BELGIAN PATRIOTS
HANDING IN OF ARMS LONDON, Nov. 17. Members of the Belgian Resistance Movements must be disbanded by tomorrow. says a Brussels message. Forty thousand will be affected. It is officially admitted, however, that all members of the Resistance Movements are unlikely to lay down their arms. Persuasion will at first be tried, but if the members still refuse force will be applied. It is announced that the British authorities will agree to the Belgian plans for armament and equipment for new units of the Belgian Army and police force, says the Brussels correspondent of The Times. Some Belgians will go to England in order to learn modern warfare. M. Spaak is going to Paris next week for talks concerning the Western regional agreement within the Dumbarton Oaks framework.
