The Hague, March 23--The Han
delsblad of Amsterdam says today
that the rumOr had reached it that
Holland has refused the request of
the United States for the admission
of American armed merchantmen to
Dutch ports, and that consequently
the Dutch harbors will be closed to
American and British ships.
Afraid of Germany.
"The government adds the news
paper, Twill assume great respon-
sibility whichever way the decision
may fall. The government seems to
believe that Germany would interpret
as an unfriendly act any decision on
our part by which we would come in
to line with international usages, the
justice OF which Germany recognized
before the war"
Fear Of reprisals by the United
States or Great Britain now or after
the war is expressed by the news
paper, but the Dutch government, it
declares. must do only what justice
and the interest of the Netherlands
dictates.
