Dutch Papers State Ship Seizure Puts
Moral Responsibility on L. S.

Amsterdam Thursday, March FL
Commenting upon President Wilson's
proclamation regarding Dutch ship
ping, the Algemen Handelsblad says
it considers that there now devolves
upon the allied powers the moral
duty of maintaining international
traffic for states which cannot exist
without it. Continued refusal to per-
NIT Holland to obtain grain from
Arge htina, it says, would be a serious
matter for both parties. The Tele-
graaf says it is wrong to speak of re-
lection of the allies ultimatum by
Holland. 1t asserts that the Dutch
CT the allies far as was compatible
with its position as acknowledgement.
and adds:
THE ultimatum was thus accepted
in principle, but in such a form as to
maintain Hollands rights as against
Americas unlimited power. The
Dutch government thereby acted in
accordance with the principles set
forth by President Wilson in consid-
ering future peace based upon
right above might"
The Nieuwe Van Den Dag says it
is singular fact that both the Dutch
and the allied governments seem to
have little knowledge of the course
of events 1t adds:
