Little Belgium, historic battlefield
for the armies of the world, last
night shook the intricate framework
of Europes interlocking alliances.
1t was reported in Paris that the
Belgian foreign minister, P. Henry
Spaak, intimated to French Ambas-
sador Jules La Roche that Belgium
ultimately would withdraw from all
treaties pledging Belgian military as
sistance.
Belgium, the foreign minister said,
probably would abandon her mutual
assistance pact with France, remain
out of any Locarno five-power treaty
and abridge her obligations to other
nations under the League Of Ma
tions covenant.
For the present. however, France
was assured Belgium would respect
existing pacts and probably would
wait until a future conference oil
the Locarno signatorieS to make
known details of her foreign policies
The other Locarno, signatories are
France, Great Britain, Germany and
Italy. The Locarno pact has been
so weakened as to be almost ooso-
lete in Europe's collective security
since Germany rearmed the demill-
tarized Rhineland last March.
