FASCIST ARMY
RAPIDLY GROWING IN BRITAIN
London, Feb 21.
The recent rapid growth of the Fascist party in Great Britain has been attracting wide atten- tion. One phase of the investiga- tion of the political area has dis- closed that there are seven diffor- ent colours in shirts being worn by the adherents of different groups.
This particular investigation commenced following a statement in the House of Commons by Sir John Gilmour, Home Secretary, in connection with the wearing of uniforms by political parties. He said that since the partics had adopted this method of dis- tinguishing their members, street disturbances had increased very considerably.
The seven different colours of shirts in England actually repres sent elght organisations. Com- munists are wearing khaki; the Greenshirts demand financial forms; the Whiteshirts appear to be mainly religious.

Then there are the Fascists, divided into four groups. Black- shirts, Blueshirts and `Greyshirts are the chlof. Sir Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists is the moat important body and has re- cruiting offices in London, Man- chester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Newcastle, Plymouth and Kings Lynn, Estimates of the strength of this organisation vary from tens to hundreds of thousands.
The Daily Mail recently out whole-heartedly for Fascism, describing it as a revival in a new age, and, h) force aimed againat Felderly statesmen. The Fascist watchword is "Discipline and Or- ganisation.".
