Mr. Leslie Hore-Belisha, the smart, young Jewish Liberal who seems never to take a vacation but fills British newspapers all summer with personal publicity about his "Belisha Beacon" and other traffic gadgets (TIME, Nov. 26, 1934), was rewarded by promotion of his Ministry of Transport from sub-Cabinet to full Cabinet status.

The Rexist newsorgan, Rex, had just boldly admitted that M. Degrelle had visited Berlin a few weeks before.

This Rexist rashness caused Belgium's Premier to forbid the railways...
