NAZI-ISM IS NOT

A CRIME TOLERANCE DEMOCRACY GONE CRAZY

London, Sept. 22,

Many Britons in and out of Parliament are frank- ly worried about the resurgence of Fascism which is almost as open and violent as in 1938 when Sir Oswald Mosley led his Blackshirts through London's polygot East End in what is known as "The Battle of Cable Street." Anywhere up to 4,000 Fascists and hecklers have been gathering Sundays in the Bethnal Green district of the East End where advocacy of anti-Semitism by speakers is as virulent as any- thing ever invented by the late Josef Goebbels. In the past few weeks Communists have been challenging the Fascist speakers and fist fights are frequent.

CARGO - SEIZURE- PETITION REJECTED Counsel Not Heard

The petition to the Governor-in-Council by 23 Chinese for cancellation of a Magistrate's con- fiscation order in respect of $200,000 worth of cargo has been rejected, the "China Mail" learned last night.

The cargo was seized on board the ss. "Sinkiang" on August 1 by Preventive Officers who board- ed the vessel just as it was about to sail for Amoy. Thepetition was sent to the Governor- in-Council through the offices of Mr. Marcus da Silva.

Despite the appointment of I Counsel (Mr. Leo d'Almada) to plead the petition before the Governor-In-Counell, the "Chinu Mail" understands that the peti tion was rejected without Counsel being heard.
