Amsterdam.-"If we fail to persuade
the American government to permit a
continuance of the supply Of grain it
will mean misery and economic ruin
for Holland" unanimously declared
the members Of the official Dutch
mission, who are expected to sail for
the United States this week.
Whether such an eventuality would
ultimately force Holland into the war
the members of the mission did not
care to prophesy. This, they contend
ed, depended on the capacity Of the
Dutch people to bear privations and
on unforseeable circumstances, but 1t
would manifestly make Hollands po-
sition most serious, and would make
her more than ever dependent upon
the central powers, to whom she would
presumably be obliged to turn to try
to get grain, as well as coal, neces-
sarily in exchange for equivalent con-
cessions.
