DUTCH MARINES
CONDUCT REVIEW
Special To The Star

CAMP LEJEUNE, April 3d.
The Royal Netherlands Marine
Corps, training at this camp I'M
der the guidance of the United
States Marines, held its first
formal parade here recently.
At the review, which was taken
by Lieutenant Colonel L. LANCE
weld, commanding officer of the
Dutch unit, Adjutants E. Weiland
and P. F. Van Hees were given
commissions as second ieutenants
in their own organization.
The Dutch unit, under the COM
mand of Lieutenant Colonel L.
Langeveld, is being modelled along
lines similar to the United States
Marine Corps because of the sue
cess of the Marine Corps against
the Japs and also to simplify the
supply problem.
The large unit of liberated
Dutchmen will eventually take it's
place along side other forces of
the United Nations in combating
the enemy. Their operations will
not be restricted to possessions of
the Netherland Kingdom but will
include any sector where they are
needed.
Under the direction of Lieute-
nant Colonel Langeveld a cadre
of officers and non-commissioned
officers was formed from embers
of the old Netherland Marine
Corps, the Netherlands Army in
the Indies, the air units of the
Army and Navy and from recruit
ing in liberated Holland. All trans
fers and recruiting was voluntary
on the part of the officers and
men.
This is the first time that a
complete military organization oil
a foreign country has been train
ed by the United States Govern
ment. Prior to this time only in.
dividuals of other nations had
been trained at Camp Lejeune.
Instead of having the Dutchmen
learn military and technical sub.
jects in language foreign te
them, the Marine Corps detailed
Dutch-speaking Marines as in
structors. Dutch-speaking Womer
Marines and Nav Medica.
Corpsmen have also been detailed
to the Netherlands unit.
The Dutch Marine wear uni
forms identical to the United
States Marines but with their own
insignia and shoulder blaze with
Royal Netherlands Marines" in
scribed on it
One of the most widely cele-
brated holidays in Holland, the
birthday of the Crown Princess Jul
Llama, will be observed Monday,
April 30, with a dance The great
est day of observance is August
81, the birthday of the Patriot
Queen Wilhenina, mother of Jul
Llama, and head of the ruling house
of the Netherlands.
The Dutch unit is functioning as
part of the Marine Training Com
mand and as such its members
are subject to the same regula-
tons and entitled to the same priv
ileges as all other Marines at
Camp Lejeune.

AIexundrions Told Washington
Would Favor Union of Nations

Despite his oft-quoted warning
on "entangling alliances" George
Washington, were he alive today,
would favor a union of nations,
Charles c. Wall, superintendent Of
Mount Vernon, told members Of the
Alexandria Rotary Club at a lunch
con Tuesday.
II cannot doubt that George
Washington would have favored and
furthered q union of nations with
the same high courage, energy and
intelligence that were decisive in
the formation Of our Federal Gov
ernment," Mr.. Wall said. He likened
the worlds postwar peace problem
to those Of the Colonies after the
Revolution.
He said he was aware that no part
Of Washington's farewell address has
been SO much quoted as the warm
ing against alliances.
That warning and the time
proven wisdom Of his stand against
the violent partisans OF France, who
would have dragged the infant ma
ton into q European war, have ex-
erted strong continuing influence
on our foreign policy" Mr.. Wall
said. There are many of uS who
