HOLLAND'S ATTITUDE.

SPEECH BY QUEEN WILHELMINA,

Txox, Sept. 22.

A Hague telegum states that Queen Wilhehhina, in a speech from the Thrond at the opening of Parliament, emphasised the determination of Holland to maintain her integrity and strictly observe neutrality. Her relations with foreign Powers continued to be friendly. Naval and military forces were ready to protect the national interests in the event of extraordinary intervention. The Government found it was still necessary in connection with the importation of provisions and raw material, and to check the rise in prices, to prevent the export of foodstuffs and mw raaterials which annot be spared. Proposals for the revision of the constitution have already been announced and will soon be submistër. Fresh taxation will be necessary to Jeet the deficit and freeh expendi- ture. The economic situation in the Indips causes no anxiety. Pending the introduction of a Navy Bill obsolescent material will be gradually replaced, first consideration being given to the defence of the Indies. Her Majesty looks to the future in full bope, relying on the energy/of the people to beat courageously the heavy burdens which are, inevitable

consequence of the distressing situation

The Budget, which was subsequently presented, forecasts the crea tim of a fund to provide a large number of guns and ammunition in view of the great role of heavy artillery by this war. The extension of the air service estimate shows a deficit of 22,227,000 guilders.

The Amsterdam Telegran says the most striking feature of "the speech from the Throne is the absence of allusion to say attempts of the Thatch Government to promintis peace.
