What the Belgian government would
like to do is to work out a compromise
plan, smoothing over temporarily the
points in dispute which divide France
from Great Britain, and re-estabiishine
momentarily the interallied unity OF
front toward Germany.
Work for Compromise.
Belgian diplomats and statesmen are
working frantically to bring about this
result. They profess to be encouraged
In their efforts by the arrival in Brus-
sells of another eminent expert in the
art Of compromise, namely, Foreign
MinisterEduard Benes Of Czechoslovakia,
who, after extended visits to London
and Paris, now has come here 70 con-
suit with Premier Theunis and Foreign
Minister Jaspar of Belgium. One
scheme of compromise in favor here
was given to the writer as follows by q
member Of the Belgian parliament:

proposal for the convocation of a con-
ference of experts to examine Ger

this same conference be subordinated
to the authority of the reparations COM

the treaty Of Verailles by grant Of the
consultative powers only.
Gradually Leave Ruhr.
"3. The transformation of the Ruhr

gested by the late papal letter on

Of all claims to reparations in excess

''5. Recognition Of en-and "a

minimum to Belgium to pay for the

On terms such as these Belgium
would be willing TO come to terms, ir
respective of the attitude of France.
II the above plan and other attempts
at a compromise should fall, however
1t Is admitted that Belgium would be
forced into an ugly position. De-
spite Of the sympathy for France, thu

GERMAN PROTEST
DELIVERED TO us.
Envoy Transmits Copy to
Hughes-No Action Re-
quired, Is Said.

DR.. Otto Wiedfeldt, the German
ambassador, delivered to Secretary
Hughes yesterday a copy of the pro-
Test which the German government
has lodged with the French and Bel
Sian governments against continua-
ton of the blockade established by
French and Belgian forces preventing
passage of persons between the oc-
cupied and unoccupied portions of
Germany.
The protest said the blockade, or
dered in retaliation for alleged sa-
potage by Germans, was to have
continued until July 16, but the ex-
pulsion by the German police from
unoccupied Germany of two French
soldiers who had pursued smugglers
from the occupied zone was made the
pretext for an indefinite extension of
the order, which, it is contended. is in
flctlng great hardships and injury on
many innocent people.
The note left with Secretary
hughes was for purposes of informa-
S Sion ana requires no action by the

the American conSulates at CoblenZ
or Cologne, requesting that licenses
be sought on the basis of information
contained in the messages, to be sup
ported by documentary data forward
ed by mail subsequently,.
Date Set for June 30.
The departments announcement re-
Ca lied that American buyers had been
informed June 19 that the inter-
allied Rhineland high commission had
definitely set the date of June 80 as
the limit Of time within which appli-
cations for export licenses would be
received. The new adviceS to the
department show that the time limit
has been extended, with no definite
GATE of expiration fixed.
The department urged American
firms which had failed thus far to
make application for licenses TO in
clude statements of the amount char
acter, value of shipment, date of
purchase, name of German buyer and
name of the firms agent in the oc-
cupfed territory, in cablegrams to the
embassy or conSulates 1t was further
noted that some American firms had
failed to give sufficient particulars in
making applications for licenses.

that his cabinet would make no move
toward further rapprochment
with either France or Great Britain
WITHOUT consulting the chamber of
deputies.
Trade Hit BY Policy.
The commercial interests Of Bel
gium coincide with those Of Great
Britain more than with those of
France. The port of Antwerp is hard
hit by the disturbed conditions in the
Rhileland and in the Ruhr.
Business is depressed, commerce is
languishing, the exchange Is de-
scending and unemployment is in
creasing through q persistence In the
uncertainty as to reparations.
An excess in population of 100000
souls is said to have grown up In
the countryside. Belgium realizes
that she is not a self-sufficing nation
like France. Finally, some politicians
seem inclined to fear that little Bel
gium sooner or later will be swal-
lowed up by France if Great Britain
decides to withdraw from the entente.
Benes Is Hopeful.
y compromise transaction between
Great Britain and France is more pos
sible than most people expect, ac-
cording to DR.. Benes. Judging by as
surances given him, he said, the Brit
ish note will not be couched in terms
capable of bringing about a rupture
between the cabinets in London and
Paris.
He told the writer today that ac-
cording to data given him experts de-
manded by Great Britain as judges Of

be accepted by France IL they were
