AMERICA SEIzES
 HOLLANDS SHIPS
President Orders Stars and Stripes Hoisted Over Vessels

Washington, March 21.-PreSident Wilson, in d proclamation issued lat yesterday afternoon, directed the sec retary of the Navy to hoist the Amer ican flag on the Dutch ships now in the territorial waters of the United States.
 Imperative military needs of the na- tion the president said, required that there should be no further delay, and he held that the act was in accord ance with international law and prac- tice. The Navy department and the Shipping board were vested with full power to man and arm the vessels, send them through the submarine zone carrying soldiers and war supplies, or
 put them to any other use deemed expedent.
 Arrangement had been made where
 by. coincident with the action taken
 by President Wilson, the Dutch ship
 ping now held under the control of the allied nations should be taken over. It has been estimated that there are approximately 50O,O0O tons of these ships in American waters and an equal amount of tonnage within
 the jurisdiction of Great Britain and France. The actual figures concern ing tonnage are with held.
 The Ofncldl news or the dGClSIOn was made public at 5:30 o'clock and at that time Secretary Daniels already
 had sent out orders to the Navy to take over the ships. MT. Daniels sal that all arrangem entS had been made to place guns and gun crews marines and sailors on board rapidly as the ships could be made available. The Shipping board also had completed all details of it's part in the program. The presidents proclamation, issued after a delay of many hours, during which every opportunity was given to ! the Dutch governm ent to meet the l terms of the United States, came as l ton made by Germany, and placed l the entire responsib bility for the usage l to which the tonnage may be put upon the shoulders of the American | government and it's allies.
 Hollands Reply Unsatisfactory. 1 Hollands reply, which, 1t is said, 1 was received here shortly before noon, l was unsatisfactory In that the Meth 1 erlands government did not feel that l it could acquiesce to the use of it's l ships in carrying troops and muni- ] tions through the danger zone. This l reply had been forecast in unofficial I dispatches and it was accepted as the ] final word.
 1 In statement supplem enting his pro oclamatlon, President Wilson re-
New Britain herald., 1918-03-21
viewed the negotiations which ha

viewed the negotiations which had been carried on between the United States and Holland and made it clear that he sympathized with Holland S precarious position as a result of Ger many's defiant attitude, which, he said, had made impossible "the meet ing free wills"
 The interests of Holland, he said, would be safeguarded in every re- spect. The ships she sends here for food will be freely bunkered and will be immune from detention. The \ieuw Amsterdam which came to an American port under an agreeme ent for her return, also will be released, and she will be permitted to take back a cargo of food.
 Germany threatened if Holland consented to the transfer of her ships to sink any vessels that were sent to America for food.
 Whether Germany will follow that course in the event Holland now sends ships for the cafgoes which the president promises, Is a developm ent that will be awaited with intense in- terest and which may be fought with far-reaching consequences. There have been reports that Hol land might rebel and be drawn into the war either because of the requisi tionine of her ships or by the bellig- erent attitude which Germany would assume. Unofficially, however, the opinion was expressed freely that no international complications of so grave nature would result. Somo felt that Germany's threats were made largely in an attempt to bring about delay
 It was felt that Holland would see in the tenor of the official messages which have been forwarded and i'll President Wilson's statement de- termination on the part of the United States to consider Hollands rights.
 Presidents Statement.
 The presidents statement follows;
 For some months the United States and the Entente Allies have been con- ducting negotiations with the Dutch Government with the object of con- clu6ine a general commercial agree m ent
 "A very clear statement of the character of these negotiations was made on March 12 to the Dutch Par liament by His Excellency the Min ister of Foreign Affairs of Holland. As appears from the statement the discussion proceeded upon the basis of two fundamental propositions, namely that the United States and the Allies should facilitate the inn nortation into Holland of foodstuffs and other commodities required to maintain her economic life and that Holland should restore her merchant marine to a normal condition of ac- tivitT.
 ..It was the task of the negotiations to develop a specific application of these propositions which would be acceptable to the Governments con- cerned.
 Early in January, 1918, the nego- tiators came to an understanding which was embodied in a tentative agreement which was submitted to the Governments concerned in order

 EIapse of Two Months.
 Nearly two months have elapsed since the making of the temporary chartering agreement. and the pro- posed general agreement has lain even longer without reply on the part of Holland. Meanwhile. German threats have grown more violent, with a view to preventing any permanent agree ment and of forcing Holland to violate any temporary agreement.
 "On March ', through Great Brit ain, a final proposal, expiring on the 18th, was submitted to Holland. A reply has been received which, while in itself unacceptable, might, under the conditions, have served as basis for further negotiations. But the events to which I have alluded had served to demonstrate conclusively
 
 gotiate where the essential basis for an agreement, namely, the meeting of free wills, is absent. Even were an agreement concluded there is lacking that power of independent action which alone can assure performance. t'I say this not in criticism of the Dutch government. I profoundly sym pathize with the difficulty Of her posi- ton under the menace of a military power which has i'll every way demon- strated it's disdain of neutral rights. But since coercion does in fact exist, no alternative is left to us but to ac- complish, through the exercise of our indisputable rights as sovereign that which is so reasonable that, in other circumstances, we could be con- fident of accomplishing 1t by agree ment.
 Steps are accordingly being taken to put into our service Dutch shipping lying within our territorial jurisdic- ton. This action on our part and the similar action which is being taken by governments associated with us, leaves to Holland ample tonnage for her do- mestic and colonial needs. We have informed the Dutch government that her colonial trade will be facilitated 
 from Holland to secure the bread ce- reals which her people require. These ships will be freely bunkered and will he immune from detention on our part The steamship Nieuw Amster dam which came within our JurlS- diction under an agreement for her 1cturn, will. of course, be permitted at once to return to Holland.
 "Not only so, but she will be auth orized to carry back with her the two cargoes of foodstuffs which Holland would have secured under the tempo rary charter agreement had not Ger many prevented. Ample compensation will be paid to the Dutch owners Of the ships which will be put into our service, and suitable provision will be made to meet the possibility Of ships being lost through enemy action.
 Tt is our earnest desire to safe guard to the fullest extent the inter ests of Holland and of her nationals. By exercising in this crisis our ad- mitted right to control all property within our territory we do no wrong to Holland. The manner in which We proposed to exercise this right and our proposals made to Holland concurrent ly herewith cannot, I believe, fail to

Intervention by Germany.

One difficulty after another Was
 however, raised to postpone the char tering of Dutch ships for Swiss re- lief, and although the reason was never formally expressed it Was gen. erally known that the Dutch ship owners feared lest their ships should be destroyed by German submarines
 even though on an errand of mercy and though not traversing any of the so-called danger zones proclaimed by the recent act of the German gov ernment in sinking the Spanish ship Sardinero outside the danger zone when carrying a cargo of grain for Switzerland, and after the submarine commander had ascertained this fact by an inspection of the ships papers
 Tn respect of Belgian relief, the Dutch government expressed it's pres ent inability to comply with the agreement on the ground that the German government had given Hol- land to understand that it would forcibly prevent the departure from Holland of the corresponding ships which under the agreement were to leave coincidentally for the United States The Dutch government even

This proposal was accepted by the United States Government, and on January 25, 1918 the Dutch Minister at Washington handed to the Secretary of State of the United States a note expressing the terms of the temporary charter ing agreement and lis Governments acceptance thereof.
 "ThiS agreemen provided. among other things, that 15O,00O tons of Dutch shipping should at the discrc- ton Of the United States be employed partly in the service of Belgian relief and partly for Switzerland on safe conduct to Cette, France, and that for each ship sent to Holland in the serv- ice of Belgian relief corresponding vessel should leave Holland for the

 The agreement WAS explicitly tenn porary in character and being de- signed to meet an immediate situA- tion. prompt performance was of the essence. The Dutch government at once disclosed, however, that it was unwilling or unable to carry out this chartering agreement which it had it. self proposed. The first desire of the United States was to secure at once shipping, as contemplated by the agreement, to transport to SWitzer- land foodstuffs much needed by the state.
