Dutch Flood Losses Top One Billion Guilders
Prime Minister Wil en Drees announced an official damage estimate of one billion guilders from last week’s floods in Holland. The figure converts to about 265 million dollars at the official rate. He cautioned the amount is preliminary and may rise as dikes are repaired. As around one-sixth of Holland’s below sea level land flooded, hundreds of villages and farms remain under salt water and food production will be disrupted for some time. Almost 1,400 lives were lost. The floods come soon after Holland stated it no longer needed U.S. aid for economic stability and will not affect defense commitments under NATO.
