In this brochure, the first one published by the dutch association Nederlands Nieuw-Guinea Blok, founded 5 april 1952, the board of directors calls upon dutch government to issue a firm statement concerning her position towards the political future of the dutch territory of New Guinea. The committee strongly advocates a dominion-status within the Kingdom, to ensure benefit to both the Netherlands and the territory. The association was a conglomerate of smaller pressure-groups sharing the same opinion. Good copy.
