Might Yield Belgium;
Must Keep Antwerp
The NeaU York Tribune
Foreign Press Bureau

The "Kolnische Zeitung" writes that
even if Germany should decide to
evacuate Belgium, she cannot give up
Antwerp, as that would be a great
loss" to German industries and com
merce.
Owe can state without exaggeraton, "
says the organ of the Fatherland party
"that the port of Antwerp is indis-
pensable to the interests of the indus
tries, commerce and communications
of our west and south. Should we
lose Antwerp or should we find some
difficulties in making use of it, that
would mean the loss OF all advantages
which Antwerp offers to a great part
of Germany"
The possession of Antwerp, the Ger
man paper goes on to say, would en-,
able Germany to build direct road
to that harbor, to fight an economic
war against the Allies after the con-
clusion of peace and dispense with the
use of the port OF Rotterdam.
