By this step. Germany neutral- ized unimportant seem;- or her western boundary. Danger oi in- vasion of the Ruhr Valley in the event of war with western powers was believed greatly reduced. Ger- many's heavy industries, including the Krupp munitions works, are located in this area.

Official comment stressed that "Germany would ‘regain freedom of action if. for example. on the basis of Belgium's membership in the League. the Belgian Govern- ment were ready to place Belgian territory at the disposal of enemy troops for marching through or as bases of operations."

The declaration was not bind- ing in case “Belgium should co- operate in any warlike operations

Germany's pledge was made in a note slgnfld by the Foreign Minister, Barcn Von Neurath. It said that the Reich wished to de- fine the German attitude inward her western neighbor because a new agreement replacing the Lo- curno Security Pact might take s. long time. Semi-officially it was acknow- ledged as a corollary to the Franco-British declaration of April 24. which absolved Belgium of her Locarno Treaty obligations to fight for Great Britain or France if either be:ame the victim of aggre tsion. The Deuische Allegemeine Zei- tung described the new German stand as an answer to President ‘Roosevelt's call for peace.
