London, Jan. 18. "ff rain penetrates our roof Yours would begin to leak too," de- clared Count Stirum, Netherlands Minister to London, addressing the Royal Empire Society last night alluding to common interests in the East Indian Archipelago.

of what had solsporiously and successfully been built up.
"If formerly we have been rivals It is evident the protection of our cultural achievements in those territories a a common problem, bue we must not allow ourselves to be lulled by the confident ex- pectation of a big brother's 'sup- part. We are very much awake to the making of great sacrifices to guard our house," he said. Reuter
