The notorious British anti-Semite, Arnold Spencer Leese, was committed for trial here on a charge of libeling Sir Harold Scott, London police commissioner, whom he described in an article as “an obvious Jew.”
In another article published in his news sheet, Gothic Ripples, devoted to the dissemination of anti-Semitic propaganda, Leese stated that “the police in London’s East End appear to be infected by their Jewish chief to knock off any street corner orator who dares to mention the word ‘Jew’ in any derogatary sense.”
