RELYING ON BRITAIN
Belgian Safety in Europe UNWILLING TO DISARM Brussels, April 29. “Belgium will rely implicitly on the prompt aid of the British Army if her territory is re-violated,” declared the Defence Minister, M. De Broqueville, in discussing in the Chamber of Deputies the remodelling of Belgian fortifications. He added that they must create fortified areas, under cover of which the army would be able to await British help to repulse invasion. It was not for Belgium to disarm while she was surrounded by powerful neighbours. Peace-loving Belgium had been the scene of every invasion. Let the big nations disarm first. They had nothing td fear from Belgium.
