POTATO RIOTS IN
HOLLAND CAUSED
BY EXPORT RULES

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Aug, %
The potato riots at Amsterdam and
Rotterdam this month have given the
Dutch government one of the most Sc
we're jolts it has experienced.
The trouble began with request on
the part of Germany that the export of
new potatoes should be permitted i'm
mediately they began to reach the mar
ket. AS it was backed UP by the inti-
nation that only thus could be obviated
a reduction of the ration of German
coal of $4,000 tons a month, on which
the country and its industries SO Wit
ally depend, the Minister of Agricul-
ture, f. E. Posthuma, gave way.
The standing agreement provided
that $4,000 tons of potatoes must be de-
livered to Great Britain before any
further export to Germany, and as the
British authorities insisted on the
strict fulfllment of this obligation the
result was that the home market, for
two or three weeks preceding the ar
rival of the new crop in any quantity,
was bereft of its supplies of the old
and was practically bare.
Finding themselves suddenly de-
prived of such q conspicuous item in
their daily menu, mobs of indignant
housewives at Amsterdam and Rotter-
dam raided any boats or wagons con
tanning potatoes they could get at, and.
apparently managed to plumber GER
tain amount destined for Great Brit
ain, though they neither knew nor
cared where the food was bound. In
deed, there was no suggestion whatever
OF the riots being of an anti-British
character
The British authorities were the
more displeased with the course things
had taken as seemingly to throw on
them the odium of taking supplies
which Holland herself needed, while,
owing to shipment delays, the frontie'
seems to have been opened for exports
tc Germany a little while before the
British supply had actually left the
country, and London apparently has
made it's displeasure unpleasantly plain
to the Netherlands government.
The market is now flooded with po-
tatoes of the new crop, which, besides
supplying home needs, is expected to
permit of the export of $4,000 tons
each to the United Kingdom and Ger
many;
