“…It also indicates that the new estimates are significantly higher than other esti-mates. For the Outer Islands the new estimates are significantly lower than other estimates, particularly those presented by De Meel (1951). Figure 2 indicates the negative population growth in Java during the years of hardship, 1944 and 1945.…”

“…The production data for 1949 and 1950 are most likely more adequate, because of the extension of colonial control throughout Java after December 1948 which unified the system used to estimate production. Java, 1940Java, -1950Java, 1939Java, 1940Java, 1941Java, 1942Java, 1943Java, 1944Java, 1945Java, 1946Java, 1947Java, 1948Java, 1949Java, 1950 (1947) suggests that population growth was in fact negative in Java during the years 1944. De Meel (1951 and Keyfitz (1953) suggest similar patterns.…”

“…The growth rates for the years 1945-1949 are estimated by trial-and-error, trying to meet two conditions: • the growth rates for Java as a whole are to be around - 1.0% in 1945, 0.0% in 1946, 0.75% in 1947, 1.0% in 1948, 1.5% in 1949. (De Meel, 1951; • the population data for 1950 are obtained by interpolating the obtained population estimates for 1949 and the 1961 census data.…”

It is readily assumed that the average level of living in Indonesia deteriorated during the hectic period [1940][1941][1942][1943][1944][1945][1946][1947][1948][1949][1950]. Much of the evidence on economic change during this period is anecdotal. It is difficult to distil a general impression from it. Per capita food consumption is an important indicator of the average standard of living. For that reason this paper monitors the changes in food production, distribution and supply in the densely populated core island of Java in Indonesia.Food supply was adequate in Indonesia when the Japanese attack on the country started in 1941. During 1944-1948 per capita food supply was at a very low level in Java. In the years 1943-1945 the low level was caused by the restrictions imposed by the Japanese authorities on the domestic trade of food products, and by the coercive system of purchasing rice for distribution. Both created disincentives for farmers to produce a food surplus. Similar reasons explain the situation during the years 1946-1948. Moreover, the controversy between the returning colonial government and the government of the nationalist Republic of Indonesia impeded free shipments of food between the food deficient urban areas and the food producing rural areas. Food supply recovered during [1948][1949][1950], with the economic re-integration of most of Indonesia.

Relations between Indonesia and the Netherlands have shown a rancour on the Indonesian side, and an obduracy on the part of the Netherlands, unparallelled in the relations between any other ex-colony and its former imperial master. The bitterness of Indian nationalists has dissipated itself into a reverence for things English above all others, whilst the French attitude in Indo-China, similar in many ways to that of the Dutch in the Indies, and the fighting in the Indo-Chinese warr far heavier than those of the Netherlands military actions in 1948 and 1949, have still left the peoples of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos with warmer feelings for France than the Indonesian government has for the Netherlands.
