A new ultra nationalist organization proclaiming a program of “Britain for the British” and calling for the withdrawal of civil and political rights from the Jews of this country made its appearance on the scene here today.
The organization is headed by Leonard Tomlinson, 57-year-old former major in the British Army. Tomlinson told newspapermen today that everyone not “Christian or of Anglo-Saxon heritage” is a “foreigner” and foreigners must not enjoy “British rights and British privileges.”
He said that his organization, “Clan Briton,” would agree to permit Jews to remain in the country as “guests” but not as Britons. He asserted that in the next general elections, his Clan would come out in force to oppose Jewish candidates for Parliament on whatever party ticket they ran.
