Washington, November 30
Tho New York Times Brussels correspondent, interviewed M. de ia Chroix, the new Belgian Premier. He said: England and tho United States assured us they would treat us like Englishmen or Americans. We cannot enter the Entente Zolverein, for we must remain free and independent. I hope England will retain her free trade policy_, and I hope and believe, we shall remain neutral, but wo do not like neutrality which has been forced upon us by the Powers. We may enter alliances for the purpose of defending our independence.
