Henry’s Last Hurrah?

1266

Kissinger tried to invited himself to the NL. The Dutch tried diplomatically to decline the honor. Eventually they quickly agreed to serve as hosts.

Henry Kissinger planned his latest global foray with the care of a man who might not soon be making another. He had already decided that unless a crisis should intervene (over SALT or southern Africa, for instance), he would not be traveling outside the U.S. again until after the November…

Common Market experience has accustomed many U.S. manufacturers to a “multinational” outlook. In a list of the biggest U.S. investments per country, the Netherlands ranks second.

WESTERN EUROPE

The most important development in international trade for a generation has been the flow of U.S. corporate capital to Europe. From $1.7 billion in 1950, it grew last year to $20 billion. The cash has not only fueled much of the postwar European boom but has created controversy…

Toward a Trillion

682

The Dutch are unique in having invested more capital in than taken from the U.S. Their businessmen feel emotionally drawn to the U.S. more than to any of the members of the Common Market.

In its explosive expansion, the Atlantic Community is going to need the vertiginous sum of $1 trillion in new capital over the next ten years. The scarcity of capital is of course greatest in European nations, and the supply is of course greatest in the U.S. Thus, says the Atlantic…

Over a horseshoe-shaped table at the United Nations Security Council conference hall in Manhattan, The Netherlands and Indonesia last week formally ended 13 years of bitter wrangling and spasmodic war for possession of the steaming archipelago called New Guinea.

Broadest smile was on the face of Indonesia’s Foreign Minister Subandrio,…

Fight over the Papuans

797

Foreign minister Luns proposed handing over New Guinea to the U.N., which could then allow the native Papuans to determine their own fate. Sukarno wants to liberate West Irian.

As India’s armed forces rolled into Goa last week, Indonesia’s jaunty President Sukarno tried to hitch a ride. Standing beneath a canopy in the cultural center of Djokjakarta, Sukarno told a wildly cheering crowd of 100,000 to prepare “for the coming general mobilization of all the Indonesian people soon to…

Good Buys, But.. .

579

U.S. investors went to Europe. The analysts liked Holland and Germany best, particularly their electronic and chemical industries and because of little government interference.

Trooping through The Netherlands last week went 78 American tourists whom most European businessmen were particularly anxious to impress. The tourists were all members of the New York Society of Security Analysts on a field trip to see whether European securities are a good buy. Conclusion after touring 37…

Welcome, Americans!

544

U.S. investors are attracted to The Netherlands and Belgium, since they are politically more stable than France, industrially more productive than Italy, militarily more secure than W. Germany.

In the Gothic cathedral town of Malines, Belgium, Du Pont was preparing last week to build its first plant on the European Continent. Nearby, Procter & Gamble was operating a recently completed $2,000,000 plant. A few miles down the road, Union Carbide was moving into a polyethylene plant, and Ford…

Djago, the Rooster

4799

A historic report on Sukarno and Rep. Of Indonesia. In 1949, worn down by Indonesian resistance and world opinion, the Dutch gave up, giving nationalists their independence.

(See Cover)

On the tide of nationalism that swept the world after World War II, no young nation swam more proudly than Indonesia. Its 3,000 islands were rich with oil, bauxite, rubber, tin; its 85,000,000 citizens made it the world’s biggest Moslem nation, sixth in population among all the nations…

STRIPES 6 STARS OF REBELLION

737

The U.S. flag is derived from a red-and-white-striped symbol of unity flown by Calvinists in seven northern provinces of The Netherlands during the revolt against Spain that began in 1568.

EVERY American schoolboy knows that Betsy Ross made the first U.S. flag for George Washington and the Continental Congress in 1777. It makes a pretty story, but historians are not so sure of its accuracy. Through the years, they have searched for evidence to support a variety of theories concerning…

Sentimental Journey

569

Prime-Minister of Canada Mackenzie King visited the Netherlands, where he visited a Canadian military cemetery.

It was the kind of trip the Prime Minister likes best—sights to see, a respectable minimum of speeches and official duties, a sentimental mission or two.

Paris was a one-day stop. There Mackenzie King paid homage to the man who he believes is one of history’s greatest. At the…

A Letter From The Publisher

685

Hans Bronkhorst, a Dutch journalist, sets down his view of TIME Magazine for readers of The Netherlands in his weekly, De Linie.

TIME, whose four international editions are now available almost anywhere in the world (except Soviet Russia, her satellites, and some other inaccessible places) on or before issue date, is, as you know, a journal of U.S. and world affairs written from the American viewpoint. Recently, Hans Bronkhorst, a Dutch journalist,…

Cleveland, Jan. 9,10,11.

3881

At the Institute of the Cleveland Council on World Affairs  Van Kleffens is representing the Netherlands. His tiny nation’s stake in the solution of world problems is immense.

What does the rest of the world expect of the U.S.? What is the U.S. going to do about it?

On the answers to those two questions will hang issues of war or peace, of economic reconstruction or decline—indeed, the shape of the world for the next two or…

“A Lot of Whiskey”

300

Indonesian peacemaking excursion: the stubborn Dutch and fanatic Indonesians had found a middle ground. Indonesia would become an autonomous partner under the Dutch crown.

Britain’s diplomatic cleanup man had another vanquished crisis under his belt. Beaming baronially as he deplaned in Amsterdam last week after an 8,900-mile flight from Batavia, hump-nosed, ruddy Lord Inverchapel (Sir Archibald Clark Kerr in his pre-peerage days) gave a thumbnail report on his Indonesian peacemaking excursion. The Indonesians, he…

Facts & Figures

The U.S. wartime policy of allocating surplus air transports to foreign airlines worked well. Am. Airlines Overseas, Inc., certified to fly to Amsterdam, may begin a survey flight next week.

Dutch Treat. The U.S. wartime policy of allocating surplus air transports to foreign airlines paid a fat dividend. The Royal Dutch Airlines (K.L.M.) bought 16 surplus transports and The Netherlands Government granted U.S. airlines cabotage (the right to land and embark cargo and passengers en route to any destination in…

History in the Air

1065

The sky of Holland filled with Allied parachuters last week. It was smooth and apparently initially successful—a rare thing for the first job of such a complex kind.

Rough-&-ready Lieut. General Lewis Hyde Brereton had fidgeted for weeks waiting for the moment to arrive. Seventeen times since his small-scale assists on D-day he had drawn up the detail of tactics for a historic stroke: the parachuting of an Allied army, a force of truly army size, capable of…
