GERMAN TERMS
GUARANTEES TO BELGIUM v
RENUNCIATION OF COVENANT
NO SUCCESS YET
United Tress Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, April 27. The German attempt to neutralise Belgium permanently, thereby paralysing Franco-British intervention on the Western Front in the event of trouble in the East, formed the background of yesterday's conversations between the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Anthony Eden, and Belgian Ministers, says the Brussels correspondent of the "Morning Post."
The German Government, it is understood, intimated that .it will only guarantee Belgian independence if Belgium denounces her League Covenant obligations and gives assurances that she will not, under any circumstances, allow the passage of foreign troops across her territory.
The correspondent adds that there is no doubt that Germany is employing all her resources to wean Belgium from Franco-British influence. The chief result of Mr, Eden's conversations is to show that so far she has not succeeded. ;■'■'■ ' ':■ '.■-..
