DUTCH CRITICISM OF BRITISH
OFFICIAL METHODS.
can
In the course of a letter to an English correspondent, Mr. J. H. Jurridane, the head of the firm oi Wyomalen und Hausmann. Rotter dam, makes the following observa- thom :-
It is a great pity, that things are done so owly in England: I have had practically nothing yet froen England and I do not know when it will come. Even outstanding orders of long po are not executed, with the result that customers here are cancelling their orders and placing them with the Huns. All this is the result of bureaucracy that has no open eye for the business of your country, and I dare say that England will, see its great mistake only wher it is too late.
Please understand that I am not working to get Eritish export tríde via Holland to Huntied-on the con. trury. I would rather prefer to starve that whole lot over thers; but I think it nonsensical that your off ciels put all possible difficulties in the way, thereby preventing our trade with your people.
Mr. Jurriaanse also forwarded a copy of a letter addressed by his firth to the British Consulate-Ceneml at Rotterdam, from which the follow- ing extract is taken:
We berewith beg to bring the following before your notice, hoping that you mil communicate this letter to the authorities in London, wher it may concern. 2-
To-day we wanted to send a par cel by post to Manchester, which parcel contains not more than a pke. ter cast pattern of a grindstone of odd shape, of which we want to order a certain number la Manches- ter. The post office refusee to accept,, this parcel without having you licence, at a cost of Ge.
We bally refuse to pay this Freener, or ever ask the British Government to plica our orders in Great Britain, had mther prefer to pluce our orders in the United States, even if the freight and other expenses were for higher then those from Eng. land. If your Government belleves that this is the way to deal with cun- tormers they are mistalcom. It does nothing but to help the Hun to win the war that he has lost with his armies, and most certainly will win if Great Britain will not stop all that red taps immediately.
The correspondent referred to who has sent us these letters for publice. tion states:—"I feel that there is couch to be said for the pairs of view of a Dulchman--who is pro-Britista to the finger tipe and has always been anxious to trade with England
