Commenting on Belgian Dutch

"One suggestion is that these in

friendly, unofficial warnings from
Italy of a coming German attack.
Neutral countries in the unhappy
position of being Germany's neigh

Earlier, authoritative sources in
London said they knew of no rea-
son for nervousness on the part of
Belgium and the Netherlands.
Britain is pledged to uphold Bel

The right front part of the car

Taking recognition of this feeling
in congress, the White House said
yesterday that the question probably
