REPARATIONS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE THESS. Sir, —'May-1 trespass on the hospitality of your columns to put in its true light a statement' which is conducive to doing a great deal of harm to the good relationship existing between our two countries? An Australian Press Association message appearing in the Press of this Dominion on the 20th of April reproduces part of an article of the London "Financial Times'' embodying impressions of its Paris correspondent and reading as follows: —"Sir Joseph Stamp and Sir Charles Addis were obliged to stand up firmly against the French, Belgian, and Italian delegates for reparations claimed by the British Dominions. Representatives of the countries named sought strenuously to have the Dominions' claims parcelled out between them." I have been instructed by Mr Paul Hymans, Belgian Minister, for Foreign Affairs at Brussels, to give those allegations, and as far as Belgium is concerned, an official and most emphatic denial. —Yours, etc., ARM AND NIHOTTE. Consul for Belgium in New Zealand. Wellington, May 3rd.
