out losing face. It created a situa tion which virtually forces the peace organization to take further action to sustain its authority. This fact has been emphasized by the action of India in calling a conference of Asiatic states which opened in New Delhi today. Prime Minister Nehru, who fathered this parley, aims at getting a solution of the Indonesian strife. Council to Act The Security Council likely will be called on to consider an American plan for settlement of the Indonesian problem.

This calls for establishment of a sovereign United States of Indonesia by Apr. 1, 1950. It envisages creation of an interim federal government not later than Mar. 15, 1949, and withdrawal of Dutch prior to establishment7 of the new fed eration. The Dutch have rejected this, although they already have announced a somewhat similar project.

The difference between this and the American plan lies chiefly in the fact that the Dutch program is provisional on developments whereas the Washington proposal pins the thing down specifically so that independence would be achieved with time-table precision.
