British fascists, planning a comeback, are using the town of Salisbury as a springboard in their drive.

More than 1,500 persons attended a fascist rally there last night. The main speaker was Victor Burgess who raised his arm in the Nazi salute and hurled insults at Jewish merchants in the area.

Local Fascist organizers claimed the meeting was a success in adding to membership in the party. New members include businessmen and ex-soldiers, they said.
