By John M. Raleigh

(United Press Staff Correspondent)

BATAVIA, Apr. 15 (UP)-Recent events in the Far East have produced repercussions in the NEI unrivalled since the German invasion of Holland.

Previously the Dutch press and general opinion could have been labelled "mild" towards Japan, but since the Japanese -Foreign Minister's-startling-statement-questioning whether the Dutch Government in London' held full power of administration over the Netherlands East Indies, a new attitude of determina- tion has become evident.

The average Dutchman here realises that danger to the north has not become a thing of the past, though at present matters appear fairly calm on the sur- face.

"We believe that the day is com ing-and soon-when we will have to defend our birthright here in the Indies," say many prominent Dutch-

HEARST TO SELL ART TREASURES

THE major portion of Mr William Randolph Hearst's extra- ordinarily miscellaneous art collection, which experts say may be worth anything from £4,000,000 to £12,000,000, will be placed on sale in two of New York's leading department stores.
