Hornets' Nest in Indonesia

The Dutch have embarked upon a program of "limited police measures," in Java and Sumatra, Indonesia which are neither "limited" nor "policing" in the usual sense of those words. From recent reports, it appears, rather, that the measures taken constitute a full-scale military action limited only by the number of Dutch troops, arms, and planes available and aiming ultimately at the unilateral enforcement of the Linggadjati agreement of March 25. The Dutch action was taken, moreover against the iterated and reiterated wishes and counsel of the U.S. and Great Britain governments, and from that action there can be no immediate turning back.
