Brussels reports King Leopold urges complete neutral status, repudiating the Franco Belgian pact of 1920 and Belgium's Locarno duties. He tells a full cabinet that Belgium must avoid offensive alliances, keep a strong military, and steer clear of European conflicts to prevent wars crossing Belgian territory.
Paris reports a "profound stupor" among officials over Belgian neutrality moves interpreted as foreshadowing possible cancellation of the France Belgium military aid pact. The Brussels declaration is seen as a blow to the European system of collective security.
French officials debated King Leopold II's speech seen as a shift toward Belgian neutrality while reaffirming Franco-Belgian accords. A Belgian army redeployment near the French frontier unsettled Paris, raising questions about wartime troop movements and regional security.
Genevieve Tabouis of L Oeuvre calls Leopold's move a watershed after Versailles. French rightists blame Belgium's stance on domestic issues and the France Russia pact, arguing a German attack on Russia would force French aid and Belgium would become the main battlefield due to strong border forts at Alsace Lorraine.
A University of Kansas field trip during the summer produced notable discoveries in birds, mammals, and vertebrate paleontology. Highlights include a beaver larger than any prior Pliocene record and a snail rare little blind burrowing snake found in Clark and Meade counties. The party, led by Otto Tiemeier and including Francis Parks, Joe Tiden, and Claude Hibbard, traced specimens across Barber, Comanche, Clark, Meade, Hamilton, Wallace, and Rawlins counties from June 1.
