URUGUAY IS IN SYMPATHY
WITH DESOUfiTE BELGIUM
_
MONTEVIDEO, May 6. — Presi
dent Viera's reception of the new Bel
gian Minister yesterday was made
the occasion for a new demonstration j
of Uruguay’s sentiments toward the
entente allies, and more especially to-;
ward Belgium. President Viera, in
receiving the minister, said:
"Belgium, the martyr country, with
her smoking cities here wealth de
stroyed, and her men and women en
slaved, constitutes the greatest af
front which has ever been offered to
the world. Her cause is the cause
of justice and of humanity. To honor
her and to love her, therefore, ought
to be imperative duties for all good
men and for all noble peoples. Hence,
it is that Uruguay has received the
Belgian deputies who have recently
visited us on a mission from your
government, with spontaneous mani
festations of sympathy. Hence it is
that Uruguay has taken the side of
your country. Hence, it is that her
fate interests us so deeply and that
v.e have such faith in it. Therefore,
you may be absolutely assured that
everything here is propitious—senti
ments and interests—for the ever
more fraternal relations between the
two peoples.”
