Primitive as West New Guinea is, Indonesia's President Sukarno is determined to keep it as his own hobby. Hours after the changeover from Dutch to U.N. control, a planeload of Indonesian officials flew into Hollandia to "help" the U.N. They promised the moon: $100 million worth of development aid, 2,000 teachers, establishment of a West Irian university. Purpose of pledges: to con the Papuans out of any independence movement that might jeopardize control by Indonesia, the new imperial power in the area.
