DUTCH WANT BATTLE-CRUISERS

The Netherlands government has
been advised by special navy commits
SIGN to build three battle cruisers for the
defense of the Dutch East Indies.
The security of the Far Eastern is
lands of this small European nation is not
threatened by the superior fleets of Great
Britain and France. For many years the
Dutch islands could have been seized at
will by either of these larger powers.
The people of the Netherlands know
very we'll that the menace to their pos
sessions arises from the advancing Jap
anese legions in the Far East. They know
that the former security of the world is
jeopardized by the use of military force
to take what strong nation desires if it
belongs to weaker nation.
Three battle cruisers will not be
enough to protect the Dutch East Indies
from an Asiastic or European marauder
but they will help, especially, if as we
suspect, the Dutch have an idea that there
will be some assistance available in their
defense.
