Mr. President. in taking the lead in turning West New Guinea over to Indonesia. the administration has created a new colonial power. There is not a single Indonesian there. It has created a Cuba for Australia by giving representatives of over 600 million Asiatics a foothold just north of that British settlement of 10 million. We had 7.000 American casualties in West New Guinea to prevent this in World War II. Australia is the firmest base the United States can use in the Pacific. We have allowed our island defense lines. running from Japan through Okinawa. the Philippines. and New Guinea to Australia. to be pierceda loss far more serious than Laos.
