Brussels, Nov. 25.
The Belgian Government protested the extension of Britain's economic warfare against Germany by the seizure of German exports yesterday in a Note delivered in London and Paris yesterday.
It was understood that the Note differs from the Netherlands protest in accordance with the different positions of the two countries, Hals land objects to further suffering from retaliation, especially as the British action is based largely on the sinking of the Netherlands liner Simon Bolivar whereas it was understood the Belgian Note was based mainly on juridical grounds, particularly on the Paris Declaration of 1856, It was reported that Belgium is taking the stand that, without wanting to examine the question of German mines violating International law, she feels that the retaliation affects neutrals at least as much, if not more than Germany.—United Press,
