THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER This Church and Pastor Found Way to Attract Young People ‘ yqnmr EVENING, APRIL 12, 1820 BELGIU M FEELS ENGLAND FAILED TO KEEP WORD S S = S By R. H.-Sheffield (United Press Correspondent) ° Brussels, March 30 (by Mail)— One of the first things that strikes the foreign observer here is the grow- ing revolution of . Belgian national feeling against her most intimate war-time allies, especially (reat . Britain: While Britain, France and Ttaly are disposed to olame the United States for aaopting a purely selfish policy, Belgium—which is receiving cheap food from America alone, and consequently has no grouch against the United States—is looking ask- ance at the “selfish-policy” of Anglo- Franco-Italian governments, . whq have by no means'made good the gen- «erous promises showered on ‘‘poor lit- tle Belgium* in the hour of her trial. The “Scrap of Paper” incident, which brought Great Britain into the war- caused the Belgian - people to regard Great Britain as their ulti- mate savior. There was something 8o insuring about a nation, which fwas not immediately threatened with invasion, throwing down the gaunt. let on behalf of her smaller neigh- bor. Perhaps Belgians built too much on this, but the utterances of British statesmen throughout the war only tended to endorse and consolidate this opinion. Now weighing up per- formances against promises, Belgium 18 'disposed ' to repeat the old jeer . about Britain being a ‘“nation of shop keepers” and to add somewhat ‘bitterly that the storekeeping nation seems to be wrappe) up in self-in- terest. The high cost of living is, of course a considerable factor. = Unlike Amer- ica, Britain has sent very little cheap food to Belgium, and the observant Belgian cannot fail to note that he is paying from two to three times the price of foodstuffs in England. The ‘high rate of exchange as between Bel- gium on the one hand, and Britain and the united States on the other, coupled with a plethora of Belgian paper money, and the absence of real wealth makes it a far better business for Belgium to buy what she wants from Germany—which, . being still very bitter against the author of all her troubles, Belgium is not at all anxious to do. A further cause of offense is that among the machinery sent by Britain to Belgium is much stuff marked “Made in Germany,” which the patri- otic Belgian hdped to avoid in order- ing parts from England. The prom- ise as to reparations and restoration also still remains in the bulk, un- realized. Sixteen months after the signing of the armistice Belgium has not obtained restitution of much of her machinery, rolling stock, horses, cattle, etc., carried off by the Ger— mans. In her negotlations with Hollahd, Belgium feels that she has been badly let down. Early in the war England promised a revision of the Treaty of 1839, and held out hopes of the res. toration of the Scheldt and a portion of Dutch Limburg to Belgium, but recent developments give the impres- sion that British -diplomats are sup- porting Holland rather than Belgium in the negotiations. In the question of the trial of the former kaiser and| wood Fuils, war criminals; too, Belgium accuses| solved the problem Britain of being too eager to concili- ate Holland, and the allies’ tacit con- sent to, the trlal of selected ‘“‘crimin- als” by the Leipsic courts has arous- ed. much bitterness here. This is. not the view of disgruntl- ed politicians and diplomats or ex- tremists, many' of whom say far stronger things about British post- war policy, but it is the growing feeling among thinking people of all classes, who see in the allies’ struggle with their own reconstruction prob- lems, especially as regards British policy, a disposition to let “gallant little Belgium” get out as best she can. & . Among the Belgian masses there is far less discontent and bolshevik sentiment.than has been apparent in the countries of her less ravaged neighbors. The Belgian people are hardworking and thrifty, and with their own national problems to solve, they are facing the task of recon- struction bravely. { Spade up the ynrd trequenfly Get rid of an snrplns cockerela.
