A challenge to Sir Oswald Mosley to name names when attacking Jews in order to give them a chance to test his accusations in courts of law was made today by Nathan Laski, one of the leading Jewish figures in the Jewish community of Manchester.

“Sir Oswald knows what the libel laws are in this country,” Mr. Laski said. “He, therefore, makes his anti-Semitic accusations in generalities. But let him, however, have the courage to mention names so as to enable us to bring a case in court against him.”

The Blackshirt, official organ of Sir Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists, came out today with an article supporting the Nazis’ arguments in the case of the Protocols of Zion which is now to be resumed soon in Berne.
