July Lord Rothermere has dropped [Sir Oswald Mosley and all his works. That is indeed a startling [development after the whole heart~ fed way in which the Press Baron's Jorgans were made to support the Blackshirt movement, when article after article appeared in such papers as the "Daily Mail" thundering approval of all that the [British Fascists been doing Indeed so powerful an aid was brought to the movement that it was assumed that in the event of jan early general election the Black-shirts would make a better showing than when last they appeared at {the elections, an occasion on which every one of their candidates was defeated. Since that time, while figures showing the exact strength lof Sir Oswald's following have not been available, it was believed that had gone on until it was feared that his aggregation of peculiar talent had developed into a political entity of which note would have to be taken by the other parties' when the next trial of strength took place at the polls. This fear was strengthened by the powerful championship of Lord Rothermere, probably with the same idea as chat which actuated his predecessor in the control of the "Daily Mail" of using the movement as a weapon for the purpose jot dominating politics according to Jhis own desires. It is possible, on the other hand, that Lord Rother mere looked upon the whole business as a good press stunt, or origi~ nally extended his support for the machiavellian purpose of lulling its leaders into a state of fancied security, and then ruining it by some Jsuch move as is now reported. Of [the three alternatives preference is given to the first, for it is clear that were British Fascism to succeed with the support of Lord Rothermere he would have been entitled... to a say in the counsels of the party proportionate to the valuable assistance he would have rendered.
