BELGIAN PRO-NAZIS Ambassador Protests

Baron de Cartier de Marchienne, Belgian Ambassador at the Court of St. James, has written personally to the CATHOLIC HERALD to protest against an article from our Antwerp correspondent in last week's issue under the title " Pro-Nazi Sympathisers in Belgium."
The Ambassador states that the article " gives an entirely wrong impression of the situation in Belgium."
" Even if pro-Nazi sympathies," he writes, " had previously been manifested by a very small minority of the population, on the invasion of Belgium these immediately gave place to indignation and horror at the action of Germany. All the people, whether Flemish or Walloon, rallied as one man to defend their country against the aggressor."
Our correspondent (a very experienced and accurate journalist), who described his own first-hand experience of pro-Nazism among the Flemish population, was of course writing before the invasion and describing conditions as he found them to be at that date.
