ners and mode of living she is more Victorian
than contemporary Her subjects used to call
her the Dutch Victoria, because her charac-
ter, her courage and her strong sense of public
duty gave her the same sort of position
among the Dutch at home and abroad that
Victoria enjoyed during her long reign over
Britain and the Empire. England's Queen
undoubtedly influenced the early life of the
Queen of the Netherlands, for when Wilhel-
nina was girl of thirteen she was taken to
visit the old Widow of Windsor. Victoria
took liking to the little girl from across the
Channel and called out band of Scotch
pipers to march past for the royal visitor.
Thereafter Wilhelmina's ambition was to be
as great queen as Victoria.
Wilhelmina may be queen in exile but
her days are far from empty. There are state
papers to be prepared for the administration
of Dutch government in the two thousand
odd islands that form her rich empire in the
Pacific. There is the substantial part of the
Dutch navy which escaped the Nazis, and
which is now carefully guarding the Neither
lands East Indies against the covetous Japa-
nese. There is the vast feet of the Neither
lands Merchant Marine, now sailing with the
freighters and tankers of the Allies. And
there is the Dutch Legion in Britain to be
organized and uniformed so that it can fight
side by side with the British. But the danger
spot that requires her constant attention is
the fertile archipelago of the Netherlands
East Indies Wilhelmina and her ministers
have realized ever since the crisis became
acute in the Far East that one Japanese
bomb dropped there would set the whole
Pacific ablaze. That's why nowadays their
conferences have multiplied and the lights
