LEAD TO WORLD Brussels the Pivot of Nations’ Affairs VAN ZEELAND’S TASK Coming Visit by British Foreign Secretary LOWERING TRADE BARS By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received April 21, 12.30 a.m.) London, April 20. For the time being Brussels has become the pivot of the world’s affairs, while the Prime Minister, Dr. Paul van Zeeland, is simultaneously the outstanding statesman in Europe. The German Minister of National Economy. Dr. Ji. Schacht, already has visited Brussels, the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Anthony Eden, will leave for the Belgian Capital on Sunday next, and the United States Ambassador-at-Large, Mr. Norman H. Davis, - will follow shortly after. Mr. Eden will participate in vital conversations in connection with Dr. Van Zeeland’s mission to report to the world on the freeing of international trade by the lowering of tariff barriers. British official quarters say it is too early yet to anticipate a world economic conference in the autumn, but they believe that if any man to-day is able to give a lead in solving the world’s economic problems, that man is Dr. Van Zeeland. Whitehall couples him with the French Prime Minister, M. Leon Blum, as standing head and shoulders over any other European statesmen.
