(To the Editor

Hongkong Telegraph.), Sir-Permit me through the courtesy of your columns to reply to the leading article in the Hong- kong Telegraph of August 9th. In the interview I gave to the repre- sentatives of the South China Mor- ning Post and the Hongkong Tele- graph. The substance of which Interview was published by you on Saturday, August 6th., I stated, in- ter alla, that the League "far from being secret, invites publicity". You headed your conception of the Interview "Major L Cassel's Secret Society."

Yet it was you who designated the League us a secret society.

Further on in your article you compare the League of British Whites to the authorised statement of the British Fascists, in spite of the fact that I emphatically stated that there was no similarity be tween the L.O.BWV. and any Fascist organization.

You go on to say "Again, we may ask, what is this paltry glori- translation of Herr Hitler's.cuit of Acation of the White Briton but a the auper-humanity of the Nordic Race?"
