PRO-NAZI ORGANISATIONS IN BRITAIN MASQUERADING AS HARMLESS BODIES. MEASURES OF REPRESSION. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 9.15 a.m.) LONDON, November 1. The Home Secretary (Sir John Anderson) in the House of Commons, said the Government considered that a new regulation to put down the activites of pro-Nazi organisations throughout Britain was “absolutely essential.” Under the guise of harmless social organisations anti-British leagues were carrying on war ‘-‘behind the lines.” One Nazi organisation had ordered its members to "turn themselves into ru-mour-mongers and channels of propaganda. “They were instructed to ridicule Britain’s civil defence measures, and to foster the idea that evacuation was unnecessary.” “If only this propaganda can be disseminated,” the instructions ran, “it will be suggested that people return to London, resulting in the defeat of an important measure in the interests of the civil population.” This organisation is well known to be anti-Jewish and pro-Nazi.
