KING LEOPOLD ARRIVES IN LONDON
Chance to Clear Up Foreign Policy Issue (Received 3.30 p.m.) RUGBY, March 22. King Leopold, of the Belgians, has arrived in London.

The “Times,” in a leader, says that, although the visit is private, it is doubly welcome and opportune at the present time, because it affords a chance for explanations and frank discussions of recent changes in Belgian foreign policy.
