Statement
CALLED UNJUSTIFIABLE
If Uon's Declaration Misstates
,' ' Facts, Is Charge Made in
0 Official Gazette
The Hague. April J.
The Government of Holland, in a
Utement published tn the Official Ga
Mtte. characterizes tho aeliurc of the
Dutch merchant ships in American
ports tut "an act of violence, which It
will oppose with nil tho enersr of Its
conviction and its wounded national
fHng" Tho Government takes Issue
with thes proclamation of President
Wilson regarding tho dcctslon of the
. fritted States, saying It contains asser.
Hone which, ore contrary to the facts.
The statement says tho Dutch na
tion, "with painful surprise." has
taken notice of President "Wilson's
proclamation', and that tho seizure of
a neutral mercantile fleet is unJusUfla-i
We.
. "Tho American Government," says
-the statement, "has always appealed
to right and justice has always como
forwurd as tho champion of small m
tlols. That It now co operates In an
net diametrically opposed to tlio?e
principles is n. pwceidlng whirh car.
1 ilnd no counterweight In the manifes
tations ot friendship or assurances
ot lenient application of the wrong
committed.
, Call It "Indefensible" Act
'The setaure en bloo ot a neutral mer
eantlle fleet. If only for the duration
of the war. Is an act IndcfcnMble from
the viewpoint of international law and
unjustifiable toward a friendly nation,
apart frcm conrtderattona of legality.
"But the manner atsu In which the
presidential statement defends this act
of violence does not contribute toward
lessening the sting thereof, for this de
fense has plainly been drawn up under
the Influence ot a completely Incorrect
representation of affairs.
"Tho manner In which the Dutch mer-
chant fleet has been treated In pat
-.ymonths In the United States, the In
cessant difficulties placed In the way of
our sailings from American ports, re
peated refusals ot bunkering facilities
and forced unltadlng of cargoes already
bought all this may be within the
rights of the United States (save one
ase that of the Zeelandta, which, with
,her own bunker coal, entered an Ameri
can port and has been unlawfully de
tained there since).
"It surely was against the traditional
friendship between the two countries, al
though on this point the presidential
etatement keeps silence."
"According (d President Wilson's proc
lamation, the Netherlands, owing en-
tlrely to German pressure, failed to ob
serve !! preliminary arrangement
which was proposed for the purpose of
leaving no longer idle tho Dutch ton
nago In American ports and furnishing
an opportunity for making voyages
within a period of ninety days, ponding
ji a definite agreement on Dutch tonnage
;and rationing. Thl-i Is distinctly Incor
rect. Asserts Statements Are Incorreet
'"It Is equally as Incorrect as the al
legation that Germany had threatened
to elnk two ships which were to sail
from Hollsnd with America's aooroval.
and that Oermany had made Increasing
inre&ta to prevent Doth .the observance
of such a preliminary arrangement and
the conclusion ot a permanent one. The
real facts of the case are as follows:
"After the (American) war trade
beard had insisted that Dutch ships In
American ports1 make trips pending a
definite arrangement the Netherlands
Government proposed that nome of the
ships should make voyages for the Com
mission for Relief in Belgium, which
Holland has always fostered sedulously
for the benefit of distressed Belgium
and northern France, When Information
Was received that Germany objected to
America's, demand that a Dutrh hlr.
te.ll from Holland euciwjrne In-extliantfo
far a relief ship sailing from America
the Netherlands Government deemed it
a duty Imposed by good faith to Inform
the American authorities thereof Im
1 mediately so that a ship that was then
en the way toward Argentina could be
given a different destination. The di
rect consequence was that those ships
were kept moving, which was exactly In,
consonance with the provisional agree-
Germany Did Not interfere
".Respecting sailings to Cetto (France)
i a. Swiss interest with which Holland
sympathized warmly, the ship owners
agreed thereto completely as soon as
Franca gave assurancts that the ships
'.would not be detained at Cette. Accord
ingly, several ships were chartered for
this service. The charterlngs and sail
ings of all these ships were not sensibly
' delayed by the aforementioned objec
tor.s ; neither did Germany attempt to In
fluence the execution of the provisional
agreement which affected trafllo between
transatlantic porta. What did seriously
Interfere with its execution was tho fact
that, cable messages to and from ship
owners were extremely slow in transmits
ton and sometimes never were delivered.
The cause of this remains Unexplained.
"The fact Is that a majority of the
ships had been chartered under the pro
visional agreement through the war

Which, according tn hta nroleefed fytn-
don plan, they would eventually become
nuiieo.
"The Netherlands Government, under
the stress of circumstances, prepared to
accept mis condition as soon as the cer
tainty could bo had that the fullest re
liance could be placed not only on the
100,000 tons, but also on the full 400,
000 as the basis of deflnlto regulation.
The Government was in a position to
accept becauso at the deliberations in
l.ondon and afterward It was understood
strictly that Dutch ships would bo em
ployed only outside the danger zone, and
that, therefore, they would In no case
undertake services for a belligerent
which would be an Infringement of neu
trality. Tendon Vngaaement llrAken
"Suddenly the aforesaid tondon en
gagement -was broken on Starch 7, when
the cardinal point, that ships given In
exchange for the advance of 100.0C0
tons of grain ships with tonnage
amounting to ahout halt a million were
not to be used In the danger zone, was
revoked. The onerous character ot this
change lay not In tho fact that the
Dutch ships were to be sent Into the
danger zone for this has nothing to
do with neutrality but because It was
evident that to enter that zone, sit
uated as It Is aroused tho associated
countries In Muror.:, would amount to
a large extent to the transportation
of trootis and war materlali from Amer
ica to the K.uroncan cobelllKerents. More
over, the Dutch ships, If armed, would
run the risk of armed conflict lth Ger
man warshlns. Holland. n a neutral
country, could not, therefore, consent to
inn use or its snips in tne uangcr zone
un'ess tho associated Governments could
guarantee that the ships would not be
armed and would not transport troops
of war materials.
"In the llit of the foregoing, the rea
soning of the presidential statement, In
accordance with which the seizure was
held to bo necessary because Holland
wr.uld be unable to obierve the con
tract, cannot be sustained. It is contrary
to the true facts. The only true rep
resentation Is this:
The Powers in question, owing to
the loss ot ships, felt constrained to re
place the tonnage by obtaining tho dis
posal of a large number of ships which
belonged not to them, but to the Nether
lands. They became awaro that the
Netherlands Government could not per
mit the ships to Ball in the Interest of
the associated governments, except on
the conditions imposed by neutrality,
but which wore. In tho Judgments of the
governments, not sufficiently In accord
ance with ths Interests. Therefore, they
decided to seize the Dutch merchant
fleet In so far as It lay within their
power.
"The Netherlands Government deems
It Its duty, especially In serious times
nch as the prrient, to apeak with com
plete randor. It voices the enllments nf
the entire Dutch nation, which seen In
the selture an net nf violence, which It
will oppose with all the energy nf Us
ronTlctlon and Its wounded national
feeling,
"According to the presidential state
ment, this procedure offers Holland
ample opportunity to obtain bread grain.
This Is so only apparently, for would It
not be an irresponsible act, nftcr the
experiences of Dv'ch ships In American
and British ports, to permit other ships
to sail to these ports without adequate
guarantees that these experiences shall
not recur?"
GERMANY'S POLYGAMY
PLANS '(GLASS HOUSE"
"Living Church" Says Proposal Not
Much Worso Than Cheap and
Easy Divorco
Germany's openly discussed plans for
polygamy after the war well deserve
reprobation, thinks 'The Living Church."
but there Is also a saying about "glass
houses" :
"It is widely known that serious
proposals are making In Germany,
through pamphlets by officials, widely
circulated, with no governmental Inter
ference, to allow polygamy after the
war, that the disproportion between the
mixes created by so many years of
slaughter may bo equalized In part. It
Is not to be frank Islam, with four
wives and unlimited concubines; but.
upon consent of the first wife, a second
may be taken whose position will be
legal and her children legitimate. Not
a new Idea In Germany, since Martin
Luther nllowed Uvt Hector of, Hessa to
oractlce a. slfhlfar use without his first
wife a consent proviaeu oniy me Digamy
was kept secret I
"But I wonder whether people with
Fcandalously loose divorce laws have
the right to criticize this movement.
Conan Doyle and his comrades are do
ing their worst to establish cheap and
easy divorce In England, which s only
consecutive polygamy: and our own
laxity In that region Is disgraceful. What,
advantage has divorce over tolerated
bigamy? From tho purely secular point
ot view the advantage seems the other
way, I noted, however. In a recent New
Voik paper, a so-called 'marriage' per
formed by a New Tork Incumbent
notorious for his anarchy In that matter,
where tho 'brldo' had two living hus
bands 1 Nothing has yet been an
nounced as done by the diocesan author
ities to vindicate the Church's marriage
law, either."
