PACT WITH ENGLAND
DENIED BY HAVEN|TH

NEW YORK. Dec. 22.-E. Havenith.
Belgian minister to the United States,
who is in this city. has isgred a state
ment dealing with certain documents
which are said to have been found in
the Belgian government archives at
Brussels bv German officials. Concern
ing these papers. which, as he puts 1t.
the German government claims
prove that Belgium violated her neu-
trality." the minister said:
The Belgian minister is unable to see
how it can be said that these documents
constitute a proof OF an agreement be-
tween England and Belgium against
Germany. unless one accepts the idea
that Germany had a right to violate
Beigium's neutrality, and that all meas
ures taken as a precaution against vio-
lation of neutrality must therefore,
have been taken against Germany.
The documents contain merely con-
versations between military officers in
regard to a possible future Corpora
ton of their armies in the event OF a
violation OF Belgian territory by Ger
many. They never even resulted In
an agreement between those govern
rnents, military attaches having no
authority to make such an agreement
The events that happened last Aug
ust and the sudden investor OF Belgium
by Germany. show that the British gov
eminent was fully justified in fearing
the violation of Belgian territory by
Germany.

Back OF the introduction of the
measures by Senator Lodge there is n
practical movement to get Belgians 10
enter this country and take up agricui-
tural lands in the South. The South
ern Development Company, a company
said to be strongly backed, has evolved
plan TO bring Belgian agricultural
immigrants to this country; to bring
them in not as individuals but by fam
lies; and to advance on longtime and
moderate-intercst rates to the head OF
