Their. office makes one ®f the most interesting visits in Lon - .don to -day, though 1'11 admit it brings one up with a bit of a jerk to find oneself in the midst of a blackshirted society of r•evolutionar- Iles, right in "dear, jolly old London." -On one wall hangs a Targe scale map of the city, stuck,with small black flags, ]ie a 'war-ap. Ask it they (.lave that many party cells in Lon - .don, -and you receive the quiet an- swer, "Yes, we have all those dis- tricts under -control." Whatever your views on their po- litical faith, .the discipline and quiet .assurance of the men forces your ad- miration. They have need of it, too, to stand the mixed apathy and de- rision with which they are received by the average man on the street, who as y'et understands very imper- fectly what Meir faith or aims are. Membership of 50,000 The movement started some two years ago, after Mosley had resigned .from the Labor Government, saying "We can't inuddle through this time." They now have 50,000 men enrolled, I gathered from an unguarded re- mark in- the office. Following , the simple law that large stone's gather more moss than small ones, their re- cruiting , they claim is now proceed- ing prose d- i g at just twice the rapidity of two months ago. The groundwork being laid with a stet of party cells reaching over Eng- land, they have started the big task of building membership and educat- ing the public on their program. The time element will be vital to them. &Given two years, or better, three,'and they can be ready, but if the crisis .comes in a year or 18 months there will scarcely be time. That again de- pends on how violently the political "roux" ferments. If- England con- tinues to get ,along somehow the na- tional apathy will work against their early success. As it is, they are ready to dress up the window a- bit, and begin their campaign. This will start with the approaching opening of an ed'ucation- al show room in the West End—Fasc- isnt .'planted in aristocratic Regent Street. At the same time an impos- ing new bee:quar•ters, "Black Howse" will be inaugirated. More Black - shirts will be dressed, and the move- ment kept favorably in the eye of that public which they dish to im- press. 'They admit 'plainly that with- out a substantial measure of support from the middle and upper classes they cannot succeed. Labor Hostile to Fascists They know that at 'present the working classes are solidly .against the Fascist idea. Only a month ago the whole Labor Party turned out on May Day to hear its leaders—what is left of them—thunder against Fascism', particularly as manifested in Germany. Perhaps if the fate of the Trade' Union movement in . Ger- many looks brighter in a year, this opposition will lessen. In' the mean- time feelirug is so overwhelmingly against them as to make one dubious. of their success, except in 'the case of an extraordinary crisis arising in (Britain, Seen from a Fascist viewpoint that crisis is here; he sees Westminster as a crowd of inexpert members, clinging to out-of-date shibboleths, Reduced Fares Between All Points in Canada and to certain destinations in United States.

The Fascist mind, then, inhabits a world of crisis, but the average Eng- lishman .still...tliinks that this is only a spell of bad tines and that things are'bound to pick up soon. The Fas- cist sees our civilization in' danger of imminent decay if it continues its present chaotic course; the Britisher replies that if • we just don't get ex- cited we'll get through this too, somehow. So it would seen" that the. state of the country will have to get, much worse before our Fascist friends will Ibe able to make an im- pression. It is not only a new phil- osophy of government which they anti talking, but a revolutionary one, and Britain has only known two rev- olutions in seven hundred years. What British Fascism Is The idea is a revolutionary one, but they propose no revolution to achieve it. No Dictatorship in the Continental Pmanner is proposed?' for England—they are striving to evolve "a for•in of. Fascism with peculiarly British characteristics, and in a man- ner which will avoid the excesses and horrors of Continental struggle." • They 'intend to plaice members, in power in a constitutional way until they attain to power. Then they would organize what they call the Corpor-. ate State, 'built • on an occupational franchise instead of a residential one. ...The problem of democracy to -day with its widely extended franchise is plainly one of a too -!broad and ill-in- formed electorate worked on by jour- nalistic catch -words and jingoism. The Fascists say, and rightly, that a loan is better informed in his own job than in any other, and fitted to discuss bhe problems of his occupa- tion. Groups elected in this manner would be capable of intelligently re- presenting. their own trade, profes- sion, or occupation, and Would be more liable to take the, national view. The vote would then mean something. Tp add a leaven of broader minds, a number of members would be elected on general ground's of national pol-' icy, from. much large constituencies than at present. • Employer; and Employee 'This group, and the 'Corporation members, would then co-operate to form the Parliament. The underly- ing idea is that of team -work be- tween employee and employer, be- tween working-class and middle and professional classes, and is diametric- ally opposed to the .Marxian creed of class -war, the rooting -up first of all the trees in the garden, simply be- cause they were planted by the en- emly. "Fascism would absorb what- ever elements are useful and bene- ficial." The Crown they "respect and venerate," but "not so the House of Lords, whose only function is inter- ference without responsibility." 'Now irresponsible obstruction is the par- ticular fault of parliamentary dem- ocracy that makes ,dour Fascist see red quickest—or brown, or black, ori whatever his color may be. Parlia- ment once elected, an Executive Com- mittee is chosen and proceeds to rule —by Decree. 'Parliament would not be permitted to obstruct, but would re- tain the 'power to dismiss the Execu- tive' by a vote of censure. Property rights will be respected, but owner- ship of such will entail an obligation to so use them as to further the pur- pose of the State. That, briefly, is the "Reform Bill of 1933." Their plan has the appear- ance of an improved democratic go'v- erninent; it would remain to the good faith of the Leader as to how long the Dictatorship were willing to ac- rept its counsel. Liberty Under a Fascism Regime Any discussion of Fascism in Eng- land soon comes around to the point of liberty. To this they reply that surely noone can imagine that Brit- ons as a race are free? How can the mass possess freedom, understood as the liberty to..enjoy some of the fruits of life, a reasonable standard of living, ago d house- reasonabl:- hours of ,leisure after a day's work short enough not to leave a man ex- hausted, a secured future for wife and children—in a time of economic chaos? They propose to end the chaos by rationalized Igdvernrment. Fascist freedom may be summed up as "Liberty in private, Obligation in public life." This tendency to call for more dis- cipline in government to -day was ,brought up by Mr. H. G. Wells the other day, who asked if it were com- patible with the universally -accepted idea of a free, interdependent world. The British Union of Fascists say that it most certainly is, but that the present movement toward economic nationalism mist go forward, because it is an impossible task to reorganize the whole world at one go. The ef- fort must first be confined within one nation, where concerted action is pos- sible. "In ten years" (my compan- ion quoted from a"talk he had with Mussolini a month ago), "there will be ,a Fascist Europe, with govern- ments which can answer for their people, organized for peace." �ry .,ii&rilllfi'd s.it:.i.,cat�••JsS;h''i,, S4: ;rte •'`aimam} Stle iNative Gable kt She terd-cOminig" to .eai a1 NAI 40,44...Thsited .Chinch, ars b, ,, ".11:n .lay',,' $#Ptemjber 4.011, at 11 a sn. and on the following Thursday night, 'September 14th, at 8 pant., he and his, putty with Madam Hafboush will present the famous Musical 'Travelogue, "The 'Se'ven.

Death..Arrives Right on Dot Frank Cummings, 72, of Colon, Michigan, got 'a r.havte and a haircut, dressed himself in his best clothes, made arrangements for his funeral, and dropped dead. "It'll Ibe cheaper to have this done now than to wait till after I'm dead," he told the barber. Frpm the barber shop he walked to an undertaker's establishment and arranged a funeral. Then he went directly acrbss the street to a cafe operated by a friend of his. Twenty minutes later he fell dead, in the midst of conversation with the cafe owner. If there is one thing that really is modern it is being interested in what- ever is. medieval.—Mr. G. IK. Chester- tcu. Peace is too often presented as a rather insipid female in a nightgown with a dove on her Wrist and a wreath of rather faded, laurel in her hand.. !Mr. P. H. B. Lyon. I would paraphrase a great saying. and say that it is the duty• of the British Empire to save herself by her exertions and to save the whole of humanity by her example. --Lord Cec A Policy of "Britain First" Their .policy is plainly "British First" In, his book, "The Greater Britain," Sir Oswald ,Mosley sketch- es the story of• how England has lost her markets, many forever, .because these markets have chosen to indus- trialize themselves. The . factors of the case are altering—the old meth- ods won't do. Fix.u the p all h prob- lems that faced ithe late- World Con- ference, current stabilization, rais- ing of prices, tariff and debt reduc- tion, and still you have .machinery in the world to=day to produce far more than can conceivably be 'consumed un- der the, present system. Industry' is highly organized; the State is not. He would rationalize the State to ov- ercome the problem created by ra- tionalized industry. IHe inveighs against the anarchy of competition that forces down produc- tion costs in the chase of illusory foreign markets, thus cutting wakes, and reducing the buying power in the home market. 'Hie 'proposes to build up this home market by giving great- er purchasing power to the people, and to control competition and wag- es (even as Mr. Roosevelt). "Only the corporate State can do this." In Export Trade the slogan is strictly "Britain buys front those who buy from Britain," and the power to transfer .bulk purchases of materials elsewhere, is the lever which will keep export markets open. The ''Em - Dire is seen as greatly.. benefitting from the Corporate organization at home. As Britain's external buying and selling arrangements are consoli- dated,' it will become possible to en- ter into direct relations with the var- ious Producers' Co-operatives exist- ing at present in the Dominions. In- evitably,' a Corporate Empire would be evolved. At Fascist headquarters they were particularly interested in the present ,political situation in Canada. They are even now starts to establish branches in the Doninion, and have had several applications from Canada. Dr. Forgan showed me his morning mail, containing enquiries from ev- ery one of the Dominions. Consid- ering the enormity of their task, their confidence is amazing. Other Fascist Groups in Britain These nen have a conviction, a faith and they will more than need it to overcome John Bull's repugnance to the word "Fascist." The issue is further confused by the 'multiplicity of political uniforms now appearing in this country. There are Red - shirts, belonging to the Youth Move- ment of one wing of the Socialist Party. There are also Green Shirts, followers of Major C, H. Douglas in his Social Credit Scheme. Ten of them put up a rabid show after the inaugural of the World Economic Conference, shouting "Down with the Bankers Combine—declare the Na- tional Dividend!" In Scotland there are the Socialist "Blue Shirts?' and the list is complete with tnvo more Fascist groups, the Imperials, and the `British Fascists (distinct from British Union of Fascists). "Unfortunately," said Mr. Mosley's chief Iieutenanrt, "The Nazis have' formed an alliance in London with the Imperial Fascists, who are a lit- tle gang of Jew-baiters, and literally don't nurmlber threescore." He in- stanced his trials, by showing me the morning paper, (bearing a promine.nt story, "Fascists and. Italian allies in West End fracas'." Dr. Forgan strongly denied any tenets of anti- Semitism for Mosley's Fascists; they just don't concern themselves with that. They have little sympathy with the :Nazis, but are ardent admirers -of Mussolini's organization in Italy. That brings up another thing that sets John Bull against them; he doesn't like foreign importations. It seems they would have done better to have chosen conte other name than Fascists. People ridicule their black shirts, call them "Boy Scouts," and trouble -makers, aril refuse to take them seriously. The Fascists are determined though, and consider they have a really constructive program) to fight for.• lit.4ri`,rll{uNCfia.ayC, �.ilt'�1i!nil,Y'�yi�L OSITOir • afx;141bong4v,i0 ,a n Ga ilg an and i4o th,, ,;F101 ,eat} +62.00311;:. turn: ern the hil#5,,ol4t 3bher 'Sep, ... ii Galilee and _in -1tio yo' li tend'e s< father's flock Of -shy►, just. aa.240ry: Galilean boy has Idone,.sia!•ice the? day,' when the Master .walked among men.

He haswritten for magazines and newspapers and Isipoklest ''before- great- audiences' • in, many 'of the . famous churches and schools in America and Canada. There -is an inspiration in the life and teaching of Stephen A. Haboush for everyone. ' His messages and 'Travelogues bring to the material present the story of life in Galilee and Palestine as it was and as it is, the story of the Scriptures inter- preted by one to whom the scenes of the story of tfhe four Gospels are his native land. ,He is the author of "My' Shepherd Life in Galilee," and in the book re- view of the 'Boston Transcript ap- peared this statement, "He enters into the feeling of the most famous bit of the world's devotional litera- ture with insight and charm." 'Mr. Haboush's Travelogues on Gal- ilee and Palestine are a distinct con- tribution to North American letters and.to modern thought. They breathe the very life and mysticism of the ancient East. Part of it is delivered in native costume, the sante costume worn by native Galileans in the days of the Bible story. Part of his dra- matic story is delivered to the ac- companiment of the weird Oriental shepherd pipes. And b:sides his thrilling scenes he will show special motion pictures. It is a program that will be a delight and an inspira- tion to all who will be fortunate en- ough to hear him. BIRTHS Langford,• -=In Clinton, on August• 12th, to Mr. and Mrs. Harold Langford, a son.
