FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
MESSAGE TO BELGIANS LONDON, Aug. 9. “A message based on facts” was the substance of .a broadcast talk given in the British Broadcasting Corporation’s Belgian programme by M. Spaak, the Belgian Foreign Minister, who said: “The situation of Belgium is improving. You know how great have been our troubles, You know how strongly we gave the impression last year not only of having been beaten but of being divided and rising up against each other. “Skilful German propaganda spoke of Belgium as having rallied to the new order. Our King was said ’to be opposed to those fighting abroad. Little by little these clouds and these misunderstandings are lifting. The truth ip dawning that there is but one Belgium and that there is but one Belgian thought—the resistance to German oppression and the will to recover freedom and independence.”
