Continue but Tension Eased; Britons Leave Amsterdam, Nov. 13.
A reassuring statement to the Dutch population was made over ihe radio here today by the Premier, Jonkheer D. J. de Goer, who pointed out that alarming reports should be taken with caution and that the precautionary measures taken by Holland do not mean that the threat against the country has grown more acute.
"I advise you never to forget that belligerent countries have the easily understandable tendency to blacken as much as possible the intentions of ihe enemy," he said.
Referring to the military measures taken, the Premier declared that the country's mobilization "is not a sym-polic one. Its magnitude is proportionate to the tension abroad near our frontiers but it would be an error Holland Hopeful of to think that it is a consequence of a growing menace against us."
