STRICT NEUTRALITY
HOLLAND'S POSITION
QUEEN BROADCASTS
MUST USE THEIR FULL
STRENGTH
(Received August 29, noon.)
THE HAGUE, August 28,
Queen Wilheimina, in a broadcast speech, announced that the gravity of the situation necessitated mobilisation, but counselled her hearers not to abandon hope of peace while the negotiations continued.
She added: "Holland will observe strict neutrality, and no party to hostilities will drag her into war. We must use our full strength to maintain our neutrality and security.
"I know that my people will do their duty. I think of every son and every father in this regard. Our women will be ready to make the sacrifice. All will be united in a spirit of unity. I count on that."
