BELGIAN PROPOSAL
EX-SERVICEMEN'S THREAT
(Received June 10, 2.15 p.m.)
BRUSSELS, June 9,
Armoured cars and police were rushed to the scene when 300 ex-ser-vicemen belonging to the Croix de Feu organisation marched past the tomb of the Unknown Soldier and flung their medals on the grave as a protest against a Bill passed by the Chamber of Deputies and now before the.Senate, pardoning war-time traitors- who attempted, with German help, to create an independent State. The ex-servicemen were eventually admitted to the Senate and allowed to protest against the passage of the Bill, after which they returned to the tomb and swore in French and.Flemish t& shoot traitors if the Bill was passed.
