The act would imperil the food agreement with the United States. The American officials are surprised at the report. They can scarcely see how Holland could do it in view of the recent famine there, when they received help from Am erica. If it is true drastic measures will have to be used in retaliation. In another food scarcity Holland could not plan on getting any food from America.
