GERMANY'S REPLY
ON BELGIUM HERE
Teaitolis lld Actions Justified by In-
ternational Law as Cited
at hague
APPROVE EFFECT OF PROTEST
By Carl W. Ackerman
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Berlin, Dec. 11.-Germany's reply to
the "friendly protest" of America
against the Belgian deportation was
handed to Charles Grew, of the Amer-
ican embassy, today by Foreign Sec-
retary Zimmerman. It was immed-
iately cabled to Washington. It is
understood that while Germany does
not concede all the American repre-
sentations, the whole effect of the
protest will be good.
Germany holds her actions in Bel-
gium are justified by that part of the
Hague international law regulation,
requiring a qower occupying an in-
7aded nation to maintain order and
permitting "additional orders" to that
end.
Test of Statement
The statement follows:
"The Swiss minister at Berlin, in
conversation with the chancellor, noti-
fied him that the rumors of transport-
ation of Belgian workmen had unfav-
orably impressed the Swiss popula-
tion. As a result information was giv-
en the Swiss government concerning
the' legal aspects of the case. The
Belgian government, through the
Spanish 'embassy in Berlin which is
charged with representation of Bel-
ian interests, protested against the
transportation of Belgian workmen to
Cermaany and their employment here.
The protest was declined, as announc-
ed.

"This is by no means contrary to

public order, and if the country's laws
