Holland vssssls Loaded With Wheat

Asked To Go To Austria and y
Java For Foodstuffs. - iJhs

Washington.-Indications that the
United States intends to ration the
northern European neutral countries in
the strictest fashion are seen in the
admission that the exports administra-
tive board has disapproved of an ar
rangement suggested by the Dutch
minister here and the Belgian relief
commission for division between Hol
land and Belgium of nearly one hun
dred Dutch grain cargoes held in
American ports.
The first news that permission for
the ships to sail had been denied came
in a dispatch from Rotterdam. The
general understanding had been that
the arrangement would be approved
and that some of the vessels would
sail Immediately.
The exports board, 1t was learned,
will let no food cargoes go to Euro
pean neutrals for at least two months,
or until the American government has
ascertained it's own food requirements
for the year and the size of crops that
are to be harvested. All OF the neu-
trails, 1t is held, can feed themselves
without difficulty until this informa-
tion is available. The United States
wishes to know also the size of crops
to be harvested in the neutral coun-
tries this fall
1t was made clear that the United
States has no intention of letting neu-
trails go hungry, but emphasis was
placed on the fact that the government
feels its first obligation Is to the
American people and to the allies.
