The Return Of Fascism

THAT warped and obnoxious

Ideology, Fascism, is, accord- ing to London reports, once again attempting to find expression in England; and its adherents, run- ning true to form, are appealing for sympathisers by adopting a type of "blood and iron" technique under which any who dares to disagree with Moseley and bis disciples, is bashed over the head. Sir Uswald Moseley, founder and leader of the British Fascist or ganisation, is also one of the bla rest turncoati in England's poli- tical history. In 1818 he won the Harrow Division of Middlesex .36 Unionist; in 1922 Conservative
