New York District, including Orange.
Putnam and Dutchess counties, expects
to be opposed for reelection this fall, as
he was in 1916, by the German-Ameri

One OF the reasons cited by the Alli-

grounds for an immediate declaration

Wilson May Withdraw
Grain Offer to Dutch

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The Uni
ted States is prepared to withdraw it's
recent offer Of three ships to expedite
grain to Holland, if the harsh and un-
faar comment Of Dutch newspapers, ac-
cusing the United States of duplicity
in making the condition that equal ton
mage should leave Dutch harbors for
America, is to be taken as indicative Of
the feeling of The Netherlands gov
crnment and people
Typical of the Dutch comment is an
editorial in the New Rotterdam "Cour-
ant" received by cable, as follows:
"1n the last few days an official
American communication has been re-
ceived to the effect that three vessels,
over two of which the American gov
ernment has no jurisdiction, will be
allowed ultimately to depart for Hol-
land on condition of the departure of
vessels of equal tonnage from Holland
to an American port.
may really be Tightening of the moose,
If, as has been suggested, it is an at
tempt to make Holland purchase three
cargoes of grain with three convcyors.
This would be perfidious offer about
which disappointment could not be too
! strongly expressed. We have not a
high opinion of American good faith,
but that official duplicity could go SO
far on promises made in black and
white by the President of the United
States, openly rcpudiated. it is impos
sible to believe. Such shamelessness
has not been exceeded in this war.
The American government must Civ
unambiguous guarantee that the Pres-
dents promises of March 20 will be re-
spected."
The condition that equal tonnages
should leave Dutch waters for Amcrlca
when the grain steamers departed was
imposed to prevent an increase in the
size of the fleet tied up in Dutch ports
by the German submarine menace.
