Papers Disagree on Whether Con

King Was Genuine.
BY the Associated Press.

BRUSSELS, January IL Belgian
newspapers are engaged in contro-
yersy as to whether the recently re-
ported plot against the lives of the Bel
gian royal family was really the work
of a Fascist agent provocateur or was
a genuine conspiracy by extremists.
The Brussels Soir says that Princess
Marie Jose some time before her mar
rage expressed the wish that amnesty
be granted to political prisoners on the
occasion of her wedding to Crown
Prince Humbert of Italy and that this
sentiment was voiced in her behalf by
an important Belgian personality.
In order to prevent this release, the
newspaper says, a Fascist agent pro-
vocateur in Belgium received instruc-
lions TO start plot aimed at the royal
family.
On the other hand, the Paris corre-
spondent of the Nation Belges main
tains the existence of an anti Fascist
organization In Paris and declares that
