PACIFIC BELGIUM
NEGOTIATES NEW TREATY
BRUSSELS, 17th" January.
Advices from Pekin state that "the Belgian Minister addressed a Note to the Chinese Foreign Office regarding the conclusion of a new jChino-Belgian treaty and the suspension of the proceedings instituted by Belgium before the Court of International Justice, with reference to China's denunciation of the treaty of 1865. It appears that Dr. Wellington Koo, the Foreign Minister at Pekin, recently proposed to Belgium the renewal of negotiations for the conclusion of a commercial treaty to replace the treaty of 1865, and the Belgian Minister in Peldn was instructed to reply favourably thereto. Belgium meanwhile reserves the right to take the case before the Hague Court if the negotitations fail. - '
