American Government Places Case Be-
fore Public Opinion.

tore Public OPINION
Washington, Dec. 9.-With puEllca :
ton Of the American profess to Ger
many on the deportation of BelgiaEs,
state department officials disclosed to-
day that the United States government
has exhausted it's means of diplomacy
and has laid the case before American
opinion from which it viii draw guild
ance for the next step. If any be taken.
The German reply as implied is that
the deportations are regarded as justi-
fled on the grounds of social necessity
No actual reply In the form of note
has been received from Germany, but
no doubt mas been left by the chancel-
lor that the protests of the United
states will not be needed Official In
formation shows that the deportations
are continuing.
Publication of the protes- was dis
closed at the state department today
to be for the purpose of placing the
case before American opinion. Publica- :
ton Of the document might be inter-
preted as unfriendlv bu: this contin-
gency had been taken into considera- =
ton before it was given out.
The state department feels that
has gone far beyond the official bounds
in it's protest to Germany ard that in a
strictly conventional sense it has al
most no right to discuss the matter
with Germany as Belgium's interests
in that country are represented by
Spain and not by the United States.
May Terminate American Relief.
No Indication has been given as to
when the official German reply will be
received or IL one will be sent, but It is
understood that If one does come It will
be made public If the German govern
ment desires. The note last night, !.
was stated, was made public without
consultation with Germany.
With the apparent failure OF the
American protest, as well as those of
Holland Spain and the Vatican and
the deportations unabated, the state
department will await the expression
of public opinion before another step
is taken. The next step may be the
making, public Of further information,
of the extent and machinery of the de-
portations.
Meanwhile the second official state
