To Keep Money at Home.

motion If National Industries, formed
as its name implies. for the purpose of
furthcring Dutch trade is a part Of
the movement Of Dutch Industrial de-
velopment arising ont of present con
ditions. II binds is members. who
are manufacturers, merchants. store
keepers and private individuals. TO
purchase or sell only Dutch-made
productions
The members argue mat much
Dutch money Is now going to America
and other countries for the purchase
of articles Of ordinary everyday con
sumption could be kept in the coun-
try while instead OF Dutch investors
as now seeking to place their fortunes
or savings in mortgage securities In
the United states and Canada they
should be Induced To use them in the
development Of Dutch trade in the
mother-eountry and its colonies. il
Is contended that the capital Of the
Royal Netherlands company for the
exploitation of oil lands in the Dutch
Indies Is largely foreign, the Dutch
having neglected to avail themselves
~ the opportunities offered them.
while many other Industries in the
came colonies have fallen from the
same cause into the hands Of the Brit

Lack of Foresight shown.
Lack of foresight on the part Of the
Dutch was shown in the question Of
the supply Of armaments for the
Netherlands army 4 combination OF
Dutchmen offered, II is said, to con-
struct an arms factory and make III

even went so far as to manufacture
and show the government a hundred
rifles Of the calibre required, but the
government declined the offer and
bought the arms abroad.
