Fascist Gave Nazi Salute When Fined
Fined a total of £31 for light- ing offences, James Lloyd, late district representative of the British Union of Fascists, gave the Nazi salute as he left Ux- bridge Police Court recently.
"Is this Justice?" he shouted, Mr Horace Fenton, prosecut- ing, said that while a raid was in progress and planes were overhead two wardens saw a fire blazing in Lloyd's garden in Cornwall-road, Ruislip.
They climbed A fence and were going to put it out when Lloyd came running down the garden.
"Panicky"
He was very abusive and unid, "You are panicky. You wait until there are 20,000 dive-bombers over- head."

EVER since he went to Moscow Sir Stafford Cripps, the British Ambassador, has been attempting, in full agreement with the Foreign Office, to find ways and means of establishing something like a normal basis between the two countries, says "The Times'" Diplomatic correspondent.
The Soviet Government were informed of the British de- cision to reopen the Burma Road before the decision was made public. M. Molotoff's acknowledgment of the news seemed a trifle brief, as though the matter were of little concern to Moscow; but it was noticed that Soviet help to China, which had dwindled while the rond was shut, increased again with the reopening of the road.
