94. Msg. #DBA 28, CCS to ABDA-
COM, 25 Feb. 1942. The Dutch opposed
the change in the ABDA Command.
Wavell argued that ABDACOM should
be dissolved rather than withdrawn. The
American viewpoint was expressed in a
memorandum by General Eisenhower
that the CCS were not abandoning the
fight in the ABDA area, that Wavell
was ordered to dissolve his own head-
quarters in consideration of the fact that
the area of battle was almost exclusively
Dutch and it was consequently necessary
to place direction and control in Dutch
hands. (Msg., Lt. Gov. H.J. Van Mook
to Marshall, 2 2 Feb. 1942; msg. #02076,

Barnes to Brett, 20 Feb. 1942. There
was some confusion as to the proper
destination of this convoy since, in addi-
tion to the NEI and Burma, the defense
of Koepang and Darwin still was con-
sidered of great importance.
