NATURAL SEQUEL

Germany's recognition of the Abyssinia - annexation Was not made dependent on any concession by Italy, declared a Government spokesman. It was the natural sequel to Germany's policy of neu- trality and her efforts to avoid everything likely to complicate a conflict in which Germany was not interested. Reuter's Bulletin Service.

Outwardly nothing appeared to be happening till midday. De- grelle had ordered the leaders of the movement to assemble before the wellknown church of St. Gudule. When the congregation emerged, groups formed themselves on the square, many prominent Rexist leaders and ex-Servicemen being recognised. Degrelle bäd rented a house with a balcony, and appeared on the balcony, intending to address his followers, and this was to be the beginning of a big demonstration, to culminate at 1.30 p.m. in the great mass meeting prohibited by the authorities,

Degrelle had only uttered a few sentences, when a written com-

Was placed in his hands. Degrelle proceeded no fur- ther and tried to leave the house. The police had however already surrounded it. When Degrelle ap- peared, he was immediately over- powered and placed into custody.

The news of Degrelle's arrest spread through the city like light- cing. A regular army of police and mounted guards were on duty, out despite this strong detach- ments of Rexists marched through. the streets singing in chorus, and demanding that their leader
