Demand for Collaboration.

THE necessity Of fruitful union
demands the sincere collaboration Of
all citizens Of the same country
without distinction Of origin or Ian
guage. In this domain Of language
the strictest equality and the most
absolute justice will preside over the
elaboration of projects which the
government will submit to the ma
tional representatives..
"A reciprocal respect for the inter-
ests of the Flemings and the Wal
looms ought to be an integral principle
Of the administration and should
give to each the certainty Of being un-
derstood when he speaks his own
language and assure to him his full
intellectual development, especially
higher education"
In regard to the future status OF
Belgium, he declared:
Belgium, victorious and freed from
the neutrality that was imposed upon
her by states which have been shat
tered to their foundation by war, will
enjoy complete independence.
