143. Replying to Department’s circular of September 22 [20], 6 p.m. The Belgian Government shares the sentiment of horror which the acts of terrorism in Russia inspire in the American Government and if the American Government judges it opportune to express to the authors of these excesses the aversion with which the civilized world considers them and decides to publish to that effect a solemn declaration, the Belgian Government would be happy to join in such a statement.
