HOLLAND MEATLESS
Only Wealthy Can Afford It-Feeding
Million Aliens.

An Atlantic Port, Sept. I've are
not starving, but our people are suf-
fering many and accommodating priva-
tions,' said A. G. A. Van Ealde, head
of the Dutch mission to America to-
day before leaving for Washington.
1.-The situation is aggravated by the
fact that Holland is called upon to
feed between half a million and a
million foreign subjects. We are feed
ing over half a million Belgians. All
told, there are from six million to
seven million foreigners IN our coun-
try demanding food Fresh meat, he
said, was so high that the poor people
could not buy it. To relieve the sit
uation the government has purchased
large quantity of supplies, he said,
and sells these commodities to the re-
taller who is allowed to make a small
profit on the transaction. which is,
however, subject to strict government
control.
