Brussels, Apr. 21.
Alluding to President Roosevelt's recent message, the German Ambassador here asked the Belgian Foreign Office today whether Belgium thought she was threatened by Ger-mary.
The Foreign Office, it was understood, replied that Belgium, having spontaneous guarantees from France, Germany and Great Britain, did not consider herself to be threatened. No official communication on the subject was made to the press, Observers yesterday anticipated such moves by German envoys in the various small countries of Europe. They declared that the small nations would be asked to state whether they had requested President Roosevelt's intervention. Since it would be hard for them to answer "yes" to the question, it was then held probable that the Fuehrer would point out that the small States themselves asserted their confidence and security. He was therefore expected to impugn President Roosevelt's appeal.—Havas.
