Point at Issue With Great
Britain Is Delicate as Ma
ton Considers Its Honor
Has Been Touched,
Hy james NJ. Tuoiy.

Paris, May 1.-THE point at issue
between Belgium and Great Britain
over the former German colonies in
East Africa is rather delicate, as Bel
GUM considers her honor touched
over the way she has been trested by
the btg four. Belgium claims il was
on her initiative that the campaign in
East Africa was begun, and that she
captured about one-third of the Ger
man colony. To her surprise, Great
Britain rot the mandatory over the
entire colony, from the big roGr.
1t is now suggested that Belgium
should enter into conversations with
Great Britain for ratification of what
Belgium declares to be an injustice
But Belgium contends that it is not
with Great Britain that she should
deal, hut with the big four. She
contends that she has the right to the
territory that she captured and that
conversations with Great Britain
would place her in the position of
offering compensation to Great Brit
ain in return for what is Belgian by
right
One reason why Great Britain
claimed the mandatory or the whole
OF the iOr1ICr German Els' africa is
sald tn have been the npprcht nsion
that if Belgium got the strip captured
by her. it would make more difficult
British imperialistic plan for Cape
to Cape railroad. Belgium is perfect
ly willing to come to an agreement
with Britain TO facilitate the construc-
ton of the railroad Great Britain
maintains that she must have the
over the territory to be
traversed, while Belgium claims the
mandatory as of right and insists on
being left free to treat with Great
Britain on that basis.
Belgiums position is almost exactly
to that of Japan in Shan
tung; but while Japan's possession of
the territory was recognized, Belgium's
was ignored. Lord Miner,
the British colonial secretary. is now
in Paris, and will meet Belgian Colo
NAL Minister Orts, but the Belgian
grievance remains unreleved
