WASHINGTON, March 29-Sub-
lection of the Belgian relief commits
sion ITO a news quarantine prior TO
their departure from behind the Ger
man lines was explained at the state
department today as proper course
agreed upon when the relief workers
were invited TO remain in Belgium.
Reports that Brand Whitlock, min
lister to Belgium, and other diplomatic
officers also would be detained were
not credited, as assurances have been
received to the contrary. The de-
partment issued this statement:
There appears to be some mis-
apprehension as to the delay in the
withdrawal of American members of
the commission for relief in Belgium.
Shortly after the break in relations
with Germany negotiations were IN
stltuted with view to providing for
the continuation of the relief work.
The German authorities invited the
American members to remain and
gave written assurances that they
might leave whenever they desired to
give up the work. II was stipulated,
however, that they should upon re-
linquishing their work remain for a
period of two or three weeks in some
German city on their way to SwitZer.
land in order to prevent the transmits
sion of any fresh information. This
condition was accepted by the relief
commission.
1T is not anticipated that the
American diplomatic or consular Of
ficcrs will be detained during this pc
riod, as written assurances have been
received thru the Spanish government
that they will be permitted to pro-
ceed directly to Switzerland.
