HOLLAND PEEv|sA OVER
US. SEIZURE Of SHIPS

The Hague. March Boy the Asso-
ciated Press.--The Official Gazette
publishes the following statement by
The Netherlands government on the
subject OF the proclamation and addi-
konal statement by the resident of the
United States dated March 20:
with painful surprise the govern
ment and whole Dutch nation has
taken notice OF the presidential proc
lamation and the statement of March
90 TO the seizure of part OF the Dutch
merchant fleet
'sThe seizure en- bloc OF neutral
mercantile fleet II only for the duration
Of the war is an act indefensibie from
the viewpoint Of international law and
unjustifiable toward a friendly nation,
apart from considerations Of legality.
but the manner also In which the
presidential statement defends this act
OF violence does rot contribute toward
lessening the sting thereof. for this
defense has plainly been drawn up
under the influence OF completely
Incorrect representation of affairs"
