The Low Countries Neutrality
Both Belgium and Holland have been neutral States in this war. Dutch neutrality is not inter nationally guaranteed like that of Switzerland. Holland is free to act as she thinks fit. The Belgian position is different. She had, till 1936, a military agreement vtith France. But France and Britain still guarantee her integrity. Germany, too, has guaranteed her neutrality There are, at present, no military agreements between Holland and'Belgium. Both Powers are signatories of the Oslo Convention, together with Siveden, Norway, Denmark and Luxemburg, for the joint discussion of economic problems.
