Ways and means for developing an intensive Fascist campaign in England were discussed by Sir Oswald Mosley, leader of the British Fascists, in the course of his meeting in Rome with Herman Wilhelm Goering and other Fascist leaders. Sir Oswald claims he already possesses half a million followers in England.
Sir Oswald also announced recently that his movement is not anti-Semitic. Nevertheless, the publications of his party are filled with abuses and slanders against the Jews.
It is believed that Prince Bismarck, despite the setback he received recently at the meeting of the Royal Institute for International Affairs, succeeded in organizing an influential group of Members of Parliament and politicians for the National Socialist cause, with the definite promise, however, that anti-Semitism will be abandoned in the Nazi program. This, it is alleged, Bismarck has undertaken.
In view of the unpopularity which the Nazi cause at present has in England, the names of those who joined this group have not been made public.
For the first time the Daily Express, which maintained a non-commital attitude towards Hitler, has come out with an editorial for the National Socialist cause, with reservations, however, as regards the persecution of Jews. All the other newspapers in England, without exception, continue their criticism of the Nazi cause.
