and their prayer was answered by

government. There Is iron in VIM

Mosley and many Of his chief UNI
derlings. It was the end OF Q long
chapter. It was also q sort OF anti
climax to what at one time seemed
destined to be great career.
TWIN
IDOLS
Mosley, born with q golden spoon
In his mouth. educated at Winches-
ter and Sandhurst, heir to an old
baronetcy, served well In the last
war and afterward entered the
House of Commons for Harrow.
DESERVING the Tory party, he was
elected as q Labor member for
Smethwick.
Fair-haired boy with Premier
Ramsay Mcdonald, he was made
Chancellor OF the Duchy OF Lancas-
ter.
DESERVING the Labor party. he
started the New party, which ran
candidates for Parliament, includ-
ing himself, and lost every contest.
In 1892 he founded the British
Union Of Fascists. He initiated his
new idol, Mussolini, by dressing his
men In black shirts and adopting
o salute similar to that Of the Ital-
ian organization.
Then he added Hitler to his he
roes and called his outfit British
Union Of Fascists and National So
cialists.
4iis band Of followers began sing
ing a doggerel set to the music Of
Hitler's Horst Vessel song. Just as
Hitler In the beginning was sur
rounded by his brown shirted escort
Of tough looking young men, so
Mosley at his meetings had his es-
cort of black-shirted toughs.
He changed his opinions with
quicksilver speed. When Socialist
member Of Parliament, he referred
scathingly to the italian Fascists as
"blackshirted buffoons making a
cheap imitation Of ice-cream sell
lers." Not long after he CARRIED his
men the same way.
In 1888 he said he wanted to
make 1t clear that neither he nor
his organization was anti-Semitic.
Jew-baiting In the past few years
has been his chief oratorical stunt.
When his men interrupted politi-
cal meetings of other parties, he de-
Tended the immemorial rights OF the
heckler at British political meetings.
Recently at Leeds he asked the po-
lice to do their duty" and arrest q
man who heckled him.

force the armistlce terms. French
government representatives were In

Reynaud,s decision that the Ameri-

During these negotiations, he said,
Britain agreed that France might
