The Status Of Belgium.
I'm conclusion the allied powers
think IL necessary to put forward the
following considerations, which show
the special situation of Belgium after
two and half years OF war. In virtue
OF the international treaties signed by
five great European powers, Of whom
Germany was one, Belgium enjoyed
before the war special status. ren
dering her territory inviolable and
placing her under the guarantee OF
the powers, outside OF all European
conflicts.
"She was, however, in spite OF these
treaties, the first TO suffer the ag-
gression OF Germany. For this reason
the Belgian government thinks IL nee
essary TO define the aims which Bel
GUM has never ceased TO pursue
while fighting side by side with the
entente powers for right and justice.
Belgium has always scrupulously
fulfilled the duties which her neutral
ity imposed upon her. She has taken
up arms to defend her independence
and her neutrality violated by Ger
many and to show that she remains
raithful to her international obliga-
tions.
"On the fourth OF August, 1914. in
the Reichstag. the German Chancel-
lor admitted that this aggression
constituted an injustice contrary to
the laws OF nations and pledged
himself in the name OF Germany TO
repair it, During two and half
years this injustice has been cruelty
by the proceedings OF the
ccupying forces. which have exhausted
the resources OF the country, ruined
villages and have been responsible
for innumerable massacres, eXecu-
tions and imprisonments.
AT this very moment. while Ger
many is proclaiming peace and hui
TO the world she is deporting
Belgian citizens by thousands and re-
ducing them TO slavery.
Belgium before the war asked for !
nothing but TO live in harmony with /
her neighbors. Her King and her gov
ernment have but one aim-the re-
establishment of peace and justice. /
But they desire only peace which I
would assure to their country legiti- /
mate reparation, guarantees and safe /
guards for the future"
