Leon Degrolle, leader of the pro-Fascist Rexist party, today telegraphed King Leopold III demanding immediate dissolution of Parliament and now elections, the Havas News Agency reported.

In view of the present numerical minority of Rexists in Parliament and the country it was generally agreed that Degrelle’s demand has not the slightest chance of success.
