ANCIENT DISPUTE UP TO THE HAGUE Belgium and Holland have decided to have the International Court at the Hague settle their ancient dispute about water rights and canals When these countries separated a century ago, Antwerp, in Belgium, on the Scheldt, found that its ships had to pass through Dutch waters to get to sea and it was not until 1863 that Holland gave up levying toll on Belgian ships provided Belgium would not take too much water from the Meuse. The situation is complicated by two new ship canals, the Juliana, already completed by Holland, and the Albert, which Belgium will finish next year The Juliana and a veritable network of other canals all draw water from the Meuse, and when the Albert canal links up with the Belgian system, also drawing water from the Meuse, Holland fears her canals will lack water SAFEST CCC CAMP NABD3D WETUMKA, Okla.
