Dutch Ready to
Defend Frontier

AMSTERDAM, Sept. Is. UP,-
Placed by nature in the strategic
center of Europe's newest war. the
Dutch were prepared today to en-
force their pledged neutrality with
guns and men, If necessary.
Although tn Netherlands is a tiny
monarchy of only 1870 square
miles and 100000 inhabitants, her
defenders are confident she viii
prove gigantic stumbling block
TO any warning nation that attempts
TO get at its foes through the Dutch
back door"
As in the World War. the Meth
erlands is caught in the middle"
between the allies and Germany. not
only in the economic aspect of the
current conflict but also in the mill
itary. Both German and British
war planes. whether accidently OF
not. already have flown over Dutch
territory.
The reasons for Hollands belief
Imperial Valley press., 1939-09-25

that she is ready for any even
tuality are many. They include:
/. More than $4,000 soldiers. mo-
bilized at cost of s8.0ol 900, in

This army can increased to l,600.0 .000
of which more than 100000 would
be trained men. ready for front
line service.
2. Geographical assets, including
a coast line naturally adapted TO
defense by mining and swamp lands
which could be flooded in a mo-
ment. obviating the danger of in
vasion by tanks. motorized equip
ment and heavy guns
3. Frontier Notifications equipped
with the most modern light artil-
lery, machine guns and anti-air-
craft pieces. and including. accord

than 1900 frontier gun easements.
4. Heavily mined roads and bridg-

traps.
5. More than 1000 high perform
ance. first line military airplanes,
6. A naval fleet, including mine
layers and more than 40 submar-
ines.
7. An excellent high command.
In addition, the Dutch say. they
would have the support of Belgium
France and Great Britain in the
event of an invasion from the east.
That Holland is determined to re-
sist invasion TO the utmost was in
dicated by the fact that, though q
neutral, she was the first European
nation to order general mobiliza-
ton in the current war.
Having spent sS,ooO,OoO on mobil-
ization alone. she is now spending
