April 4. “They can’t keep a good man down —if he’s young,” Is tl e motto of Leon Degrelle, Belgian Rexist leader, who is contesting a suburban by-election on April 11 with the Prime Minister, Dr van Zeeland. “Eventually I’n botnd to succeed,” said M. Degrel\e in an interview. “There are 301 ways whereby I can get power; besides, I am only 30, whereat M. van Zeeland is an old man. I think he fails to understand the people. I intend to tax bachelors and make things as easy as possible for tire man wi'h a large family. “I like a woman to stay at home. When. I attain power I shall dit 1 - courage married Women having jobs.” M. Degrelle denied that he was following Herr Hitler, whom he has never met. He has never read Hitler’s book, “My Struggle,” and does not know where the Germany Emr bassy is in Brussels. If he admired Hitler he says he would say so. He does not conceal the fact that he admires Signor Mussolini. After referring to the attempts l on his life, M. Degrelle said: “I am not afraid of assassins. I have too much to accomplish to die at 30. I have a destiny.”
