DUTCH PROTEST SEIZURE
Omcinl Statement Declares 1t m Act os
Violence, Which VIII DC
Opposed.
EBy Associated Prcss.l

THE HAGUE. Saturday, March 30
The seizure OF the Dutch merchantmen
in American ports is characterized by
;hc Dutch government in statement
in the official Gazette, as an act OF
violence, which ii will oppose with all
energy. The government takes issue
with the proclamation OF President
wilson regarding the decision OF the
United States, saying it contains as
scrtions which are contrary to the
facts.
with painful surprise tho govern
ment and whole Dutch nation has
taken notice OF the presidential procla-
nation and the statement Of March 20,
relative to the seizure OF part of the
Dutch merchant fleet" the statement
says. The seizure en- bloc of = ncu-
tFal mercantile fleet, II only FOR the
duration Of the war. is an act indefcn-
sblc from the viewpoint OF lnterna-
t!onal law and unjustihablc towards a
friendly nation.
"ijut the manner also in which the
presidential statement defends this ac,
of violence does not contribute toward
lessening the sting thereof, for this
defense has plainly been drawn up ua-
der the influence OF completely in
correct representation OF affairs"
