De Favereau, in his speech of 1909: England's position in the European concert was henceforth no longer the same; Belgium thus found herself exposed to the possibility of no longer finding in this Power the same unfettered benevolence which was traditional in her policy; isolation, threat- ened the country; it was driven more and more to rely only upon itself. How remote — I note in passing — ^how remote are these preoccupations which, since the new diplomatic arrangements which had arisen in E...urope had inspired the whole of Belgium's policy, from the hypotheses formulated by Professor Karl Rathgen in his article in the The Great Powers 115 Preussische Jahrbtlcher: ''Belgiens auswartige Politik und der Kongo/' According to him, it was England — always England ! — who com- pelled Belgium to strengthen her military organization, and she probably made her re- cognition of the annexation of the Congo con- ditional upon this undertaking. We see that the fact was very different. I was about to conclude by asking what re- mains of the accusation launched against the Belgian Government of having in 19 12 broken her obligations towards the guarantors of the country, and notably towards Germany, when a significant fact came back to my mind.
