Sir O. Mosley is Father Of a 10-lb. Baby Son

WEDDING SECRET

SIR

KEPT TWO YEARS

IR Oswald Mosley revealed recently that he was secretly married just over two years ago to the former Mrs. Bryan Guinness, third daughter of Lord Redesdale and a sister of Miss Unity Mitford, friend of Hitler.

Coupled with his statement was the announcement that "The Hon. Lady Mosley gave birth to a son on Saturday, November 26, last. Both mother and son are doing well."

Lady Mosley's son was born in London and, it is un- derstood, weighed 10lbs. at birth.

No details of the secret marriage ceremony were disclosed in Sir Oswald Mosley's statement, made to "Ac- tion," official newspaper of his British Union of Fascists.

Reports were published that Sir Oswald was married in Munich on December 4, 1937. His organisation then issued a statement saying he "hus not been in Germany at all for over two years past.” -

It is, therefore, a legitimate con- clusion that the Press has no interest in me, and I certainly have no in- terest in them.

It may accordingly be a subject of some surprise that the Press should show any Interest in such a purely personal matter as my marriage. Yet their interest has gone even beyond! a stege by reporters of anyone even remotely connected.

In several instances papers have gone so far as to name the date of December Inst, and to describe in detall the ceremony in Munich; a town that I have not

visited for three and a half years.

It is now necessary to publish the fact of my marriage, and I am very gind to do so in the columns of "Ac- lion. In fact, it took place just over
