Belgium Hss no Navy.
Belgium Is. perhaps the most pros-
perous state In Europe, as well ss the
most thickly settled. The late king's
reign was at least marked by an enor-
mous advance in wealth and social re-
form. One of the country's special ad-
vantages Is that its international neu-
tralization permits it to dispense with
a navy, while the Belgian army Is
maintained on a very small and In-
expensive basis.
