The methods of fascism Herr Hitler s brutal suppression of a revolt within the ranks nazi storm troopers been a severe blow a London Cable says to sir Oswald Mosley the English Black shirt party. It in alienated support from sir Oswald by informing Public Opin Liin about tie nature of the fascist movement the methods he which fascist maintain themselves in Power. Until recently Mosley the same role in British politics As Hitler filled in German politics five or six years ago when he was Tiara suing audiences in Munich Beer Halls. He was one of the zanies in the picture a figure of fun a comedian. Few people in Germany took Hitler seriously when his potent voice was first raised in the land. When Mosley. Whose wife is a daughter of the great tory administrator lord Curzon put on a Black shirt began gathering about him a retinue of spotters Strong Arm performers to promote the fascist cause the tolerant eng Lish regarded his performance As a comic eccentricity on the part of a Young aristocrat. Lately they have begun to take Mosley less humorously. Mosley now at his command a Small army of trained who Drill Wear uniforms surround their chief at his Public appearances. He the enthusiastic support of a hysterical Peerless lady Houston who devotes a Large Pri vate Fortune to propaganda for the cause. He the backing iks rhapsodic Al of the Rothe Mere popular press. A month ago in a London Hall Mosley addressed a Public meeting which been continuously discussed in British news papers Ever since. Mosley. As is his custom was supported by a bodyguard of a thousand or More Black shirts Many of them selected for physical strength willingness to use it on the least provocation. There were communist hecklers at the meet ing but the police were not present to put them out. So bound less is English Zeal for free speech that the London police do not attend meetings staged by any political group no matter How great the chances of violence seem to be. Except on storm troopers ing such intricate astonishing devices As this clock. And b beyond All that lies the supremely Gratifying feeling that is surely or. Shearer s. He will be the first to attest the great Happi Ness that been his while from the age of from 60 to 70 years he Laboured to assemble his time piece. Now that it is finished he May even experience a. Little tinge of dissatisfaction until he invasions an even More wonderful mechanical device or some sort sets himself to Fabri Cating it invitation of the promoters. Sir Oswald Mosley the police. He relied on his own bouncers. Had not invited accounts of the meeting vary but numerous Eye witnesses confirm reports that the interrupters were punched kicked. One Man was thrown Over the Edge of a Balcony. According to some testimony razor Blades brass Knuckles were in use. It is certain at any rate that there was a free for All fight in which not Only communists fascists but non partisan by standers who objected to the violence shown to hecklers were seriously Hurt. And this happened in England the motherland of democracy. English people their newspapers were Dis Turbed by the events at the Black shirt meet ing. They Are ask ing if tolerance of free speech must mean tolerance of organized brutality. Also they Are reflecting on the nature of fascism As a Politi Cal movement. It is an axiom of fascism openly stated by pre Mier Mussolini that the methods of election of office holders open discussion of issues tolerance of differences of inefficient obsolete. Government on the Black shirted Mode is government of a. Strong Man who Al Lons onh mock elections if he allows any at All tolerates up opinions but his own. And retains Power by slaughtering his opponents exiling them to penal islands or Dragoo Ning them into submission by economic pressure. Hitler s recent performance is a Good example of the use of the first method. Sir Oswald Mosley s meeting is a. Proof that the spirit of English fascism is the same As the spirit of european fascism. Finsley is entitled to a hearing of his views in England. It is his unwillingness to rely on the tradition of free speech the Power of persuasion that makes his Campaign anti social. He relies on Force therefore he provokes Force. He supports his plea for Power with violence. He would keep Power if Given it by the same Means. The British press no longer thinks Mosley is funny. Let us make no says the new statesman nation. No increase in police Powers will save England from the violence disaster of Germany if private armies Are once allowed to grow up in our those who Are attracted by the fascist idea there Are some in Canada should meditate on the implications of fascist government As revealed by Hitler s outburst in a less Start Ling Way by the episode of the Black shirt meeting in London. When a country submits to government by physical terrorism it suffers a total breakdown of civilized life. To quote from an article in the nineteenth Century by Austin Hopkinson a British m.p., fascism involves a Complete break with All our most cherished traditions the surrender of every Liberty for which our ancestors fought died. It is of alien origin suited y to those who have lost Faith not Only in the future of he inanity As a whole but in that form of civilization which no hero been on Pride As a nation. It is based upon the Grovel hns subservience of Little bullies to the Arch bully. Briefly it is the apotheosis of the or. Hopkinson observes that Many people in fear of communism have turned to fascism As an alternative failing to note that it is the same thing under another name. I fail to pageant of parliament they do these things rather Well in England. This time it is pageant of parliament which is being held at Albert Hall in London to Cele brate the development of the last seven Hundred years perhaps an Endeavor to show up that firings have happened before this Genera Tion took hold. There is the Magna Charta Edward summoning the first parliament Elizabeth giving her parliament a piece of her mind the suffragettes chaining them selves to the gallery. And Between times there Are scenes of shake Speare writing Samuel Pepys telling his wife the gossip of the or at least As much of it As the old Fox saw fit. And there is or. Johnson having Tea talk with mistress Thrale. All very effective so say the press reports. And As a finale there is a ban i of. Choristers singing a new hymn by Kipling non Nobis. Domine not unto us o lord the Praise glory be of any deed or word. For in thy judgment lies to Crown or bring to naught All knowledge device that Man reached or wrought. And we confess our blame How All too High we hold that noise which men Call Fame that dross which men Call Gold. For these we undergo our hot godless Days but in our souls we know not unto us the Praise. Of Power by whom we Livo creator judge Friend upholding by forgive nor leave us at the end. But Grant us yet to see in All our piteous ways non Noble Domine not unto us the perhaps it would have been just As to have Sung one written some time ago by the same author when inspiration coursed hot within his veins. It is called the the British nations be ii. Writes that submitting to sir 0. Mosley would 14 tie gradation than submitting to sir s. Cripps or vice versa. For my part i May say if i am for once permitted use the vernacular that i would sen them both in hell first. Indeed if All goes Well i these arc strenuous words but to the Point. To Many besides or. Hopkinson it is simply not credible that people used to Freedom will Ever submit to fascist terrorism even if it does in return give economic Security which Ftp to Date it does nowhere in the world. A lesson in Industry a lesson in Industry Indef ability is presented in the com Cletion of what is perhaps the world s most won Deroui clock. It a he work of or. Marvin Shearer to year old inventor of Akron Ohio. The instrument not Only tells time sings talks at intervals automatically by records plays tune on a Reedless pipe Organ hour. It Cook ten years to build besides considerable to total other substances con five thousand pieces of Wood several Miles of electric wiring. One for a moment o real fully the size of the task of All the parts of this astonishing mechanism. It ha.? re Ordinary hobbies pleasures. And it undoubtedly required a patience that would have tried Job himself for there were surely times when difficulties in construction were Only surmounted after Many trials been made failures overcome. But Industry and have won or. Shearer s marvellous clock a work of great in Gearity stands to be admired by those less gifted with mechanical skill. Have the Effort the cer Tain sacrifice entailed been Worth the answer is without hesitation. Yes. Not Only its maker Given to the world an instrument of curious Powers but his activity been a valuable object lesson in itself to others. There Are wired Industry far beyond that much ipes laudable ways of using pent by the average individual in one s spare time than in construct farm schools Twenty years ago Kingsley fair Bridge one the first Rhodes scholars established a farm school in Western Australia for the Pur pose of educating poorer children from great Britain training them for farm life. The Fairbridge farm school was a great Success. died a few years after the work was begun but it was taken up by others received support from the government of Australia. A movement now been organized in great Britain to establish other similar schools in the dominions a fund of is being raised for the purpose. This plan of child migration is different from others which placed the children in Foster Homes among the people of the dominions. The children will be educated trained in farming for five years before going to work for Farmers. Boys girls both sent to the schools. It is expected that 300 or 400 children will be sent yearly from great Britain to the proposed farm schools in the dominions. One of the schools is to be located in British Columbia the Canadian government the British Colin Hia government having Given their consent. The Prince of Wales launched the Appeal for funds at a recent meeting in London he opened the subscription list with his own Cheque for the was also supported in a letter to the London times by an influential group including Hon l. S. Amery lord Lothian lord Salisbury sir e. A Peacock. A question of privilege Many delays Piave interfered with the Progress of the British parliamentary joint committee on Indian constitutional Reform it is said that the report of the inquiry nto the White paper proposals will not be completed for parliament before late in the fall. Many circumstances have conduced to the delay of the work of the joint com Mittee but the latest is the most unusual. That is the investigation into the allegations made by or. Churchill in parliament when he charged the Secretary of state for Ndia sir Samuel Hoare lord Derby with influencing the Man Chester chamber of Commerce to withdraw evidence already submit Ted to submit altered evidence. In other they been guilty of tampering with witnesses of the evidence those witnesses bad meant to give. The charge was bought to be preposterous but tie British parliament deemed that having been Laid it to be inquired into by the House of com Mons committee of privileges. This committee sat at great length took exceeding pains Over a length of two months before Mak ing its report. The committee found that no breach of privilege was committed by sir Samuel Hoare or lord Derby. This unanimous find ing was then submitted to Parlia ment the motion the prime minister that it be accepted was debated at length. Or. Churchill defended his action but did not make any withdrawal while declining to impute corruption of any kind but insisted that his sole object was to preserve the integrity of parliamentary procedure. The debate been called a fierce affair of dialectical savagery. Or. Churchill was not let off lightly was mockingly pilloried by or. Amery sir John Simon generally lamented for not withdrawing gracefully in defeat by admitting he been misled or mistaken in an Effort that taken on the invidious charac Ter of having been a cruel attempt to wrong sir Samuel Hoare especially. References to the voluminous reports Given these proceedings in the British press were prevented by the Dominion Day Holiday from being Given in this column last week but the whole matter created such an interest in British politics must have an immense reaction in India itself it cannot be omitted. The history of the matter can Best perhaps be summarized in extracts from the Lon Don times but it must riot be Over looked that the incidents occurred More than a year ago although or. Churchill either delayed for reasons Liat have not been divulged or most strangely was kept in ignorance of what very Many knew did not. Spring until a few month ago the explosion he thought would upset the proceedings of the India joint committee probably by dam aging the Secretary of state who been the mainstay both of the White. Paper recommendations Anc of their inquiry by the joint com Mittee. The allegation against sir Sam Uel Hoare a lord Derby was that they influenced the Manchester chamber of Commerce to withdraw certain evidence submitted to the joint committee on India to substitute an amended version at an ties rights of the House of commons. The attitude of or. Churchill reminded one not so much of Martin i can do no of lord Macaulay. Most members of the House been recently read ing with immense enjoyment the Brilliant volume in which or. Churchill vindicated the reputation of his great. Ancestor the Duke of Marlborough against charges so lightly brought against or that dim by lord Macaulay. Churchill said in his Book lord Macaulay assumed the authenticity of a certain letter with in from the Golden books god of the open air Henry Van Dyke these Are the gift i ask of Serene i strength for the daily task courage to face the tha Good cheer to help me Bear s Load for the hours of that come Between an inward Joy or All things heard seen. These sins i Fain would have thee take cold disdain hot anger sullen hate scorn of tie the discontent that casts a Shadow Gray questioning glee proceed so to on All the brightness of the Corn use it in the most sensational malicious manner. Like lord Macaulay or. Churchill Dis Amery knew not be that it would covered or. How it might never be Docu ments. Or. Churchill., hastened with unquestioning glee to build up upon a Structure of inference surmise which the searching investigation of the com Mittee of privileges tumbled Down like a. Pack of a devastating Case was made out categorically against the Atti tude taken All along continued in by or. Churchill in a powerful speech delivered sometimes with Rich humor by sir John Simon the Long or. Foreign Secretary who was known As a great lawyer. Today s scripture St. Matthew 5 be have heard that it hath been said thou Shalt love thy neighbor hate thine enemy. But i say unto you love your enemies bless them that curse you do Good to them that hate you Pray for them which despite fully use you persecute you that be May be the children of your father which is in heaven for he Marketh his Sun to Rise on the evil on the Good Send eth rain on the just on the unjust. For if be love them which love you what Reward have be do not even the publicans the same if be Salute your Breth Ren Only what do be More than others do not even the publicans so be be therefore perfect even As your father in heaven is perfect. Later. In particular a dinner Derby House was quoted As Churchill made great play in his speech Over being denied per Mission to read a sentence from a letter. J there sir John Simon is reported to have said a most delightful passage arms wits by which he or. Church ill hoped to Force out an addition to the extracts from the letter already to printed in the report of the committee of Privi Leges he indicated without saying what the contents were that it would make All the difference to him if Only one More sentence might be produced. He Laboured under a severe sense of injustice it was manifestly unfair improper everything that was disgraceful that he should be deprived of this sentence. I. Certainly expected that if he. Ever got it it would really turn out to he some thing tremendous. It was a letter from the Secretary of state for India. We were All of us hanging on the moment when this secret might be revealed. It is always a Good plan to see whether or not there is anything in a Case presented terms it is Manifest there in the complaint at All. The sentence proved quite innocuous or. Churchill reminded me of an Inci Dent which i recall in. of the Law where there was a great the divorce court i think it. A particular question it could properly be got from a chamber maid in a divorce suit. After much argument the Learned judge decided that the question could not be. Put. An Appeal was taken to tha court of Appeal where there was More argument ultimately a judg ment by three lords justices that he question could not be put. After l proper lapse of time the matter was taken to the House of lords where argument was put Forward by gentlemen in full bottomed wigs. Judgment was reserved ultimately a majority decided that the question could be put. Thereupon chambermaid was brought Back to the divorce court asked what happened in the corridor on a particular Day. She said please sir. I do not know i was away for a Holiday " sir Kojm Simon Laid on his argument mostly with less peasantry than this extract might suggest he was concluding however on the conciliatory note the Rea truth is of course that while this matter May have been a proper one to be raised it is now finally Dis posed or. Not make any mistake about sir John May be that the Rig Fhon gentleman is right in his muttered tha we Are riot to make any mistake a bout that. Then i begin to think that this proceeding is not engineered in order to vindicate the Law of parliament. The right Hon gentleman bids us make no Mistak about it. We. Shall see about thai. These proceedings were started in the Hope belief that they would Mon Day. Are the things hold of Dearest Light of the Sapphire skies peace of the silent Hills shelter of Comfort of the grass Ielusic of Birds murmur of Little rills shadows of Clouds that quickly pass after showers the smell of Flowers of the , Best of along the Way Friendship mirth. So let me keep these treasures of the Humble heart in True Possession owning them by love when at last i can no longer move among Thorn freely but must part from the Green Fields from the Waters Clear let me not creep nto some darkened room hide from All that makes the world so Bright dear but throw the windows wide to Welcome Light while i clasp a Well beloved hand let me once More have sight of the deep sky the far smiling then gently fall on sleep breathe my body Hack to nature s care my spirit out to thee god of the open air. Bring ruin upon my birthday congratulations to d. C. Coleman. Winnipeg born Carleton place ont., july occasion of what Are quaintly de scribed As special contacts the answer to the allegation summarized with similar Brevity was to show that these contacts Between Lancashire the India office were neither new nor unnatural. There been incessant discus Sion Between them largely concerning Cotton not merely for months but throughout the last two decades these discussions were not interrupted by the appointment of the joint select committee. Similarly lord Derby whose membership of the joint committee was largely due to his unique position in Lancashire remained All the time in the closest touch with the representatives of his county s industries. The com Mittee of privileges have no doubt that the initiative in All this close relationship came neither from lord Derby nor from sir Samuel Hoare. Hut from Lancashire itself that there is no ground for any. Suggestion that with a View to the alteration of evidence any advice been Given or any pres sure indeed tie commit tee s report proves that the Altera Tion was requested from Lanca Shire which at the Earnest Behest of the Lancashire Mission which gone to India to treat with the industrialists there not Only altered its original testimony but requested its withdrawal made an entire new submission one based on a policy of differing from a former attempt to Force a policy of compulsion. The House commons approved the report of the committee of privileges without a division in a mood unfavourable to or. Churchill an old Brilliant favored member. It was obvious that the House Felt he taken a doubtful Means to further his own. Ends which in this instance Are to defeat the Grant of constitutional reforms to India to which he is bitterly opposed. References Are made to Bis speech or. Amery is quoted As part i confess i hoped for a very different speech from that to which we have just listened. There is no one in this House who knows better How to conduct a skilful Good Humoured Retreat from an untenable position no one to whom in difficult circumstances As an old favorite the House is More willing to extend its fullest consideration. He. Has us. He in Stead delivered a direct frontal attack on the findings of the com Mittee of privileges.

An Indian Christian Showran s. Singha contributes to the Conte a sketch of William Carey the apostle of India who at Ketter ing in october 1792, founded the Baptist missionary society who went out to India established a College at Seramore which is this Day we Are told the Only Christian University in India.

The present Orienta writer wonders if statesmen an politicians realize How much India owes to tie Cobbler Carey for giving England the moral leadership which she now enjoys in the world human beings he Felt should not be looked upon merely in terms o Money but in terms of service Anc or. Singha writes Lik an evangelical Anglo Saxon. When englishmen speak Abou moral responsibility towards Al races within the British Empire they might Well be reminded that i was Carey who tried to awaken or rather quicken the conscience o his countrymen to that duty. He faced the hostility of his own race chiefly the financiers the re British Mer East Indian the Golles it lion. Mend the Secretary of state for India at the end of two months during which he endured this grievous charge this great wrong he is unanimously acquitted instead of the ruin which it was designed to bring upon him he got his vindication.

And profligate lives of those of his own race gave Carey no encouragement to preach the religion which he come to propagate.

With his usual urbanity president Roosevelt taken some of the sting out of the pocket for one reason or another Congress always resented this kind of a veto. When Congress is in session sends a Bill for approval to the president the president must within ten Days approve the same or return it to Congress with his objections. If he fails to take any action within that period the Bill automatically be comes Law. However if Congress passes a Bill then adjourns it Falls by the Wayside unless signed by the president. He cannot return it to Congress with a veto message because Congress is no longer in session. President Jackson a Hundred years ago permitted Many Bills which been passed in the last Days of the session to become waste paper by merely refraining from approving the same. In the popular Par Lance of the Day he put the Bills in his pocket paid no further at Tention to them. This was the origin of the phrase pocket veto which survives to this Day. Some presi dents in thus disposing of Bills seem to h ave treated Congress with a certain contempt. They did not take the trouble to explain Why they considered the Bills objection Able for example both houses of Congress after years of investigation study passed by almost unanimous vote during the Coolidge administration a Bill to put to some use the Gigantic Power development at muscle Shoals Ala Bama upon we the govern men t expended one Hundred thirty million dollars. Was. Tie president six Days be fore Congress adjourned so that he ample time to return it wit i a veto message if be so desired. Con Gress departed from Washington firmly believing that or. Coolidge would sign the Bill but he gave it a pocket veto without any explanation. President Roosevelt established a new precedent. The recent Congress dumped some three Hun dred Bills upon his desk then adjourned. Many of them were signed by the president while others did not meet with his approval. He took the trouble How Ever in every Case where he thought the Bill was objectionable to file a written memorandum explaining Why he could not give the measure his approval. This be was not required to do but it was a Graceful gesture which no doubt Many members of both houses appreciated. in.
