FRIENDSHIP WITH BELGIUM
* - TRIBUTE BY SIR JOHN SIMON (BRITISH OFFICIAL. WIRELESS.) (Received November 5, 7.30 p.m.) RUGBY, November 4. Sir John Simon (Chancellor of the Exchequer), at the annual dinner of the Anglo-Belgian Union in celebration of the thirty-sixth birthday of the King of the Belgians, said that the bonds of friendship and mutual understanding which bound Belgium and Britain so closely together were rooted, deep in the past. He hoped that the continued association between the two countries might be one of comradeship in work for peace and for establishing the widest European understanding. In a fortnight’s time Great Britain was to have the_ great honour and privilege of a visit from the King of the Belgians, who would be greeted not only as a good king, but as a great, devoted, and high-minded man.
