THE TROUBLE BETWEEN BELGIUM AND
GERMANY on THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
QUE ON The Prussian note TO Belgium
concerning the pastOrals of the bishops and
other matters of offence, after enumerating
the causes of complaints, adds: 1t is scarcely
possible that the laws OF Belgium cannot
enable the government TO stop undertakings
which might alter its relations with neigh
bOring states. Neutral states which wish To
preserve the advantage of their position
should carefully avoid anything which
might alter that principle of neutrality
which is the basis of their existence. IfB.l-
gian laws do not contain the authority ne
cessary to obtain the legitimate satisfaction
claimed by the German government, the lat
ter hopes Belgian will supply the deficiency
by fresh legislation.
In answer Belgium rcfutes the claim put
forward and reminds Germany that the
pastoral letters complained of were pub
lished at the beginning of the struggle in
Germany against the Pope, and ought now
to be forgotten. The address of sympathy to
the imprisoned bishops of Paderborn, another
grievance alleged by Germany, Belgium in
sists, was the act of individuals, not ola or
ganiZed society. Independent and neutral
Belgium has never done anything, notwith-
standing the incessant intercourse between
the two countries, that could alter its rela-
tons with a friendly nation which guaran-
tees her independence.
