The alleged Franco-Bclginn agreement was the subject to two interpellations of the Chamber to which M. Hymans replied immediately, explaining the document appeared in a newspaper noted for hostility to Belgium, and which accepted it without verifr-
tion. It was the il'orger.v of ail evil doer, inspired with a desire to prevent improved Belgo-Dutch relations. Re added that the Frnnco-Belgian agreement only provided to meet unprovoked German aggression. Moreover, u was purely defensive and not opposed 'to the League pact. The publication of such a forgery showed the systematic hostility to Belgium, and he hoped tbe Dutch Government would collaborate with Belgium in establishing Untrue facts.
Vandervelde (Socialist lender) deel’red that the signatories to the document would deserve court martial and those accusing us of aggression to Holland were liars and calumniators.
