A Belgian Grey Book contains a letter from Baron Beyers, then Belgian Minister at Berlin, proving that four months before the war Herr Von Jagmv proposed the partition of Belgian Congo and suppression of Belgium in the list of independent nations.

Baron Boyers’ despatch, shews that Herr Von. Jagow invited V. Gambon to a private conference, and suggested that Germany, France, and Britain ought to come to an understanding regarding projected railways in Africa. M. Gambon suggested that- Belgium also should, be invited, and Von Jagow replied: ‘‘By no means. Our agreement will be at Belgium's expense.’’ M. Gambon said: “I don’t understand,” and Von Jagow said: “Leopold put a greater burden on Belgium's shoulder than she can carry. Belgium cannot reach enough to carry the Congo enterprise, and wd! have to give it up.” Von Jagow continued that great Powers alone were in a position to colonise, and in view of the economic transformation of Europe, small nations could no longer enjoy an independent existence. M. Gambon retorted that those were not the views of England and France, and Von; Jagow then said that he was speaking as a private- person, not. as Secretary for State.
