Belgium's return to its pre-World War II policy of neutrality carries an importance far beyond its immediate effect on Europe's precarious balance of power. From a military point of view it is possible to claim that the situation is little changed. Belgium is merely to follow the example of its powerful neighbors and embark on a program of rearmament. This, it is said, will enable France to stop worrying about aiding Brussels and to concentrate on its Rhineland defenses. For France can rest assured that a German attack on a neutral Belgium will bring Great Britain to its aid today just as it did in 1914.
