CALL FOR ACTION
FROM NETHERLANDS EAST INDIES Appeal for Allied Daring and Dash LIKE ATTACK ON MARSHALL ISLANDS FLOW OF REINFORCEMENTS ESSENTIAL (By Telegraph.—Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 11.43 a.m.) BATAVIA, February 15. The possibility of a separate peace offer to the Netherlands East Indies by Japan is mentioned in an authoritative statement broadcast from Batavia. The statement says the Dutch are determined to fight on to the full extent of their resources and their plans will not leave room for strategical retreats or evacuations. It also declares that official Netherland East Indies opinion is that if the Dutch effort is to be of real value to the Allied cause, a constant flow of reinforcements must be maintained. It appeals for more Allied actions of daring and dash, like Admiral Nimitz’s attack on the Marshall Islands, in order to relieve the increasing Japanese pressure on the Netherlands East Indies islands.
