NO PATH FOR TROOPS
TO ATTACK AGGRESSOR DUTCH DECISION THE HAGUE, Feb. 7. Holiand will not allow free passage for troops operating aeainst an aggressor nation, under article 16 of the League Covenant, if the aggressor is a neighbour, declared the Foreign Minister, Dr. Patijn. in a written reply in the First Chamber. He added that the entry of such troops into Dutch territory would inevitably lead to a collision with the aggressor, making Holland a battlefield. The idea of Holland adopting permanent neutrality appeared to be undesirable and unachievable. There was no question at present of military collaboration with Belgium. He stressed the importance of good relations with Germany, and noted with satisfaction that Germany was inclined to good relations with Holland.
