Speaks
To Houses
OfCOngress

Z King Albert Of the Belgians paid
homage in the House of Representa-
| tives today to the American Army.
which he described as "the decisive
| factor in determining the victory"
In an address to the Senate a few
minutes earlier he had asserted that
nothing could better characterize the
reign OF universal democracy" than
the friendship between his country
and the United States.
The addresses of his majesty today
were the longest and most important
he has made in America. They were
| intended as messages to the entire
| nation, and his sincerity in expressing
the thanks Of Belgium to Americans
Il salute" he said to the Senate,
mot only the eminent men who re-
cefved me here during the day. but
L salute the memory of your great
predecessors. who, during 100 years,
have sat in this place and given TO
the whole world the example of high
est civic virtues. This welcome of
the Senate seals that reception, so
warm and so spontaneous, I have re-
ceived everywhere during my journey
across this magnificent country.
am deeply moved by the expressions
of sympathy that the name of Bel
GUM evokes from this noble Ameri-
can people
Equality in Love Of Liberty.
Nothing could better characterize
the reign of universal democracy
than the friendship which unites the
great republic with its one hundred
and ten million citizens and the
realm Of which I am the constitu-
tional head. with its seven and a half
million inhabitants. II there is no
equality of power and riches between
them, there is equality in the love of
liberty and in aspiration toward So
cial progress. On both sides of the
Atlantic the same ideal inspires us.
The exchange OF ideas: the CONNER
cial relations, the visits to Belgium
OF eminent American citizens, of
whom many sit in this assembly, are
so many means Of Tightening the
bonds between the two nations.
II hope with all my heart that these
memory. which have been fortified dur
ing the war as we'll as by the admir-
able assistance which you rendered
Belgium by feeding her people and by
fraternity in arms. will never cease to
develop for the great good of the two
peoples"
Address in House.
The visit to the Senate Of King Al
bert and the Duke Of Brabant lasted
only half an hour. and they went i'm
mediately to the House. In his ad-
dress there his majesty said:
II am happy to be able to bear TO
this chamber, which embodies the liv-
ing spirit of the American people, the
greetings of Belgium, democratic and
parliamentarian state created by the
vote of the popular assembly Of 1890.
which proclaimed the Independence of
our provinces. 1t is a pleasure to re-
call that many Of the provisions of our
were taken from your
fundamental law. so that at the outset
of her career Belgium was indebted to
you.
Our two peoples have fought and
triumphed together. The interview

victory. I pay my respectful ana

In full belief that officers of the in
ternational body who ordered the
strike have power to stop it, govern
ment officials awaited the next step,
which must come from the miners.
Confidential reports from the central
coal field territory indicated. it was
said. that not all of the mining army
of more than half a million men
would quit work.
Steps to be taken by the govern
nent to deal with the strike, ii it
takes place, will be considered finally
today at a meeting of the cabinet.
There was a more hopeful view in
the governments determination to be
ready with all of its machinery to
meet the situation if the miners quit.
