HOMAGE OF BELGIUM
King Albert speaks in Senate ans
House.


King Albert of the Belgians, paid
homage in the house of representatives
last Monday 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
region of universal democracy" than
the friendship between his country
and the United States.
The addresses of His Majesty were
the longest and most important he has
made in America, they were intended
us messages to the entire nation and
his sincerity in expressing the thanks
of Belgium to Americans for their aid
was plainly evident.
81 salute" he said to the senate.
mot only the eminent men who re-
ceivcd me here during the day but
salute the memory of your great pre-
decessors who, during 130 years have
sat in this place and given to the
whole world the example 70 highest
civic virtues. This welcome of the
senate seals that reception, so warm
and SO spontaneous, l have received
everywhere in my journey across the
country. | am deeply moved by the
expressions Of sympathy that the
name of Belgium evokes from this
,nI,Io ap,or;cop paopIo
Nothing could better characterize
the region of universal democracy
than that friendship that unites the
great republic with its one hundred
and ten million citizens and the realm
of which 1 am the constitutional head
with its seven and a half million in
habitant3. If there is no equality OF
powers and riches between them.
there is equality in the love of lib
crty and In aspiration towards social
progress. On both sides of the At
lantic the same ideal inspires us. The
exchange of ideals, the commercial re-
lat!ons, the visits to Belgium of emf
ncnt AmcricancitizenS, Of wh.m many
sit in this assembly, are so many
means of tightening the bonds be-
tween the two nations.
IL hope with all my heart that these
relations which go back as far as
memory, which have been fortified
during the war as we'll as by the ad-
mirable assistance which you render
ed Belgium by feeding her people and
by fraternity in arms, will never ,ease
to develop for the great good of the
two peoples"
