NOTES OF THE DAY MR. PEPYS IN HONGKONG BULLS AND INNERS.

FASCISM IN BRITAIN

Although Sir John Gilmour on- deavoured to joke the matter off when questioned in the House of Commons last week concerning the military activities of Sir Oswald Mosley's Black Shirts and particu- larly their possession of armoured cars, it is evident that the Govern- ment is beginning to take a serious view of the matter. Five of these cars have now been acquired by the Mosier Fascists and although it may be pleaded that they are merely used for the conveyance of speakers to meetings the point of importance is not how they are now being employed, but for what purpose they could be used.
