Philips was named today as Minister to
the United States, succeeding Chevalier
w. l.. +. G. Van Rappard.
No announcement was made as to the
reason for the change, but 1t Is as.
uimed TO be due to Van Rappard's
handling Of Dutch.American export ne
gotiations.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 6.
Dutch Minister Van Rappard was rap
idly becoming persona non grata with
the American Government when his
Home Office recalled him. II was learned
today Van Rappard's retirement from
the Washington post had been known
for some time, but the real reason de-
yeloped only today with the announce
ment of the appointment of his succes-
sor. Van Rappard was credited with
spread,ng pro-German propaganda, not
ably peace matters. and with standing
in the way of Dutch-American embargo
negotiations.
This Government never made formal
protest against Van Rappard's activities,
but in a roundabout way Holland was
advised of the Minister'S displeasing ac-
tivities. The wholly unofficial hints were
followed soon by announcement that
Van Rappard would return to position
at The Hague.
