EXPORTERS OBJECT TO
DUTCH FOOD EMBARGO
State Department Officially In
formed Of Hollands Precau-
tons Against Contraband.

WASHINGTON. Nov II Reports brought
10 the State Department last week by
American -four exporters 10 the effect that
the Netherlands Government has estab-
lished a virtual monopoly on trade in
foodstuffs. preventing shipments to private
firms in Holland. were confirmed by des-
patches received at ths Department to-
night from Minister Van Dyck
American exporters do not at all like
this condition. 1t Is contended that the
paper based on consignments OF products
to the Dutch Government is not as easily
negotiable as the commercial paper used
In trade with tho private firms who have
been the customers OF the American ex-
porters, 1t IL said also in the case of
-four. that the Dutch Government Intends
to buy a great deal OF wheat and have
1t made into -four In Dutch mills. thus
depriving the -four exporters here Of GER
tain amount of trade they otherwise would
have.
The statement given out at the State
Department on this subject was as fol
lows:
1.-THE Department OF State has been in
formed by Minister Van Dyke that the
Netherlands Government has made a con,
tract with the Holland America Line
whereby the ships OF that line carrying
cargo bought by or consigned to the
Netherlands Government will not accept
private consgnments OF contraband OF
conditional contraband. thereby creating q
practical Government monopoly of EN-
bargoes on cereal and cattle foods. Ship
monts OF flour and other foodstufrs con
| signed to private firms In Holland viii
| not be barred from Dutch ports wher
carried in American or other neutral yes
sells, but the Holland America Line can
not accept such shipments.
| The Netherlands Government does no
| intend to forbid the fulfilment of privat
| contracts for shipments of such good
made before the war. but under the eX
isting conditions, private Dutch importer
| having such contracts for American food
| stuffs should apply TO the Department q
Commerce OF the Netherlands Government
| for permission to have such goods con
signed to or bought by the Dutch Gov
| eminent,
I This information WAS sought and Oh
tanned at the instance OF certain American
Touring mills and other exporters of food

Tit British determined to proven
contrabaEd reaching Germany by way o

ing him as "a perfect soldier

in his own heart that ne moves among
them as one OF themselves"
