OUTSPOKEN DUTCH PAPER.
The weekly paper "Nieuwe Amsterdammer ”, in the course of an . article containing. a strong condemnation of
| the food policy' of the Dutch Governj meut, says: —"If we have to suffer ’ hunger wc shall owe it to Germany. Germany’s policy of intimidating small ! nations explains why the regulations regarding our exports are favourable | to her and not to our own country. We i have maintained in our midst a German Consul-General, -who speaks abroad lies ■ which endanger our neutrality, and i Captain von Papen, who was expelled i from two countries because he was a '•mean spy. Holland is thronged w'ith , German spies, against whom the police I take no action. The attitude of the Dutch Government would be ridiculous were it not that the people meanwhile ! are hungering.”
