Mosley Resigns
from Labor Party
Stage Set for Fascist
Party

LONDON, March l. - The final
step in the natural evolution Of Sir
Oswald Mosley from a social fascist
to an out-and-out fascist occurred
today with his resignation from the
social-fascist British Labor Party
and his announced intention of or
ganizing a new party.
The new party will be a fascist
party and will have the support Of a
substantial bloc of British financiers
who believe that the time is short
in which the British Labor Party
can successfully continue its treach-
erous role as the defender of Brit
ish Imperialism and its hangnlan in
the colonies. These see the need ct
a more open and brutal capitalist
dictatorship and have rallied to tht
support of Manifesto" Mosley.
This objective is being covered up
with such phrases as the need of
Transforming parliament from
talkshop into a workshop, national
planning, etc. Under these and
other fake phrases, Mosley is max
ing a desr rate attempt to rally the
youth of Great Britain to support
of his reactionary program.
In the meantime, a large group of
British flnanciers are still depending
upon the willing social-fascist Labor
Party to pull them out Of the de-
preston by saddling the British
workers and especially the enslaved
colonial masses with the burdens of
the crisis.
