CHAPTER XXXV

THE REIGN OF QUEEN WILHELMINA, 1898-1917

THE Pierson-Borgesius ministry had not been long in office when Queen

Wilhelmina attained her majority (August 31, 1898) amidst public

enthusiasm. At the same time the Queen-Mother received many expressions

of high appreciation for the admirable manner in which for eight years

she had discharged her constitutional duties. The measures passed by

this administration dealt with many subjects of importance. Personal

military service was at last, after years of controversy, enforced by

law, ecclesiastics and students alone being excepted. Attendance at

school up to the age of 13 was made obligatory, and the subsidies for

the upkeep of the schools and the payment of teachers were substantially

increased. The year 1899 was memorable for the meeting of the first

Peace Congress (on the initiative of the Tsar Nicholas II) at the _Huis

in't Bosch_. The deliberations and discussions began on May 18 and

lasted until June 29. By the irony of events, a few months later

(October 10) a war broke out, in which the Dutch people felt a great and

sympathetic interest, between the two Boer republics of South Africa and

Great Britain. Bitter feelings were aroused, and the queen did but

reflect the national sentiment when she personally received in the most

friendly manner President Krüger, who arrived in Holland as a fugitive

on board a Dutch man-of-war in the summer of 1900. The official attitude

of the government was however perfectly correct, and there was never any

breach in the relations between Great Britain and the Netherlands.

The marriage of Queen Wilhelmina, on February 7, 1901, with Prince Henry

of Mecklenburg-Schwerin was welcomed by the people, as affording hopes,

for some years to be disappointed, of the birth of an heir to the

throne.

The elections of 1901 found the liberal ministry out of favour through

the laws enforcing military service and obligatory attendance at school.

Against them the indefatigable Dr Kuyper, who had returned to active

politics in 1897, had succeeded in uniting the three "Church"

groups--the democratic anti-revolutionaries, the aristocratic Historical

Christians (both orthodox Calvinists) and the Catholics of all

sections--into a "Christian Coalition" in support of religious teaching

in the schools. The victory lay with the coalition, and Dr Kuyper became

first minister. The new administration introduced a measure on Higher

Education, which was rejected by the First Chamber. A dissolution of

this Chamber led to the majority being reversed, and the measure was

passed. Another measure revised the Mackay Law and conferred a larger

subsidy on "private" schools. The socialist party under the able

leadership of Troelstra had won several seats at the election; and in

1903 a general strike was threatened unless the government conceded the

demands of the socialist labour party. The threat was met with firmness;

an anti-strike law was quickly passed; the military was called out; and

the strike collapsed. The costly war in Achin, which had been

smouldering for some years, burst out again with violence in the years

1902-3, and led to sanguinary reprisals on the part of the Dutch

soldiery, the report of which excited indignation against the

responsible authorities. Various attempts had been made in 1895 and 1899

to introduce protectionist duties, but unsuccessfully.

The quadrennial elections of 1905 found all the liberal groups united in

a combined assault upon the Christian Coalition. A severe electoral

struggle ensued, with the result that 45 liberals and 7 socialists were

returned against 48 coalitionists. Dr Kuyper resigned; and a new

ministry, under the leadership of the moderate liberal, De Meester, took

its place. The De Meester government was however dependent upon the

socialist vote, and possessed no independent majority in either Chamber.

For the first time a ministry of agriculture, industry and trade was

created. Such an administration could only lead a precarious existence,

and in 1907 an adverse vote upon the military estimates led to its

resignation. Th. Heemskerk undertook the task of forming a new cabinet

from the anti-revolutionary and Catholic groups, and at the next general

election of 1909 he won a conclusive victory at the polls. This victory

was obtained by wholesale promises of social reforms, including old age

pensions and poor and sick relief. As so often happens, such a programme

could not be carried into effect without heavy expenditure; and the

means were not forthcoming. To meet the demand a bill was introduced

in August, 1911, by the finance minister, Dr Kolkmar, to increase

considerably the existing duties, and to extend largely the list of

dutiable imports. This bill led to a widespread agitation in the

country, and many petitions were presented against it, with the result

that it was withdrawn. A proposal made by this ministry in 1910 to spend

38,000,000 florins on the fortification of Flushing excited much adverse

criticism in the press of Belgium, England and France, on the ground

that it had been done at the suggestion of the German government, the

object being to prevent the British fleet from seizing Flushing in the

event of the outbreak of an Anglo-German war. The press agitation met,

however, with no countenance on the part of responsible statesmen in any

of the countries named; it led nevertheless to the abandonment of the

original proposal and the passing of a bill in 1912 for the improvement

of the defences of the Dutch sea-ports generally.

The election of 1913 reversed the verdict of 1909. Probably in no

country has the principle of the "swing of the pendulum" been so

systematically verified as it has in Holland in recent times. The

returns were in 1913: Church parties, 41; liberals of all groups, 39;

socialists, 15. The most striking change was the increase in the

socialist vote, their representation being more than doubled; and, as in

1905, they held the balance of parties in their hands. With some

difficulty Dr Cort van den Linden succeeded in forming a liberal

ministry. The outbreak of the Great War in August, 1914, prevented them

from turning their attention to any other matters than those arising

from the maintenance of a strict neutrality in a conflict which placed

them in a most difficult and dangerous position. One of the first

questions on which they had to take a critical decision was the closing

of the Scheldt. As soon as Great Britain declared war on Germany (August

4), Holland refused to allow any belligerent vessels to pass over its

territorial waters. The events of the six years that have since passed

are too near for comment here. The liberal ministry at least deserves

credit for having steered the country safely through perilous waters.

Nevertheless, at the quadrennial election of 1917 there was the

customary swing of the pendulum; and an anti-liberal ministry (September

6) was formed, with a Catholic, M. Ruys de Beerenbronck, as first

minister.

EPILOGUE

The dynastic connection of Luxemburg with Holland ceased with the

accession of Queen Wilhelmina. The conditions under which the Belgian

province of Luxemburg was created, by the Treaty of Vienna in 1815, a

grand-duchy under the sovereignty of the head of the House of

Orange-Nassau with succession in default of heirs-male by the family

compact, known as the _Nassauischer Erbverein_, to the nearest male

agnate of the elder branch of the Nassau family, have already been

related. With the death of William III the male line of the House of

Orange-Nassau became extinct; and the succession passed to Adolphus,

Duke of Nassau-Weilburg. How unfortunate and ill-advised was the action

of the Congress of Vienna in the creation of the Grand-Duchy of

Luxemburg was abundantly shown by the difficulties and passions which it

aroused in the course of the negotiations for the erection of Belgium

into an independent state (1830-39). By the treaty of April 19, 1839,

the Walloon portion of Luxemburg became part of the kingdom of Belgium,

but in exchange for this cession the grand-duke obtained the sovereignty

of a strip of the Belgian province of Limburg. This caused a fresh

complication.

Luxemburg in 1815 was not merely severed from the Netherlands; it, as a

sovereign grand-duchy, was made a state of the Germanic confederation.

By virtue of the exchange sanctioned by the treaty of 1839, the ceded

portion of Limburg became a state of the confederation. But with the

revision of the Dutch constitution, which in 1840 followed the final

separation of Holland and Belgium, by the wish of the king his duchy of

Limburg was included in the new Fundamental Law, and thus became

practically a Dutch province. The Limburgers had thus a strange and

ambiguous position. They had to pay taxes, to furnish military

contingents and to send deputies to two different sovereign authorities.

This state of things continued with more or less friction, until the

victory of Prussia over Austria in 1866 led to the dissolution of the

Germanic confederation. At the conference of London, 1867, Luxemburg was

declared to be an independent state, whose neutrality was guaranteed

by the Great Powers, while Limburg became an integral portion of the

kingdom of the Netherlands.

Since the middle of the last century the financial position of Holland

has been continuously improving. The heavy indebtedness of the country,

in the period which followed the separation from Belgium, was gradually

diminished. This was effected for a number of years by the doubtful

expedient of the profits derived from the exploitation of the East

Indian colonies through the "Cultivation System." With the passing of

the revised Fundamental Law of 1848 the control of colonial affairs and

of the colonial budget was placed in the hands of the States-General;

and a considerable section of the Liberal party began henceforth to

agitate for the abolition of a system which was very oppressive to the

Javanese population. It was not, however, until 1871 that the reform was

carried out. Meanwhile, chiefly by the efforts of Thorbecke, the methods

of home finance had been greatly improved by the removal, so far as

possible, of indirect imposts, and the introduction of a free trade

policy, which since his days has been steadily maintained. Such a policy

is admirably suitable to a country which possesses neither minerals nor

coal[15], and whose wealth is mainly due to sea-or river-borne trade, to

dairy farming and to horticulture. For its supply of corn and many other

necessary commodities Holland has to look to other countries. The

fisheries still form one of the staple industries of the land, and

furnish a hardy sea-faring population for the considerable mercantile

marine, which is needed for constant intercourse with a colonial empire

(the third in importance at the present time) consisting chiefly of

islands in a far-distant ocean.

Between 1850 and 1914, 375,430,000 fl. have been devoted to the

reduction of debt; and the Sinking Fund in 1915 was 6,346,000 fl. Since

that date Holland has suffered from the consequences of the Great War,

but, having successfully maintained her neutrality, she has suffered

relatively far less than any of her neighbours. Taxation in Holland has

always been high. It is to a large extent an artificial country; and

vast sums have been expended and must always be expended in the upkeep

of the elaborate system of dykes and canals, by which the waters of the

ocean and the rivers are controlled and prevented from flooding large

areas of land lying below sea level.

Culture in Holland is widely diffused. The well-to-do classes usually

read and speak two or three languages beside their own; and the Dutch

language is a finished literary tongue of great flexibility and

copiousness. The system of education is excellent. Since 1900 attendance

at the primary schools between the ages of six and thirteen is

compulsory. Between the primary schools intermediate education

(_middelbaaronderwijs_) is represented by "burgher night-schools" and

"higher burgher schools." The night-schools are intended for those

engaged in agricultural or industrial work; the "higher schools" for

technical instruction, and much attention is paid to the study of the

_vier talen_--French, English, German and Dutch. In connection with

these there is an admirable School of Agriculture, Horticulture and

Forestry at Wageningen in Gelderland. To the teaching at Wageningen is

largely due the acknowledged supremacy of Holland in scientific

horticulture. There is a branch establishment at Groningen for

agricultural training, and another at Deventer for instruction in

subjects connected with colonial life. The _gymnasia_, which are to be

found in every town, are preparatory to the universities. The course

lasts six years; and the study of Latin and Greek in addition to modern

languages is compulsory. There are four universities, Leyden, Utrecht,

Groningen and Amsterdam. The possession of a doctor's degree at one of

these universities is necessary for magistrates, physicians, advocates,

and for teachers in the _gymnasia_ and higher burgher schools.

In so small a country the literary output is remarkable, and, marked as

it is by scientific and intellectual distinction, deserves to be more

widely read. The Dutch are justly proud of the great part their

forefathers played during the War of Independence, and in the days of

John de Witt and William III. For scientific historical research in the

national archives, and in the publication of documents bearing upon and

illustrating the national annals, Dutch historians can compare

favourably with those of any other country. Special mention should be

made of the labours of Robert Fruin, who may be described as the founder

of a school with many disciples, and whose collected works are a

veritable treasure-house of brilliant historical studies, combining

careful research with acute criticism. Among his many disciples the

names of Dr P.J. Blok and Dr H.T. Colenbrander are perhaps the best

known.

In the department of Biblical criticism there have been in Holland

several writers of European repute, foremost among whom stands the name

of Abraham Kuenen.

Dutch writers of fiction have been and are far more numerous than could

have been expected from the limited number of those able to read their

works. In the second half of the 19th century, J. van Lennep and Mevrouw

Bosboom-Toussaint were the most prolific writers. Both of these were

followers of the Walter Scott tradition, their novels being mainly

patriotic romances based upon episodes illustrating the past history of

the Dutch people. Van Lennep's contributions to literature were,

however, by no means confined to the writing of fiction, as his great

critical edition of Vondel's poetical works testifies. Mevrouw

Bosboom-Toussaint's novels were not only excellent from the literary

point of view, but as reproductions of historical events were most

conscientiously written. Her pictures, for instance, of the difficult

and involved period of Leicester's governor-generalship are admirable.

The writings of Douwes Dekker (under the pseudonym Multatuli) are

noteworthy from the fact that his novel _Max Havelaar_, dealing with

life in Java and setting forth the sufferings of the natives through the

"cultivation system," had a large share in bringing about its abolition.

The 20th century school of Dutch novelists is of a different type from

their predecessors and deals with life and life's problems in every

form. Among the present-day authors of fiction, the foremost place

belongs to Louis Couperus, an idealist and mystic, who as a stylist is

unapproached by any of his contemporaries.

No account of modern Holland would be complete without a notice of the

great revival of Dutch painting, which has taken place in the past half

century. Without exaggeration it may indeed be said that this modern

renascence of painting in Holland is not unworthy to be compared with

that of the days of Rembrandt. The names of Joseph Israels, Hendrik

Mesdag, Vincent van Gogh, Anton Maure, and, not least, of the three

talented brothers Maris, have attained a wide and well-deserved

reputation. And to these must be added others of high merit: Bilders,

Scheffer, Bosboom, Rochussen, Bakhuysen, Du Chattel, De Haas and

Haverman. The traditional representation of the Dutchman as stolid,

unemotional, wholly absorbed in trade and material interests, is a

caricature. These latter-day artists, like those of the 17th century,

conclusively prove that the Dutch race is singularly sensitive to the

poetry of form and colour, and that it possesses an inherited capacity

and power for excelling in the technical qualities of the painter's

art.
