Amsterdam, Nov. 5.
Depite the conquest of Poland by Germany and Soviet Russia, the Netherlands Government will continue to recognize the Polish Government established in France, Dr. E. N, van Kleffens, the Foreign Minister, announced in Parliament today.
"Present uncertainties regarding the outcome of the war and the subsequent settlement of pending European problems should in no way constitute an objection for the time being to a recognition of the full sovereign rights of the legal Polish Government now residing in France," the Foreign Minister said. "The Netherlands Government remains convinced that the policy of neutrality so far maintained by Holland is the only appropriate policy for this country."
Reviewing the repercussions for neutral states of the action of the belligerents, the Foreign Minister emphasized that should a neutral Power be unable to prevent one of the belligerents to enforce measures affecting that neutral state, it would in no way authorize another belligerent Power to level the accusation that the neutral state in question had neglected the strict maintenance of its neutral attitude.—Havas.
