A plea that Jewish youths shun Fascist meetings in Britain rather than attend them and heckle the speakers was reiterated here today by Dr. Abraham Cohen, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews.
Dr. Cohen said that it has been proved time and again that heckling “made” Fascist meetings. He also warned that the recent mild treatment of Jewish youths arrested on charges of attacking Fascists might be replaced by more severe methods if the incident were repeated.
