TEACHING THE DUTCH

1t seems that for a long time past
the Dutch people have not cherished
any particular sentiment about the use
of their flag for commercial advertis-
ing. 1t has been used with splendid
publicity effect for motor car signs,
when flying from Dutch steamers on
the rivers and cannals at home. Re
Gently a Dutch steamer so placarded,
entering a Danish port became the OBJ
ject of such scornful comment from the
Danes that the inspector of naviga-
ton at The Hague has been Emporium
ed to stop the disrespectfuI usage, and
while no flag code has been suggested,
the shipbuilders, shippers and motor
concerns are officially asked to with
hold assistance to this kind of advertis-
ing as being disrespectful to the tri-
colors of Holland.
