man government in sinking the
Spanish ship Sardinero outside the
danger zone when carrying a
cargo of grain for switzerland, and
after the submarine commander
had ascertained this fact by an
inspection of the ships papers.
In regard to Belgian relief, the
Dutch government expressed its
present inability to comply with the
agreement on the ground that the
German government had given Hol-
+ land to understand that it would
forcibly prevent the departure from
| Holland of the corresponding ships
which. under the agreement, were
, to leave coincidently for the United
States.
The Dutch government even felt
itself unable TO secure the two
cargoes of foodstuffs which. under
the agreement, it was permitted to
secure, since here again the Ger
man government interviewed and
threatened to destroy the equiva-
, lent Dutch tonnage which under
the agreement was to leave Hol-
land for the United States.
Nearly two months have elapsed
since the making of the temporary
chartering agreement, and the pro-
posed general agreement has lain
even longer without reply on the
part of Holland. Meanwhile, Ger
man threats have grown more viO-
lent, with a view to preventing any
permanent agreement and Of fore
! ing Holland to violate any tenn
porary agreement.
"On March Z through Great
Britain, a final proposal, expiring
on the 18th, was submitted to Hol-
land. A reply has been received
/ which, while in itself unacceptable
might under other conditions have
served as basis for further nego-
! tiations. But the events to which
have alluded had served to dem
| onstrate conclusively that we have
| been attempting to negotiate where
! the essential basis for an agree
ment, namely, the meeting of free
| wills, is absent. Even were an
agreement concluded, there is lack
| ing that power of Independent ac-
! ton which alone can assure per-
| formance
Il say this not in criticism of the
Dutch government. l profoundly
sympathize with the difficulty of her
| position under the menace of a
military power which has in every
way demonstrated its disdain OF
neutral rights. But since coercion
does in fact exist, no alternative is
left to us but to accomplish, through
| the exercise of our indisputable
| rights as sovereign, that which is
so reasonable that in other circum-
| stances We would be confident OF
accomplishing it by agreement.
| Steps are accordingly being
| taken to put into our service Dutch
| shipping lying within our territor-
! ial jurisdiction. This action on our
part and the similar action which is
| beng taken by governments asso-

and colonial needs. We have in
formed the Dutch government that
her colonial trade willsbe facilitated
and that she may at once send ships
from Holland to secure the bread
cereals which her people require.
These ships will be freely bunkered
and viii be immune from detention
on our part.
The liner New Amsterdam,
which came within our Jurisdiction
under an agreement for its return.
Will, of course, be permitted at
once TO return to Holland. Not
only so. but it will be authorized
TO carry back with it two cargoes
OF foodstuffs which Holland would
have secured under the temporary
chartering agreement had not Ger
many prevented. Ample compen-
sation will be paid to the Dutch
owners of the ships which will be
put into our service, and suitable
provision will be made to meet the
possibility OF ships being lost
through enemy action.
1t is our earnest desire to safe
guard to the fullest extent the inter
ests OF Holland and of her nation
ais. By exercising in this crisis our
admitted right to control all prop
erty within our territory we do no
wrong to Holland. The manner in
which we proposed to exercise this
right and our proposals made to
Holland concurrently Herewith
cannot, l believe, fail to evidence
TO Holland the sincerity of our
friendship toward her
