WASHINGTON, July 9. Van Rappard, Dutch Minister to the United States, has expressed grave apprehension as to the effect of the embargo on the export of wheat. He declared that it will mean the starving of the Dutch people, who are rationed and forced to depend on Germany for coal and America for grain. Holland is at America's mercy.
