NULL AND VOID

SEPARATE TREATY WITH NAZIS BELGIUM DUMBFOUNDED. FIGHTING ON TO ULTIMATE VICTORY.' By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received This Day, 9.0 a.m.) PARIS, May 28. The Belgian Prime Minister, M. Hubert Pierlot, broadcasting, said King Leopold had? broken the Belgian constitution and this separate treaty -with Germany must be considered null and void. Belgium is dumbfounded but the guilt of one man cannot be imputed to the whole nation. Our army has not deserved the fate which has befallen it. The King no longer exercises his powers because it is impossible for a Chief of State to function under foreign control. The Belgian Government assumes his prerogatives and the Government has decided to fight to the end on the side of the Allies. A new army will be organised from brave young Belgians who have responded to the Government’s appeal. "I now affirm the solidarity uniting us with the Powers who came to our aid,” he concluded, "Belgians, we face the most difficult trial of our life but we fight on to ultimate victory.”
