BELGIAN VISIT
200 Protest Against U.S. (N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) BRUSSELS, April 9. Protest demonstrations against the American role in Vietnam followed the United States Vice-Presi-dent, Mr Humphrey, to Belgium yesterday—but the scale was low-key compared to the anger he encountered in Paris. About 200 young people carrying anti-American banners and shouting slogans criticising United States policy, demonstrated in the centre of Brussels as Mr Humphrey conferred with the Belgian Prime Minister, Mr Paul Vanden Boeynants, shortly after arriving in Brussels on the last stage of his European tour. One of the banners read: “Humphrey Assassin,” but the protest lasted only a short time and there were no incidents. Mr Humphrey told reporters after his two-hour talks with the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister, Mr Pierre Harmel, that it had been “one of the most cordial, helpful and co-operative meetings I have had in Europe.”
