Text Of WHheInnos Address PIedgng Nations Aid in War

The tollowfng Is the tert OF
Queen Wilhelmina's address to
Congress.
Mr.. President, Mr.. Speaker and
members OF the Congress OF the
United States:
1t gives me great pleasure to
appear in your midst.
Seeing this great democratic
assembly. renewing itself at reg
ular intervals and meeting under
self-made rules of law, seems to
me a sure guarantee that liberty
is forever young and strong and
invincible, whereas the autocrat,
incapable of rejuvenating him.
self. is every day nearer to his
end. his regime doomed to die
with him.
Moreover, where and what
would the world be today were
1t not for the United States OF
America, whose legislators you
are?
Such thoughts warm my heart
in this hour and I know that my
people everywhere feel as I do.
Cruel Fate Overtakes
Peace loving Country.
stand here as the spokesman
of my country, not only of those
9,00O,0 900 of my compatriots IN
Europe, but also of some 10000
600 in Asia and in the Western
Hemisphere whom I know to be
at one with me in the spirit.
The Netherlands were, like the
United States, like all the United
Nations, a peace-loving country.
At present, both in Europe and
in Asia, that country is under
enemy occupation.
A cruel fate has overtaken its
inhabitants.
Imagine what it means for a
liberty loving country to be in
bondage, for a proud country to
be subject to harsh alien rule.
What would be the American
answer if an invader tried to
cover his wholesale systematic
pillage with the firing squad, the
concentration camp and the
abomination OF the hostage
practice?
Having come by first-hand
knowledge to know your national
character better than ever,
doubt not that your answer
would be: Resistance, resistance
until the end, resistance in every
practicable shape or form.
Spirit Of the People
Grows With Hardship.
This is exactly the answer my
people have given, and are giving
every day.
II in the material sense they
have been ruined by the enemy,
their spirit grows with their
hardships, and they keep their
unflinching belief in their liberia
ton.
They see their families 60
without what they most need In
food and clothing, their workers
enslaved by the oppressor.
Yet, mo surrender" remains
their constant motto.
Inside occupied territory and
outside, the fight goes on.
We use our resources to the
best of our abilities.
In the Indies, where our forces
won fresh laurels together with
yours, stubborn resistance con-
tinues locally.
sSurinam helps the United Ma
tions with its bauxite. Curacao

diers, sailors and airmen are on

languages, arts and customary
laws, the Chinese, the Arabs and
the Westerners feel equally at
home.
Careful consideration has con-
stantly been given to the par
ticular characteristics and needs
Of the peoples concerned.
Confronted as we found our
selves by highly developed forms
of civilization to which the popu-
lation is deeply attached, we
strove not to uproot these. but
to promote their adaptation to
the exigencies Of the modern
world.
The voluntary cooperation
in mutual respect and tolera-
ton between people of oriental
and western stock towards full
partnership in government on a
basis of equality has been proved
possible and successful.
Increasing self government,
keeping pace with the rapidly
broadening enlightenment and
education of the native popula-
tion, has been enacted ever since
the beginning of this country
and especially since the revision
Of the constitution in 1925.
This steady and progressive de-
velopment received new empha-
sis and momentum by my an
nouncement last year that after
the war the place of the over
seas territories in the frame
work of the kingdom and the
constitution of those territories
will be the subject of a confer
ence in which all parts Of the
kingdom are to be fully repre-
ser1ted.
Progress interrupted
BY japanese Invasion.
Consultations on this subject
were already proceeding in the
Netherlands indies when the
Japanese invasion temporarily
interrupted their promising
course.
The preparation of the confer
ence is nonetheless being ac-
lively continued, but in accord
ance with sound democratic prin-
ciple no final decision will be

day afternoon to hear Leo C. McCor-

the rationing program.
Various phases of the present ra-

Delmarva Peninsula were discussed
and the discussion proved of interest
to all. The meeting was held in the

Charged With Showing
Fugitive About City

DETROIT, April 81. (UP)
Max Stephan, a natural
lied American citizen and
member of the German-Am-
erican Bund, was accused to-
day, not only of harboring a Ger
man filler who had escaped from
a Canadian concentration camp and
giving him money. but also of bold
ly showing him the sights in De-
troit.
Stephan, having pleaded not gull
ty, was held in $4,000 bond and
his examination set for April 81.
He was helped by a woman of Ger
man descent, whose identity was
not revealed. John S. Bugas, dis
trict chief of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, said she had been
arrested, and he would ask that
she be interned as a dangerous
alien.
Though Stephan had pleaded not
guilty to having unlawfully con-
cealed an enemy alien, Bugas said
he had admitted giving food and
money to the filler, Lieut.. Peter
krug.
Krug still is missing. He and
Eric B. Bohle cut their way out

Krug had laid his plans care
fully. The woman who helped Steph-
an hide him, had sent some bundles
to Germans in the concentration
camp.
Her address was on the bundles
and Krug memorized it, After es-
Gaping, he reached Windsor. Ont,

AS soon as he reached Detroit,
he sought out the woman. She hid
him in her. home and called Steph-

him around Detroit on Saturday
night, fed him, supplied him with
money and helped him get out of
town.
Stephan came to the United States
in 1928 and was naturalized in 1895.
He was the proprietor of restaur-
