THE DUBLIN BRANCH OF FIANNA FAIL, GOVERNMENT PARTY, TODAY DEMANDED IMMEDIATE SUPPRESSION OF THE SECRET CHRISTIAN PROTECTION ASSOCIATION, WHICH RECENTLY LAUNCHED A VIOLENT ANTI-JEWISH BOYCOTT CAMPAIGN.

A RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE PARTY DECLARES: “WE CONDEMN THE ACTIVITIES OF A SECRET RING STYLED THE IRISH CHRISTIAN PROTECTION ASSOCIATION AND CALL UPON THE GOVERNMENT IMMEDIATELY TO DECLARE THE ASSOCIATION ILLEGAL. THE PEOPLE OF DUBLIN HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE MOST TOLERANT PEOPLE AND WE CALL UPON THEM TO IGNORE THE SCURRILOUS PROPAGANDA DIRECTED AGAINST THE JEWISH PEOPLE IN OUR MIDST.”

POLICE AUTHORITIES, IT WAS LEARNED, ARE ALREADY INVESTIGATING THE ORGANIZATION, WHICH RECENTLY DISTRIBUTED THOUSANDS OF LEAFLETS OF A VIOLENTLY ANTI-JEWISH CHARACTER CALLING FOR A BOYCOTT OF JEWISH SHOPS.
