The London County Labor Party today adopted a resolution expressing concern at the recent disturbances provoked by meetings of the fascist British League of Ex-Servicemen and calling upon the Home Secretary to use his full powers to deal with inflammatory utterances. The resolution also asked Parliament to strengthen the powers of the Home Office to act effectively in suppressing such breaches of the peace.
At a meeting today of the Council of Christians and Jews, presided over by the Archbishop of Centerbury, a resolution was adopted “deploring” the renewal of anti-Semitic activity in Britain and labelling “evil” all attempts to stir up hatred against any section of the community. The Council also reaffirmed the need for education to eliminate deep-seated prejudices and suspicions at the root of anti-Senitism,
It also called on church and synagogue and all “men of good will” to join in the battle against tendencies which are hostile to the ethical principles of Judaism and Christianity. Finally, the group adopted a procedural resolution declaring that the International Council of Christians and Jews should be regarded as “provisionally” organized by the Council and the American National Conference of Christians and Jews until such time as the international body gains the membership of more national groups.
