BELGIUM SEEKS
TO SAFEGUARD
ANTWERP CITY
WASHINGTON, July 25 (by mail.—
A commission representing seven
powers will meet in Paris on Tues
day, July 29, to consider the demands
of Belgium for reconsideration of the
treaty of 1839, by which Holland an
nexed the territory on the south bank
of the Scheldt river and the southern
part of Dutch Limburg, an elongated
strip of land between Belgium and
Germany, says a Belgian official an
nouncement issued here.
In view of this meeting, the Belgian
official information service has made
public a statement by Dr. A. Hebbe
lynck, rector emeritus of the Univer
sity of Louvain, reviewin gthe treaties
under which Holland obtained posses
sion of the disputed territory and set
ting forth arguments in favor of Bel
gium’s claims.
Dr. Hebbelynck, who is now in New
York, declares that “the contention of
Belgium is that, both for the safe
guard of its military security in the
north and for its economical develop
ment, it must have absolute control of
the southern half of the River Scheldt,
which implies possession of the left
bank.” This left bank from the North
sea nearly to the Belgian port of Ant
werp now is controlled by Holland.
Belgium, says Dr. Hebbelynck, was
compelled by the treaty of 1839 to rec
ognize Holland’s sovereignty over this
territory, now known as Dutch Flan
ders. In return Belgium was protect
ed by treaties of neutralities the futil
ity of which, he says, was demon
strated in 1914, when Germany called
them “mere scraps of paper,” and in
vaded Belgium.
, “The experiences of 1914,” contin
ues Dr. Hebbelynck, “have made clear
that unless Antwerp can even in time
of war maintain its free access to the
sea, unhampered by the quibbles of a
neutral neighbor, the position of Ant
werp is rendered indefensible for any
length of time. The peril is made all
the more acute by the fact that Ant
werp is the only seaport available in
Belgium for big ships such as army
and ammunition transports.
“From the commercial point of view
it is an absolute necessity that Bel
g’um obtained right to manage with
out hindrance, as a sovereign and in
dependent power, the whole water sys
tem, not only of the Scheldt river from
Antwerp to the sea, but also of the
low-lying lands of northern Flanders
and of the ship canal from Ghent to
the Scheldt river at Terneuzen.
“The keys of Antwerp are at pres
ent in foreign hands. Belgium claims
them back on the strength of princi
ples of international law, today uni
versally proclaimed.”
He asserts that endless trouble
arises from the manner in which the
Dutch government officials carry out
the agreement over the use of the
small harbor of Terneuzen, an outlet
of the ship canal from Ghent to the
sea through Dutch territory.
Expounding Belgium’s claims.to the
southern part of Limburg, Dr. Heb
belynck asserts that Holland’s posses
sion of this territory “lays the north
eastern frontier of Belgium open to
all attacks, because the Dutch gov
ernment recognizes the impossibility
of defending Limburg against an in
vader coming from the east.”
This fact, he adds, compelled Hol
land to let a whole Germany army
escape through Limburg into Ger
many with its plunder carried from
Belgium in November, 1918. The rec
tor of Louvain also points out that Bel
gium needs a ship canal across Dutch
Limburg in order to tap the enormous
coal fields of Westphalia.
“Belgium,” he concludes, “does not
want to grab territory from Holland.
It only craves a reconsideration of the
iniquitous arrangements of 1648 to
1839 in the light of modern principles.”
He points out that Holland should
be compensated by obtaining from
Germany the provinces of Ostt'ries
land and Cleef, which, he says, are
largely inhabited by Dutch-speaking
people.
MEXICAN PAN-GERMANS
HAVE KNIFE UP SLEEVE
FOR ALLIED NATIONALS
MEXICO CITY, July 8 (Correspon
dence of Associated Press).—A “Cat
echism of Hate” was printed in the
Deutsche Zeitung von Mexiko, and
revenge was threatened in an article
• accompanying it on the day when the
delegates of the German republic
signed the peace treaty at Versailles.
The paper, printed in German, is gen
erally believed to voice the opinions
of the Pan-German, irreconciliable
element of the German colony in
Mexico. Translations in part of the
article follow:
“The day of revenge of the German
people is not far off. We shall do
good to practice patience until the
day of revenge has arrived. Re
venge must be coldly consummated.
In order to prepare ourselves quietly
for it, we need a ‘Catechism of
Hatred.”
The “twelve commandments” of
the catechism summarizes in brief
form many of the protests which have
been heard from German sources
since the terms of the peace treaty
became known. They deny that Ger
many wanted war, ass«t that Ger
many was right in invading Belgium,
attack England for the blockade of
Germany, aver that Germany’s armies
were never defeated, and declare that
German honor is insulted by making
Germans sign admission of their
guilt.
In conclusion the article says:
“These twelve commandments will
suffice to prepare us mentally for
‘The Day’ on which the hour of re
venge will strike.”
Asked if the sentiments expressed
in the Deutsche Zeitung’s article
were those of the entire German
colony in Mexico, one of the leaders
of the German socialist part in Mex
ico declared that the were held by
the older and wealthier colonists,
who dominated both the paper and
the colony, but that a large part of
the colony were willing to accept
the verdict of the war and give their
support to the new German govern
ment and to reconstruction policies.
J. H. Ash of Seattle, who, with his
wife had been stopping at the Sted
man hotel at Ketchikan for a few
days, died last week of heart failure.
In company with H. V. McFee he had
walked to the lake. On the way back
he signified his intention of resting j
and sat down on a log. As he sat
down he gasped and passed away al
most instantly. He was 34 years of
age an dresided in Seattle. For the
past four months he has been em
ployed at the Pybus bay cannery, but
had recently resigned to accept a po
sition in Port Walter. He was on his
wry there with his wife when death
overtook him.
H. I. Parsons, who was arrested in
Tenekee by Deputy United States
Marshal George L. Johnson, on a
charge of having intoxicating liquor
in his possession at Juneau last wdek,
pleoded guilty before Judge Newark
L. Burton and was fined $100 and
costs. Parsons claims that he found
a cache of moonshine whiskey and
took it to Tenakee to sell.
