MONT. German publicists and poll
tieians did not hesitate to say that at
the close Of the struggle Holland, as
well as Belgium. must be found within
the limits OF the German Empire. A
final victory would discover the same
spirit rampant And Holland, lest worse
should befsIl her. would not hesitate to
accept the new condition Of things.
which would not. as q matter Of fact. be
either derogatory or economically IN
fortunate for her. We cannot say that
that victory will not be Germany's. The
battles are Joined and the issue Is In
doubt Even II victory Is not hers but
peace Is finally concluded that will
leave the contending nations with mill
tary and naval resources unimpaired but
with Impoverished exchequers. then the
economic pressure will be brought to
bear on Holland with renewed vigor be-
cause it will mean so much to the resus-
citation OF German trade and to the pos
Jble opening up Of new places in the
sun to replace those she has lost.
Britain q Military Country.
NOT can We assume that II at the
close of the present war a union of Hol-
land with Germany should be proposed
Britain or France would necessarily at
tempt to veto the arrangement Britain is
now military country. She does not
fear invasion as once she did. Nor would
German control OF the Scheldt and Its
possible use as a naval base trouble the
island kingdom as II once did, since she
Is now able to cope with the submarine

IL France and Great Britain acquiesced
in the arrangement, Is IL likely that
we could successfully oppose IL except by
a recourse to arms that might not end
in our favor?
What Is the alternative? For a very

as she did in the cas- II ST. Thomas, and
was prepared to do in the case Of Haiti.
as she may again be once the war Is
over. Perhaps Holland would not sell
US the islands Then she would at
least make a treaty with US agreeing
that II she should become a part of the
German Empire the islands should pass
to the United States.
One thing Is certain. II we do not
act now. then the day will come, soon
or late, when we shall have to fight for

Intense indignation is felt by the

ment accorded that nation by this
5nountry Sweden has made repeated
efforts to induce the United States to
jotn with her in protest against
EngIand's interference with neutral
Nrade and has even asked to be per-
mafted to sendto England an Identical
mote with that sent by the United
States on that subject: But for some
hndlsc1osed reason the administration
has rejected Sweden's requests ana
Secretary Lansing as snubbed the
Swedish minister.
Sweden is not powerful country
although in the past its relations with
hhe United States have been most cor
dial and it probably will not feel
that II can afford to resent the treat
