KING LEOPOLD TO ACCEPT VERDICT OF PARLIAMENT
Geneva, Mar. 16.—Exiled King Leopold stated today that the Belgian Parliament must decide whether he should return to the throne on the basis of Sunday's referen- dum which gave him 57.6% of the votes.
If Parliament-in which the Catholics who supported him fully are just short of an absolute majority decided against his return, he was ready to retire, the 19-year-old King stated.
The declaration said, "It
