These proposals were submitted to the German authorities at Brussela by the Commission four months ago, but have failed to elicit any reply. The inference is obvious; the German Government are determined to enter into no arrangement for the relief of Belgian industry until they have taken from tho country the last ounce of native stocks of raw material or manufactured goods which can be of use to them, and until they have been able to create such widespread desti- tution as to force the requisite amount of Belgian inbour to smigrate to Germany or take employment in works in Belgaum con- tro led by them for their own purposes."
