EYES ON BELGIUM
PIVOT OF WORLD'S AFFAIRS M. VAN ZEELAND AN OUTSTANDING STATESMAN Press Association —-By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, April 20. For the time being Brussels has become, the pivot, of the world’s affairs, whilst M. Van Zeeland is simultaneously the outstanding statesman. Dr Schacht has already gone to Brussels, Mr Anthony Eden departs thither on April 25, and Mr Norman Davis soon afterwards. Mr Eden will participate in vital conversations in connection with M. Van Zeeland’s mission to report to the world on freeing international trade by lowering the tariff barriers. British official quarters say it is rather early to anticipate a world economic conference in the autumn, hut believe that if any man to-day is able to give, a lead in solving the world’s economic problems that man is M. Van Zeeland, whom Whitehall couples with M. Blum as being head and shoulders over other European statesmen. '
