WHAT WE HAVE WE’LL HOLD.
BELGIUM'S DETERMINATION.
LONDON, February 13
M. Renkin, the Belgian Colonial 1 TVlinister, was entertained at luncheon in London, Mr. Bonar Law presiding. M. Renkin declared that Belgium had not listened to timorous voices, echoing German promptings, urging surrender of the Congo because Belgium was unable to develop it. The proposal to hand over the Congo to a chartered company was intolerable. Belgium did not wish to diminish her opportunities in the world and fondly hoped for expansion. Belgium would never abandon the least portion of her rights, and never surrender an inch of territory. She intends to be faithful to her sacrificed heroes.
