THE PEACE CONFERENCE
AN APPEAL BY BELGIUM. REVIEW OF 1839 TREATY. DUTCH MONOPOLY OF THE SCHELDT. (Australian, N.Z. and Reuter.) Received Dec. 11, 8.40 p.m. AMSTERDAM, Dec. 10. The Belgian Foreign Minister, M. Hyman, has issued a statement indicating that Belgium at the Peace Conference would probably ask for a review of the treaty of 1839, under which Belgium was deprived of the principal portions of her provinces of Limburg and Luxemburg. M. Hyman thinks that Holland ought to renounce her monopoly of the Scheldt, which "unfairly and unnecessarily bottles up the port of Antwerp."
