Would Permit Rehabilitation

tsY sosmao ,oupnAL srsolAl LEASED wlssl

London, Feb 20 Gl1:5l p. MI
The proposed plan of aiding Belgium
to feed herself by rehabilitating the
industries of the country under con-
trol of the American commission for
relief in Belgium has failed, accord
ing Il letter written by Sir Edward
Grey, the British foreign secretary, 10
NJ. lIymans, the Belgian minister here,
because the Germans thus far have
failed to reply to the request of guar
antces that raw materials and manu-
factured goods will not be seized by
the occupying armies.
Sir Edward Grey's letter to the Bel
gian minister says
Il now enclose memorandum
which shows the true state Of the case.
should add that the question here
dealt with is entirely distinct from
the importation Of fooGstuffs into Bel
gium by the relief commission
The memorandum referred to by
Sir Edward Grey says.
Allies Are Blamed.
1T is understood there is a strong
feeling among the Belgians that the
Industrial distress of Belgium is to be
attributed solely to the action of the
allied governments in preventing i'm
ports and ii Is often contended that
this action does not appreciably harm
Germany while ii involves a most
painful loss to the people of our ally.
The memorandum then explains
that the British government cannot
agree that Belgian industry can be
maintained in the present circum-
stances without very considerable
benefit to Great Britain's enemies and
without involving a postponement of
Belgian independence. But the gov
ernment, it says. is fully impressed
with the necessity Of supporting the
Belgian population. For this reason
it has supported the commission for
relief in Belgium ana permitted eX-
port trade from Belgium under GER
tain conditions. Also for this reason.
the memorandum adds. the govern
ment some months ago asserted its
willingness to consider proposals for
the importation of raw materials into
Belgium through the agency and un-
der the guarantees of the relief com
mission.
