BERLIN DEFENDS DEPoRTATIoNs
Reply to v. S. Says Only Public
Chirass ArA Taken.

Charges Are Taken.
Washington, Jan N.-Germany's re-
ply to the American protest against
the deportation of Belgians, dispatched
from Berlin on Dec. 13, and which the
state department had declined to make
public, was disclosed today. Germany
says that employments to which a
hostile population can not be coerced,
in accordance with international law,
are excluded. Germany offers an op-
portunity for member of the Ameri-
can embassy at Berlin to inspect the
conditions under which the eXiled
Belgians are compelled to labor and
also politely points out that neutrals
have not protested against the de-
portation of Germans from East Prus-
sia to Siberia.
"The German government thinks that
the government Of the United States
of America has been incorrectly in
formed about the cause and the execu-
ton Of the measures taken" the reply
says, "and it, therefore, considers it
appropriate to first explain the facts
in detail.
6Iames Isolation by, British.
In Belgium, Unemployment, since a
considerable time, has been extending
In a perplexing way among the indus
trial working men. This problem Of
unemployment has been caused by the
British policy of isolation, which has
cut off Belgian industry from the i'm
portation of raw materials and from
the expectation Of manufactured goods.
By this measure, almost half Of the
worl1ingmen of the Belgian factories,
numbering more than 100000 were
deprived of the possibility Of earning a
living and many more than half mil
lion Belgians, who formerly supported
themselves by Industrial work, were
shus made dependent on public re-

doubtless implies that able bodied per-
sons, as far as they live on public char
ity and by their idleness become pub
lie calamity and nuisance, should be
held to work. The order has been car
ried out under the observance Of all
possible consideration and without
harshness. |
Dependents Only Deported.
"Only such persons are sent to Ger

find no work in Belgium, and who re-

Of course, excluded. If the government
Of the United States attaches import

conditions under which these persons

THE 01saan government finally
feels obliged to point out the fact that
the deportation Of the German popu-

from German colonies occupied by
