De lijst van boeken over Indonesië lijkt on
uitputtelijk, het interessante ervan is, dat U
dit is meer voor oudere lezers van Tong-
Tongweer (in Uw tijd) heel bekende
namen terugvindt en U wilt toch wel graag
die boeken doorlezen die U weer brengen in
de sfeer van weleer?
Ik moet er echter wel de nadruk opleggen,
deze lijst put ik uit catalogi van antiquari
aatsboekhandelaren, dus vraag eerst aan of
ze NOG WEL voorhanden zijn. Mijn be
doeling is en dat hopen wij allemaal dat in
een of ander Volkenkundig Museum in
Amerika deze geschriften ter lezing worden
aangeboden.
Enjoy reading Folks!

Uit het Nieuwsbulletin uitgegeven door
het Indonesisch Consulaat lazen we:
President John F. Kennedy recently told
a group of Peace Corps volunteers headed
for Indonesia they are facing the greatest
opportunity of their lives to serve people and
the cause of peace. He gave a warm wel
come to the 15 men and two women com
prising the group and promised they would
be equally well received by the President of
Indonesia when they arrived there. They
will teach physical education.
Indonesian Ambassador to the United
States Dr. Zairin Zain and seven Indonesian
instructors, who helped train the Peace
Corps volunteers at Iowa State University,
were also personally greeted by President
Kennedy.
The President told the Americans they
"couldn't imagine a more exciting or stimu
lating place to be going than Indonesia.
"It's a long way from the United States
but it is the fifth largest country in the
world and it is important for our two
peoples to come to know and understand
each other."
All of the Peace Corps Volunteers are in
their early twenties and all of them have
physical education backgrounds. The Pres
ident told them they will naturally express
the basic idealism of United States citizens.
He added:
"You will express our desire that both
nations remain free and independent."
Later the Indonesian Embassy gave an
informal luncheon for the young Americans.
Ambassador Zain told them in an after-
dinner talk: "I hope you will be a big suc
cess. You will be, if you come to under
stand our new country and our way of think-
Dr. Zain explained that his country has
its own distinctive way of thinking and its
own philosophy which, he reminded, is often
not in keeping with the image of the United
States." "But if Americans realize that their
country was young once and went through
many stages," the ambassador continued,
"then their understanding will begin to de
velop."
am born in Indonesia, but left that
country as a baby. 1 was raised in Holland
and America and feel no obligation whatso
ever to Indonesia. Being Indisch" is com
plete nonsense for everybody looking ahead."
W.
President Kennedy was not even born in
Eire, nor his father and grandfather. Still
hf feels very strong ties to the land of his
origin. Hl is proud of it. He is not ashamed
to meet his family, eventhough they are
farmers and farmer's hands. Even more,
when Kennedy's ancestors left Ireland, it did
not exist as an independent nation, but as a
suppressed colony of England. Still all Irish
men are proud of their origin. And so are
many here-born Greeks, Italians. Poles, Lith
uanians, etc. etc.
The greater part of cultural consciousness
in America is strongly linked with heritage
the same with the Armenians, Lebanese,
Iraqui, Jews, who are American now). Being
away from the country of origin is no point
at all.
And what is complete nonsense for one, is
al1 the power and joy in the life of another.
So do not scowl too easily.
