ABSTRACT
If only they would see that the Dutch army, like the armies of the other small neutralminded states, guards as the police officer who attempts to prevent the crime, that it is as prepared as the dyke, which may at any time have to withstand the battering of the storm tide. Who would out of repugnance for crime fight the police, who would out of aversion for floods lower or weaken the dykes, or even undermine them?
