Neither anti-Semitism nor fascism seem to be making any headway in Britain, but constant vigilance is still required, according to the annual report of the defense committee of the Board of Deputies of British Jews released here today.
The continual attempts of Sir Oswald Mosley’s “Union Movement” to keep itself before the public and to take advantage of a difficult economic situation–together with the underground activities of less publicized organizations–are sufficient evidence of the importance of the committee’s work, the report asserted.
The committee, which operates in a manner similar to that of the B’nai B’rith Anti-Defamation League in the United States, also reported that “other anti-Semitic organizations, which do not indulge in open air public meetings but content themselves with the publication of virulently anti-Semitic journals, continue this form of attack. Fortunately, these journals, at the moment, have a limited circulation,” the report declared.
