BELGIAN REXIST WILL URGE REVOLT Fascist Leader to Carry Fight to Overthrow Govern- ment Into Parliament. BY the Assoctated Press. BRUSSELS, October 27.—Leon De- grelle, embattled leader of the Fas- cist Rexist party, arranged today to invade Parliament in his fight to overthrow the Beigian government. The defiant Degrelle announced his intention of staging a dramatic “j'accuse” scene when a special legis- lative session convenes today to de- bate Belgian foreign policy, an im- portant turn in the nation's history. He said he would have 1 of his 21 Deputies resign from the Chamber, so that he might invoke a Belgian law permitting him to take the lawmaker’s place to shout the Rexist accusations where they would have to be heard. Chargese Dictatorship. The Belgian Fascist leader charged the administration with setting up a repressive dictatorship through its stringent precautions to prevent a Fascist march on the capital last Sunday. Degrelle declared the pre- cautions were unprecedented in peace- | time Belgium. “Compromised by scandal,” Degrelle declared, “this government must hold itself together by machine guns and ‘bayonets.” Degrelle wants to demand Parlia- ment’s resignation as a body so he can set up a corporative state on the plan of Italy’s. Released from jail, where he spent Sunday night after street fights be- tween his followers and Brussels police, Degrelle reiterated his ‘determination to march on the capital with 150,000 followers to overthrow the regime. Belgium’s recently modified neu- trality plans were to be defined at the special parliamentary session, which, leaders believed, might require more than two weeks of discussion. The possivility was weighed that the government, until now strongly pro-French in its sympathies, might ask Parliament to fortify the French frontier as it has the German. Au- thoritative sources, however, forecast the cabinet probably would affirm the government’s desire to stand by ex- isting accords and avoid any new al- liances.

As far as it was humanly possible, the Government has followed the policy that among American citizens there should be no forgotten men and no forgotten races. It is a wise and truly American policy. We shall continue faithfully to observe it. Howard University has shared as of right in our public works program. These Government-financed improve- ments in the facilities of this great center of Negro education should en- able it to continue to provide for its students cultural opportunities com- parable to those offered by other first- class institutions of higher learning in the country. At its last commencement Howard University sent forth 245 graduates to join nearly 10,000 alumni in all parts of the world. Here is a record of which the Negro race may be proud. It is & record of which America is proud. It is further fulfillment of our dream of providing better and better educational facilities for all our people.

May they come here and learn the lessons of science and carry the benefits of science to their fellowmen. University Called Chalienge. Secretary Ickes declared that “How- ard University should stand always as a challenge to those who say that liberty is for the privileged few.” “Our democracy, with all its im- perfections,” he said,” is by far the best state of society that civilization has had to offer. As P. W. A. Administrator Ickes de- clared the funds allotted to carry out the university'’s 20-year expansion program were well spent. “Of all the works undertaken under our program,” he said,” I consider that schools and hospitals represent the soundest possi- uueunln ble investment of Federal funds.” P.W.

In the Soiith, he declared, over 200 new school buildings have been built with P. W. A. aid for Negroes and new hospitalization provided for them at a cost of over $3,250,000.

President Roosevelt's reference to “forgotten men and forgotten races” brought an enthusiastic response from the several thousand studeats and prominent colored citizens that braved with him a biting wind that swept the campus. Mr, Roosevell had doffed his overcoat after leaving the White House car and sat on the open platform apparently unmindful of a cold that caused hundreds to turn up the collars of their coats. Prom the White House to the Howard campus the presidential party was greeted by small crowds at nearly %% A—S every corner, and the President was kept busy waving as he sped by. Dr. Mordecal W. Johnson, presie dent of the university, welcomed the President, and white-haired Rev. Wale ter H Brooke, pastor of the Nine- teenth Street Baptist Church, said & prayer. Dr. Johnson declared that “any university in the world would be proud” of the new chemistry building, which he stressed had been planned for by Dr. Percy L. Julian, head of the university’s chemistry department, and designed by Albert L. Cassel, a colored architect. At Howard University, which he declared constitutes “a challenge to the self-expression of the Negro race,” Dr. Johnson said there was congree gated the largest group of Negro scholars in the world.
