P. van Hulstijn is a subject named in General Swart, Pacifier of Atjeh (1943) by M. H. du Croo, in connection with the history of Atjeh and the governorship of H. N. A. Swart.
Account in du Croo’s Generaal Swart (1943)
From Korte Verklaring
Van Hulstijn summarised its double effect: it was a formula “which on the one hand guaranteed a state of affairs equivalent to the introduction of direct rule, yet moderated the consequences of our intervention, and on the other offered an unsought opportunity to leave a great part of the administrative task in the hands of the existing native organisations.”
From 1926
In 1926 the great Teukoe Keumangan of Seunagan acknowledged to du Croo that T. Radja Tampo’ had indeed been on the pasar at Djeuram, but that an oelèëbalang who betrayed so holy a figure “could not remain a territorial chief in Seunagan”. Du Croo also watched in 1926 a toean of the Swart school travel through his old district after ten years, to which the Acehnese “streamed together from far and near”. Dr. P. van Hulstijn’s Van Heutsz en de Buitengewesten appeared in 1926. The fright caused by the resistance of 1925/1926 became the cause of the eventual construction of through roads and of the connecting roads between the north, east and west coasts.
