References of Dutches that their policy of that period was under construction only on trading interests, are insolvent. The Netherlands carried out a colonial policy in its classical form. Cruelty and obezljudenie was born by them everywhere where got. K.Marx in "Capital" results such curious figure: for 50 years in one of provinces of Java the population has decreased in 10 (!) times.
