...Cabinet of Liberals, Socialists and Catholics for the past six months, last week asked for increased taxes to carry on his social reforms. Catholic members, loud in their demands for cuts in Government expenditures, promptly bolted M. Janson's coalition, joined their own bitterest enemies, the pro-Nazi Rexist party of Léon Degrelle, to vote against the tax proposals. M. Janson then chose to resign...
