l During the last six months the Netherlands Communistic Party (CPN) has

being made by the Party to contact workers in trade unions other than
the Eenheids Vak Centrale (United Trade Union Central m EVC). The
Nederlands Verbond van Vakverenigingen (Netherlands Trade Unions Con-
federation.- Imo)' in particular has become a CPN objective,

This organization has been attempting to incite hostility toward the war in
Indonesia along the members of the Dutch armed forces. Slogans have appeared
along public thoroughfares and notices posted on public.buildings at night,
calling for an and to the "colonial war". The garrison commander at The
Hague forbade the personnel of his cor:imand to attend the ANJV meeting
scheduled for 23 February.
Dirk Z; t rk ldar and Gerrit van P raa both of The Hague and members of ANJV,
were arrested in the spring of 1949 for compiling and circulating a seditious
pamphlet in a barracks at Chaam. This incident has been the occasion for a
demonstration and protest meeting of ANJV members in The Hague.
ANJV is working toward a closer contact with the CPN. In many instances
regular consultations have been held between the secretary-general or the
CPN, Paul de Groot, and responsible ANJV officers. The Central Committee
of ANJV has appealed to the Organization's members to lend the fullest
Msupport possible to the Communist election campaign.
In February ANJ\ commenced publication of a bimonthly cadre organ, !oorhoed ,

This Organization is designed to replace the abolished Young Yorkers' Union
and is closely affiliated with the ANJV. Its purpose is to attract boys
and girls between the ages of 12 and 16, a group which the ANJV does not
reach. The Pioneer Movement is modelled after the scouts, and it is
intended to supply the ANJV with future recruits, as ANJV members are
trained for CPN membership. Boys and girls in the Dutch Pioneer Movement
are separated into two groups.

This Committee, backed by the EVC, ANJV and OPSJ, sponsored a "Free Asia
Week" in Amsterdam from 13 to 20 March. According to source, very little
was achieved by this program except that the Committee collected money to
help Indonesian students who have refused to continue their scholarships
as a protest against Dutch colonial policy.

The Central Committee of ABUM recently decided to expel J. Hubertus He'-7,a3'a
from that organization. lormans, who is a coal miner by trade, was one of
the Communist members of the First Chamber of the States-General (Dutch
Parliament) and is still an active CPN member. His expulaioA, according to
source, has aroused bitterness among the Communist sympathizers within
ABVM. All efforts on the part of this group to regain admittance for
1i-Vr-a'xc into the union have thus far been in vain.
