New Anti-jewish Party Enters Lists in England

To the two Fascist anti-Semitic organizations of England has now been added a third Jew-baiting group known as the “National Workers Party of Great Britain,” headed by the mystery-story writer, Graham Seton-Hutchison and boasting of a forty-point program aimed at Jews, Communists and other “parasites.”

One of the new party’s objects is to institute a Government by men of the British race. Another is to prevent “aliens” from owning land. Others are for a purge of the press, theatre, cinema, radio and other agencies of public opinion. One of the principle objects is the destruction of the “concept of Jewish capitalism.”

Hutchison attracted notoriety and a threat of “a punch under the jaw” from the First Secretary of the Belgian Embassy here by his allegations that King Albert of the Belgians had not fallen to his death while mountain-climbing in the Alps, but had been murdered by Communists representing the interests of international finance.

So far, activities of the “National Workers Party” have been limited to publication of anti-Jewish anti-Communist propaganda. Hutchison, however, is expected to open a membership campaign soon. Like the Mosley Fascists, the “National Workers Party” will probably not put up candidates for Parliament until Hutchison is certain that his organization can make a respectable showing.

The Hutchison organization is expected to rival the Mosley group in its appeal. The Mosleyites have already changed their name from “British Union of Fascists” to “British Union of Fascists and National Socialists” to prevent Hutchison from capitalizing on the “national” aspects of his movement.
