A storm of protest aroused by the scheduled visit here next month of Sir Oswald Mosley, the pro-Hitler British Fascist leader of the 1930s, has given the Government second thoughts about whether to admit him. The protests came from veterans’ organizations, the executive council of Australian Jewry and other groups. Newspapers have been flooded with letters opposing the visit. The Immigration Minister said, in reply to criticism in Parliament, that the 72-year-old Mosley was “a spent force.” Sir Oswald, who lives in Paris, said in a broadcast message to Australians that he had given up political life and wanted to visit Australia as a private individual to promote sales of his autobiography, “My Life.”
