Brussels, Dec. 25.-Paul Hymans,
foreign minister, made long state
ment on Belgium's foreign policy.
Concerning the revision of the
treaty of 1889, he was unable to en-

her honor and national dignity.

REVISION OF TREATY CAN
COME ONLY THROUGH LEAGUE

Berlin, July 13.-(By The Associat-
ed Press).-Count Won Bernstorff, for
mer German ambassador at Washing
ton, writing in the Weekly Demo-
cratic Germany, advocates a pro-
AAmerican policy and points out that
{. revision Of the treaty Of peace can
come only through the League Of Ma
tions
When, Germany is, received into
the league, he says. "she can hope for
world order checking imperialism
by individual powers and bringing
about a system binding peoples to-
gether across the frontiers Of states.
hardly need to point out that such
a policy would lead US to the side Of
the United States. There the idea Of
a League Of Nations is a living one.
mere alone are funds to be found.
ana there the principal champion OF
me league idea will be at the helm
Tor another 20 months"
Count Won Bernstorff says that So
clallsm is unpopular in the United
states, and therefore, if Germany
wishes to cultivate friendly relations
WIN That country they must convince
americans not only that "militariem
is dead. but that new GERMANY has
no intention of fostering a socialist
world revolution"
