When August Philips, new minister
from the Netherlands. arrived at the
capital he brought with him fancy
stock of advice from the Dutch folk
on how to convince the United
States that Holland was a friendly
neutral.
Before sailing from Amsterdam he
had an audience with Queen Will
helmina and crown suggestions were
made to him.
From various other sources he re-
ceived suggestions galore as to what
to do over here, one of which was a
tour of the United States to acquaint
the Americans with Hollands posi-
ton in the war. 1t is the consensus
Of opinion among Dutch officials that
Hollands low estimate in the minds
of some Americans is due rather to
miscues in diplomacy than to any
