408. My 405, October 4, 11 a.m. Netherlands Minister after his return from meeting of diplomatic body, October 3d, wrote dean that it would be difficult for him to send to his Government identic telegram owing to the fact that the Dutch laws give the Government no power to prevent the export of “materials exclusively destined for the manufacture of arms and munitions.” Resolution of the Washington Conference was changed at the request of the Netherlands delegation to read “arms and munitions of war complete or in parts.”
