The Sunday Referee, a London newspaper, carries the following editorial under the headline “Yes or No, Sir Oswald?”:
Those simpletons who believe that British Fascism is more virtuous than the German brand would do well to ponder the correspondence, published in the German Press, between Sir Oswald Mosley and Julius Streicher, chief Nazi anti-Semite.
In reply to a telegram from Streicher, Sir Oswald is reported to have said: “I value your message…. The forces of Jewish corruption in all great lands must be defeated before the future of Europe can be ensured in justice and peace….”
If this message is an incorrect report, Sir Oswald ought to disclaim it at once. If it is true, then the British people will know their man.
