0f Canadian Policy

UTRECHT. Holland. June 27- (CP Cable) - In order to combat “exaggerated and mischievous statements" in the Netherlands press. the lst Canadian Army to- night issued a statement. on the current shipping of food. clothing and other supplies from Holland to Germany. .

The statement is a sequel to sev- eral days’ investigations following accusations in Dutch newspapers last week that the Canadian Army was exporting Dutch-manufac- tured clothing and equipment into Germany for maintenance of the German civilian population.

The story received wide circul- ation in Holland, arousing strong resentment.‘ Gen. Crerar. army commander. ordered an immediate inquiry. and the Dutch press and radio tonight asked him to “state the true position and make clear to the Dutch people the extent to

which the Allies assisted them sine: liberation." Movement of food and stores

from Holland has been in accor- dance with capitulation terms re- quiring the 120.000 Germans in Holland to take their own stocks of food and clothing when evacu- ated to northwest Germany. ‘the statement claimed. It was appre- ciated that certaln of these stocks were Dutch but the policy was to

‘prevent maintenance of the Ger-

man forces being thrown onto British resources in Germany.
