14 II FUTURE SITUATION BETWEEN THE
NETHERLANDS AND BELGIUM.
A trsTEttnam, AliG. 14.—8 y the separation of the Aus-
t
ten'th Nc'.herlands from Holland, our kingdom has lost a
crrl tr Against France, to obtain which our ancestors saeri-
o"" .trx a century and a half oceans of blood and millions
stit
nney. Without the southern frontier Holland is con-
tt:th ly exposed to imminent danger. It was therefore
1,4: rat As soon as the separation was decided, every person
kilitig on the subject should ask, how shall Holland re-
lists injury which this political event has done to the
say' Rvo. of the country ?
weak Government like ours, the question cannot
"n emain doubtful.
~ Belgium must he withdrawn from the influence of
" ranee. France itself is cooperating to produce this
7 esult. In proportion as principles of irreligion, immo-
rality, and disorder gain ground in that country, the snore
'averss. to France and its influence will the sound portion
f the Belgian nation—and this is certainly ninety-nine
parts out of a hundred—become.
lint this is not enough. The Belgians must likewise
he convinced that they have no so natural an ally as Hol-
land, and that it is only by mutually protecting each
°filemss independence that the two countries can avert the
danger of becoming sooner or later the prey of powerful
neighbours.
Belgium itself must, therefore, understand that its own
in tL,
reat calls on it to serve as a barrier to Holland. But
tO sfect this Belgium must no longer consider Holland as
'ostile state, that looks with jealous eyes on its indepen-
d 4°ne, and intends to embrace the first opportunity of
attacking it.
Holland must have confidence in Belgium, and treat it
as a good neighbour, on whose assistance it depends, should
ritnessity require it, and which it is ready to help in time
nf dmigrr.
Tu this end we must enter into relations with Belgium,
v`titels .must be marked by all possible testimonies of sin-
cerity and good will.
Such, in a few words, is the system that those who take
a just view of the state of things recognise as that which
Sound policy furnishes to Holland.
The Handelsblad considers the choice of Baron Falck as
Ambassador to Belgium as a pledge for the faithful exe-
cution of the system.
