“FAR BEYOND FASCISM”

SIR OSWALD MOSLEY’S NEW “UNION MOVEMENT’’ ELIMINATION OF OPPOSITION LONDON. Nov. 28. Sir Oswald Mosley has announced that he will be ready to begin his new “Union Movement” early in 1948. Sir Oswald claimed that 51 organisations offered to merge themselves in the new movement. Reuter says these organisations include about a dozen Right Wing groups like the League of Ex-servicemen, Union of British Freedom, and a British section of the Ku-Klux-Klan. The League of Ex-service-men recently held a series of public meetings in London’s East End. “ It is far beyond either Fascism or Democracy as all that died in 1939,” said Sir Oswald when asked if his new “ Union Movement ” was a Fascist organisation. He added that the object of his system was to eliminate opposition. Parliament, he said, would be elected on a VQcational rather than a geographical basis. He would not bully anyone. He wanted to see the Jews have a national home, but as Palestine obviously could not hold them all other territory must be found where they could become a nation. Jews who had not been a long time in Britain would have to -go. He predicted that a new economic crisis would strike Britain and then the people would look for a new leader.
