In Netherlands,
De Beus Declares
By Catherine r. Hanblev

A hair-raising account Of life In
occupied and liberated Holland was
given yesterday by DR.. j g. de Beus,
Counselor, Netherlands Embassy, at
. meeting Of the District Farm and
Garden Association.
Though tales Of Buchenwald. ETC.,
seem like the endth degree Of Ger
man horror, conditions as described
by the diplomat In his native land
are horrifying enough. Life in the
Nazi-dominated western provinces
has descended to the most primi-
tive stage and Is mere struggle to
survive. he explained. Getting
enough food to keep alive Is the
only energy exerted by the populace.
Staying In bed - much as possible
seems to be the solution to conserv-
ing calory-consuming energy.
The average citizens rises at II
am. and starts his day with .
quart Of soup for which he stands
in line about two hours at q COM
munal kitchen. It Is made Of sugar
beet pulp, formerly fed to cattle,
and tulip bulbs, at one time q great
industry Of the Dutch. For dinner
he gets . slice Of bread and three
quarters Of potato, generally eaten
raw as there is no gas, coal or elec-
tricity for cooking. The more am
bilious rise as early as am. to
trek on foot to- the country where
In exchange for an article Of cloth
ing they may pick up q cabbage to
bring home. In big cities q ration
Of two ounces Of meat q week Is con-
sidered very good. Many adults die
for lack Of butter, sugar and fats, the
speaker said. There is hardly any
cheese and no eggs.
Worst sufferers are children. Only
skinned milk is available and that
in hospitals. In the cellar hospital
Of a city freed only two weeks ago
babies had been fed on substitute
coffee with deadly results. Accord
ing to an Amsterdam doctor who
escaped, the death rate among in.
fants Of the better classes Is six out
Of ten and among workers eight
out Of ten. the international lawyer
asserted.
In Rotterdam the general death
rate has risen ], ZOO q month. Cofans
are impossible 10 secure. At one
church relatives stand guard over
scores Of bodies waiting burial, scar
ing OF rats with rattles and rife
IRE.
In liberated Holland, the food
situation Il being controlled. People
no longer complain about q short
age though they are not back to
normal The, chief problem Is start
ing the economic life, completely
paralyzed by lack Of transportation
and communications and by a popu-
lation 80 physically weakened by
privation that they are unable to
help themselves.
For fear Of being dragged OF BY
the Gestapo to forced labor, every
one in the occupied zone lives un-
der an assumed name and in some
body else's house. the former Sec
retary to the Dutch Prime Minister
declared. For the same reason, the
underground in one city Of 1000 900
blew up the administration build
ing. The generally law-abiding
Dutch function without any civil
administrators whatsoever. How
ever, their spirits are high, DR.. de
Beus pointed out. An underground
newspaper recently printed edito-
rails on proposals Of Dumbarton
Oaks and the future Of the Dutch
Indies.
The speaker was introduced by
Mrs. r. Winston Holt.

would give his youth, his strength
and his ability to that splendid pur'
pose But, apparently, he made 6
mental reservation; he would only
render this service until something
better-paying came along.
He toured, at the country's ex.
pense, the far-fiung battle front.
and came home to champion the
cause of the common soldier. HI
would be the friend Of the boys ir
the foxholes. He would-again the
mental reservation-until something
better came along.
He was the friend OF Harry Tru-
man. you can count on me
Harry" But Harry. accepting a.
heavy a burden as man ever was
asked to bear, read in the papers
that Happy had walked out. A bet
ter-paying job had come along.
Jumps His Contract.
So we say, gee whiz, what can you
expect? You can't expect man to
turn down fifty thousand bucks a
year, can you? Clearly. in the league
In which Happy has been playing you
can't expect it. In this league you
don't have to ask for waivers and
you can jump your contract without
notice. So Happy jumped his con-
tract with his party and the people
Of Kentucky; his contract with the
boys in the foXholes.
An excellent start, you might
think, il you were given to irony,
for one whose job it will be to ad-
vance and protect good sportsman
ship in our national professional
pastime. But you would be wrong
to say this with sneer. The Ken
lucky statesman will be an honest
umpire. He'll call the plays as he
sees them. He'll give his all, his
whole $4,000 worth, to keep the
sport clean. That's something he
understands.
This war he does not understand.
He does not understand that it is
being played for keeps and that 1t
won't be over for long time, that
its consequences won't be over for
the common people even after Ger
many and Japan have been de-
feated. He doesn't understand, even
though he has seen the wreckage of
war at first hand, that something
more important than baseball has to
be rebuilt. He doesn't connect his
talents with the welfare of the
world in which he will live the rest
of his life and in which his children
and grandchildren will live the
whole Of their lives.
If you are still listening to this
sour music, let it be explained that
Happy Chandler is being used here
merely as a whipping boy. He is
little different from most Of us. He
simply typifies our tendency to go
where the money is. 1t was perfectly
natural for the businessmen of
baseball to reach into our highest
lawmaking body for the man they
wanted, just as previously they had
plucked one from the bench of our
next highest court.
Philosophy Changes.
For the peace Of mind of the men
who have hired Happy, it is to be
hoped they will not misunderstood
the tribute paid to the retiring
Senator by a colleague. Happy's
selection, this Senator suggested,
means 'the philosophy of baseball
has changed" But he didn't mean
by this that the philosophy Of poll
tics is being substituted or that the
rules of the Senate will supplant
the rules of the game. For ex-
ample, contract jumping won't be
made legal, and owners still will be
free to sell players down the river
as heretofore, regardless of the
players feelings.
