia and ordered
a special military command
set up to direct the invasion if
he orders it.
Mr.. de Quay said the Neither
lands is willing to enter into
negotiations without making
self determination of New
Guinea's Papuan population a
prerequisite. Previously the
Dutch had said they would ne
gotiate only if the Papuans
were assured the right of self
determination.
Pressed by Labor Party
The Labor Party opposition
| had been pressing the govern
ment to announce willingness
to relinquish the territory and
then to negotiate for some
autonomy for the Papuans.
Foreign Minister Subandrio Of
Indonesia recently said Indo-
nesia might consider giving
West New Guinea "a great
measure of autonomy"
Reports from the Indonesian
capital said that despite the
proclamation by Mr.. Sukarno,
Indonesian military leaders ia
vor postponing any D-day until
Il late this year when they expect
their forces to be strengthened
by ships and planes acquired
from Communist bloc countries
Mr.. de Quay said the Neither
lands decision not to make self
determination for the 100000
Papuan population a prerequi-
site for negotiations Ibid not
detract anything from her con-
viction that the interests OF
the population must be kept ir
mind in the first place"
Reference to T.. s.
He said he could not give
any further information on
diplomatic discussions with
other powers" - an apparent
reference to the United States
The Dutch previously asked
the United States to help ir
getting the dispute settled by
negotiations.
Mr.. de Quay said that since
"these third powers also have
sought contact with Indonesia
any statement by him might
imperil the eventual success O.
these consultations.
The Premier stressed thai
the Netherlands preferred tina
negotiations be conducted lin {
broad connection" meaning
that he would like the Co
operation of several countries
probably the United Nations.

~ Hours

MOSCOW, Jan. 2 (AP).-
United States Ambassador L
Llewellyn Thompson and So
Wet Foreign Minister Andrei
A. Gromyko conferred 2la (
hours today on Berlin. 1t was :
the first step in new attempt l
to reach a basis agreeable to {
both sides for negotiations
about the divided city.
Emerging from the Foreign
Ministry. Mr.. Thompson de-
clined to say how the meeting
went.
He told Western newsmen
he definitely plans to see Mr..
Gromyko again on the sub
ject of Berlin, but he does net
expect these preliminary meet
ings to last long. If profitable
foundation is found, the next
step is expected to be a Foreign
Ministers conference.
Radio Moscow and the Soviet
news agency Tass made no i'm
mediate mention of the days
development.
Reports to Allies
After reporting to the United
States State Department in
Washington, Mr.. Thompson
telephoned the British,
French and West German
ambassadors and filled them in
on the results of his talk with
Mr.. Gromyko. He plans to have
a further conference with the
three at his embassy tomorrow.
The Thompson -Gromyko talk
took place on the seventh floor
of the Foreign Ministry, a
spired skyscraper on Smolensk
Square. The table contained
nothing to eat or drink.
Mr.. Thompson took Kempton
Jenkins, Embassy second Sec
retary specializing in German
affairs, to the meeting. Mr..
Gromyko was accompanied by
Ivan I. Ilyichev. a Soviet For
eign Ministry official who was
formerly Ambassador to East
Germany.
In Washington State Depart
ment officials said a report
from Mr.. Thompson was ex-
pected late today.
They said, however, that
comment from the department
would be very unlikely at this
early stage of an expected
? series of talks.
Instructed by Kennedy
President Kennedy has in
structed Mr.. Thompson to

April invasion a debacle, saying
it frightened Premier Castro so
much that his warlike activi-
ties outside Cuba ceased since
that date" And, he added:
President Kennedy still has
the responsibility of a sequel
He did not elaborate, but gave
the idea that he was talking
about something possibly to
come from a meeting of hemi-
sphere foreign ministers in
Uruguay later this month.
Secret Base Set Up
AS to the April invasion, he
said, I'VE encouraged thousands
of exiled Cubans to fight to re-
gain their. own homeland in
stead of lamenting their ILL
fortune. This is the first time
my government has spoken of
training armed Cuban contin-
gents of sound anti-Castro
faith in Guatemala. We reached
an understanding with exiled
Cuban leaders and they entered
into arrangements with a
friendly government able to
give arms and sustain training
and a military campaign"
He said a secret training base
was set up-near the town OF
Northumberland another oper-
ated openly and when the
"climactic hour arrived Cuban
troops were sent into combat
on April II, 1861, and the battle
Iof Bahia de Cochinos CBay OF
Pigs developed"
Mr.. Ydigoras said the out
come of the fight at Bay OF
Pigs was a debacle only from
the point Of view of "pro-
Communists embedded in the
press and some public offices
in the United States" but ii
Evening star., 1962-01-02

was a great victory from the
point of view of those who
really know about war and
tactics because it scared Fidel
Castro so much that his war
like activities outside Cuba
ceased since that date"
He also said the Guatemalan
government maintained the re-
serve which is proper in such
cases, but the North Americans
became "hysterical, as happens
to them when they suffer a
setback" and their noisy press
and the gringo pro-Com-
munists" stirred things up and
created an atmosphere of
"defeatism and debacle." This,
he said, led to ungentlemanly
recriminations from journalists
and officials and they forgot
themselves to the point of
naming Guatemala as the
source of the invasion.
Sequel Responsibility
"Such brazenness has never
been seen," Mr.. Ydigoras said,
However, as was to be eX-
pected, President K e nne dy
with the gesture of a great
statesman, shouldered the re-
sponsibility but President
Kennedy still has the respon-
sibility of a sequel neither
cleared up nor fulfilled: The
commitment made to Guate-
mala."
It is not clear what commit
ment he meant, but presumably
it is this:

tory, not a defeat, and he who
begins under such auspices
