11 THE OGDEN STANDARD: OGDEN, UTAH, THURSDAY. MARCH 21, 1916.- 3- 'H
; President Wilson Issues a
Statement, Explaining Why
the Ships Were Seized.
WASHINGTON, March 20. Upon
Holland's refusal, in the face of Ger
man threats to put Into effect her vol
untary agreement for restoring her
merchant marine to normal activity,
the United States government last
J njgi,t requisitioned all Dutch ships in
I American waters. At the same time
, Great Britain was taking over Dutch
f vessels in British ports.
A total of seventy-seven ships of
probably 600,000 tons was added to the
American merchant marine by the re
quisitioning. Another 400,000 tons are
put Into the allied service by Great
Britain's action. Most of them -will be
used in the food carrying trade be
ll tween the United States and Europe
i Waited 48 Hours.
President Wilson's proclamation tak
I in'" over the ships was issued only aft
( erword finally came from London that
! Holland's delayed reply was a repec-
tion of the British-American demand.
The government had waited more than
-IS hours beyond the timo when Hoi
I land had been requested to make a do
" clslon as to whether she would carry
" out the original pact or submit to ro
"' quisitionlng. Every effort was made
; to avoid drastic action, as transfer by
i agreement was sought rather than by
I seizure, although the latter is an cx
t ercise of sovereign rights justified in
s international law and practiced by all
1 nations.
j As late as 6 o'clock last night it was
disclosed that President Wilson dur-
ing the day had been informed of the
delay in the Dutch reply, with the re
, quest that ho indicate whothor or not
I the requisitioning should proceed. He
; decided to await the formal reply,
j which proved unacceptable, although
under other conditions it might have
served as a basis for further negotia
tions. Ii Proclamation Issued.
The president's proclamation was is
! sued immediately, authorizing the
navy to take over the vessels, which
would be equipped and operated by the
navy department and the shipping
board, the Dutch crews being supple
: mented by American civilian sailors
, ;i and naval reservists. Compensation
l will bo made to the owners as required
J : i by law.
"s Although the ships have been taken
j over without any formal agreement,
j the United States proposes to carry
jj out scrupulously the terms of the orig
' : Inal pact, so that Holland shall receive
ample foodstuffs and will be protect
lM ed in her colonial trade by having suf
) ficlent tonnage to maintain its com
m merce.
fl In a statement outlining the negotla
S tions which preceded the requisition-S-
ing, President Wilson pointed out that
fl the permanent agreement had been
M , blocked by Germany, despite the lit-
! tic kingdom's acute need of foodstuffs,
fl' for which the agreement provided. A
temporary agreement then was nego
tiated to tide over the emergency and
H' that, too, was hold up by Prussian di
ll plomacy.
President's Statement.
: President Wilson authorized last
night the following statement:
"For somo months tha United
! States and the entente allies have been
conducting negotiations with the
i Dutch government, with the object of
!' concluding a general commercial
i agreement.
' "A very clear statement of the char
; acter of these negotiations was made
on March 12 to tho butch parliament
i by his excellency, the minister of for
i ; eign affairs of Holland. As appears
I I from the statement, the discussion
, proceeded upon the basis of two fun
! damental propositions, namely, that
tho United States and the Allies
, should facilitate tho Importation into
Holland of foodstuffs and other com
modities required to maintain their
; economic life and that Holland should
: restore her merchant marine to a nor
: mal condition of activity.
"It was the task of the negotiators
to develop a specific application of
those propositions which would he ac
ceptable to the government concerned.
"Early in January, 1918, the negotla
! tors camo to an understanding which
, was embodied in a tentative agree
ment which was submitted to the gov
ernments concerned in order that, if
acceptable, it might be ratified, or, If
unacceptable a counter-proposal
might be made.
"The negotiations becoming pro
longed, the Dutch delegates proposed,
in order that their ships might ?Donor
be put into remunerative service, that
Dutch tonnage lying idle in American
waters should, with certain exceptions,
bo immediately chartered to the Unit
ed States for periods not exceeding
ninety days. This proposal was accept-

F. J. CHENEY tc. CO,, Toledo, C
cd by the United Stalos government
and on Jnnuary 25, 1918, tho Dutch
minister at Washington handed to the
secretary of stato or the United States
a note expressing tho terms of the
temporary chartering agreement and
his government's acceptance thereof.
"This agreement provided, among
other things, that 150,000 tons of
Dutch shipping should, at the discre
tion, of the United States be employed
partly In the service of Belgian re
lief and partly for Switzerland on safe
conduct to Cette, France, and that
for each ship sent to Holland in me
servico of Belgian relief a correspond
ing vessel should leave Holland for tho
United States. Two Dutch ships In
the United States ports with cargoes
of foodstuffs were to proceed to Hol
land, similar tonnage being sent in ex
change from Holland to the United
States for charter, as in the case of
other Dutch ships lying in tho United
States ports.
"The agreement was explicitly tem
porary in character and, being de
signed to meet an immediate situa
tion, prompt performance was of the
essence. The Dutcu government at
once disclosed, however, that it was
unwilling or'unablo to carry out this
chartering agreement which it had it
solf proposed. The first desire of tho
United States was to secure at once
shipping, as contemplated by tho
agreement to transport to Switzerland
foodstuffs much needed by the state.
One difficulty after another was, how
ever, raised to postpone the charter
ing of Dutch ships for Swiss relief,
and, although the reason was never
formally expressed, it was generally
known that the Dutch ship owners
feared lest their ships should be de
stroyed by German submarines, oven
though on an errand of mercy, and
though not traversing any of tho so
called 'danger zones' proclaimed by
tho German government That this
fear was not wholly unjustified has
unhappily been shown by the recent
act of tho German government in
sinking the Spanish ship 'Sardlnero'
outside the 'danger zone,' when car
rying a cargo of grain for Switzer
land and after- tho submarine com
mander had ascertained this fact by
an inspection of. the ship's papers.
"in respect of Belgian relief, the
Dutch government expressed its pres
ent inability to comply with the
agreement on the ground that the
German government had given Hol
land to understand that it wiuld
forcibly prevent the doparturo trom
Holland of tho corresponding ships,
which under tho agreement were to
leave coincidentally for tho United
States. Tho Dutch government even
felt itself unable to secure the two
cargoes of foodstuffs, which under
the agreement it was permitted to
secure, since here again the German
government intervened and threat
ened to destroy the equivalent, Dutch
tonnage which under the agreement
was to leave Holland for tho United
States.
"Nearly two -months have elapsed
since the making of the temporary
chartering agreement and the pro
posed general agreement has lain
even longer without reply on the part
of Holand. Meanwhile the German
threats have grown more violent,
with a view to preventing any per
manent agreement and of forcing
Holland to violate any .temporary
agreement.
"On March 7, through Great Bri
tain, a final proposal expiring on the
eighteenth was submitted to Hol
land. A reply has been received",
which, while in itself unacceptable,
might under other conditions have
served as a basis for further negotia
tions. But the events to which I have
alluded have served to demonstrate
conclusively that wo have beon at
tempting to negotiate where the es
sential basis for an agreement, name
ly, the meeting of freo wills, is ab
sent. Even were an agreement con
cluded, there is lacking that power of
independent action which alono can
assure performance.
"I say this not in criticism of the
Dutch government. I profoundly sym
pathize with tho difficulty of her posi
tion under the menace of a military
power which has in every way dem
onstrated Its disdain of neutral
rights. But, since coercion does in
fact exist, no alternative is left to
us but to accomplish, through tho ex
ercise of our indisputable rights as a
sovereign, that which is so reason
able that, in other circumstances, we
could be confident of accomplishing
it by agreement.
"Steps are accordingly heing taken
to put into our service Dutch ship
ping lying within our territorial juris
diction. This action on our part and
the similar action which is being taken
by governments associated with us
leaves to Holland ample tonnage for
her domestic and colonial needs. Wo
have informed tho Dutch government
that her colonial trade will be facili
tated and that she may at once send
ships from Holland to secure the bread
cereals which her people require.
These ships will bo freely bunkered
and will be immune from detention on
our part Tho liner Now Amsterdam
which came within our jurisdiction un
der an agreement for her return, will,
' of course, be permitted at onco to re
turn to Holland. Not only so, but she
i will bo authorized to carry back with
her the two cargoes of foodstuffs

and Board of Trade, established by Mr.
Mclntyro and his associates. It will
deal in oil issues exclusively and in
no promotions, the organizers an
nounce. Mining stocks will not be
called.
Tho Initial steps toward tho estab
lishment of tho exchange were takon
by Mr. Mclntyro about two months
ago. Because of business requiring his
attention in Denver, tho organization
of tho local exchango was permitted
to rest temporarily. About two weeks
ago Mr. McCoy and Mr. Hughes came
to Salt Lake to make final arrange
ments and since that time thoy have
been negotiating for suitable quarters.
The exchange is reported lo have
received tllo Bupport of many repre

Internal Trade Leaps to Un
heard of Proportions Due
to War Conditions.
MANILA, Jan. 28, (Correspondence
or tho Associated Press.) The Philip
pine Islands have enjoyed during tho
past twelve months the greatest pros
perity in .their history. War conditions,
prices and demands are directly re
sponsible. In the past two year's, tho
balance of trade is favor of the islands
has been $50,000,000, G5 per cent of
which is to bo accounted for in tho
unprecedented prosperity of 1917.
Internal trade has leaped to un
heard of proportions. Thero is more
money in every part of the Philippines
today than ever before. More business
is being dono and tho currency re
flects this condition. Despite constant
accretions to tho currency, through
importations from United States
mints, tho Philippine hank, tho gov
ernment financial institution, has had
to issue paper ten, twenty and fifty
contavo bills, and one peso notes.
Internal revenue taxes, collected on
the same basis in 1917 as in 1916, went
up nearly 33 1-3 per cent reaching tho
highest flguro in history.
Sugar an Exception.
With the oxception of sugar, all de
partments of Insular trade profited by
tho prosperity of tho country Freight
rates quintupled and sextupledr for su
gar, and the Phillppino producers often
faced a loss on, their sales in the Unit
ed States.
When tho price of sugar in the Unit
ed States was fixed by the food control
board, It was so regulated that under
existing transpacific rates profitable
transactions in Philippine sugar were
no longer possible. Samuel Ferguson,
president of the government bank
mado a special trip to Washington in
tho interests of tho sugar men and got
a pledge of additional ships for the
Philippines. Whother tills pledge in
cluded provision tor lower freight
rates is not known here. Unless tho
new ships bring a substantial reduc
tion in existing freight rates, it is be
lieved tney win not help out the sugar
industry.
Hemp Plays Big Role.
Homp, with all the world demand
ing it for ships and war vessels, play
ed a big role in tho prosperity of the
islands. During 1917 it reached record
prices and paid its producers hand
somely. Hundreds of owners planta
tions have become rich in tho past two
years. Scores of Americans who years
ago picked out Mindanao, tho land of
tho untamed Moro, as ideally suitable
to homp, and then struggled along for
years on tho verge of bankruptcy, sud
denly found their optimism justified
and their years of toll and hardship
i repaid by two years of undreamed of
I prosperity.
Likewise the cocoanut planters havo
been carried along on the crest of the
wavo of success. During tho early
part of the year, prices rose steadily
I as American manufacturers demanded
the product at any cost But freights
also rose. This led many business men
to figure that If it were possible to
sell the raw copra tho dried meat of
the cocoanut at a profit it would bo
much more profitable to extract tho oil
locally, save a large part of the freight
costs and count that saving as profit
During the year, fully twenty cocoanut
oil mills, all of small capacity wore
started in Manila alone and in tho
provinces as many moro were inaug
urated. Tobacco Business Great.
Tho tobacco planters, manufacturers
and dealers have also had a year ol
Unparallellcd business success. The
demand for Philippine tobacco and ci
gars from the United States has been
such that Phillppino growers and
planters have been unable to meet it
Tho year' saw tho cigar production of
tho islands very largely increased
whilo tho acreage planted to tobacco
was also largely increased. But thero
aro no signs of abatement of the de
mand. A similar story can be told In every
lino of Philippine business. .The coun
try is literally rolling in money.

SALT LAKE, March 21. As an
aftermath of the exposuro of John van
Valkenburg, self-styled "inventor" of
marvelous airships with power to
travel at tho rato of from 400 to 5000
miles an hour, and possessor of mys
terious influenco to overcome the force
of gravity, Paul Valtlnko and John

burg, were arrested yesterday on pres
idential warrants received by the
United States marshal. They will be

Valtinko Is a chemist, geologist and
musician, and has been a resident of
Salt Lake for nlany years. Ho is said
to bo moro thoroughly familiar with
tho mining. sections of Utah than any
other man in the state, having pros
pected extensively. As a chemist ho is
said to have few equals in the west
Ho Is a musician and composer and is
said lo havo written a patriotic song
which he has submitted to the govern
ment for approval.
Because of his affiliation with Van
Valkenhurg, whom federal officials say
they have evidence to show has been
operating as an agent of tho German
government and because of his knowl
edge of tho mineral resources of tho
state, information concerning which
ho would not hesitate to furnish to
tho enemy, Valtlnko Is regarded as a
dangerous enemy alien.
When brought into the United States
marshal's ofllce yesterday afternoon
Valtinke protested vehemently against
being detained and declared that his
period of usefulness "had been brought
