ONE PARTY FAvORS FORCE
(By the Associated Press.)

Paris, Nov. 12--Alarmist reports of
high tension and probable rupture of
diplomatic relations between Belgium
and Holland, which have been current
for the past few days in Brussels and
in diplomatic and peace conference
circles here. have their source in the
interior politics of Belgium and are
fostered by the political party favor
ing al energetic policy toward Holland,
according to a member of the Belgian
delegation in Paris.
Recurrence of these reports which
have sprung up from time to time, the
Belgian says, has been caused by the
flag burning incident at Breskens,
where Dutch sailors hauled down the
Belgian flag, trampled and burned it
and also by the sinking of the Belgian
yacht Java in Brounershaven harbor
by a few drunken rowdies.
Belgium has no time to go to war
over such trifles," declared the dele
gate. ''She is too busy. A note prob
ably will be sent to the Dutch govern
ment asking explanations of these in
cidents, but the note will not be
couched in such severe terms as the
nationalist party would request. Bel
