N0 DICTATORS', BRITISH CABINET WARNS MOSLEY llv Harold P. llramnn LONDON m Downing Street hos a new sign: "No Dictators Wont ed." The sign, figuratively printed, was erected by the Joint efforts of Ram say Mac Don aid. the prime minister, and several or his cabinet as a result of the Increasing prominence of the BrltlBh fascist movement. MacDonald and the national gov ernment, by this action, focused of ficial attention on Sir Oswald Mosley and his black shirts, for the first time. It lot. h Bring Recognition For many months the government declined to be drawn Into public RtntpmentB on Moslev and his follow ers. The policy was not to dignify the movement by official recognition. A series of Incidents, however. changed that policy, and fascists have been jibing at the cabinet for what it termed "sudden alarm." Mosley has been having big meet ings, some more or less private, and the communists and other left groups have been making the most of j the situation. i ., i t. Clashes have occurred at all pub lic gatherings of this nature and the fighting has been Increasingly bitter. . j Tho brawling brought obout the government's official acknowledge ment that a fascist movement exists. In fact .once the cabinet leaped into the fascist - communist controversy, it made a good Job of it. Tories Lead Attacks No less than eight ministers made speeches denouncing Mosley and. his black shirts and some or the strong est language was used by conserva tives. There have been many political ob servers who had termed the Mosley men "tory storm troops," but these outbursts, by tory leaders were taken as an Indication that the conserva tive party, as a unit, doesn't want him. MacDonald, sometimes hard to arouse, came out publicly against the black shirts only after long cogi tation. This country will accept no dic tatorship," the prime minister warn ed. "Great Britain wants no tam- prinp with the liberties of a demo cracy." Fascism has also been getting plenty of attention In parliament hardly a day passes but that some member asks a question of a minister about fascist activities or denounces Mos ley. The press, too. Is giving more space to the fascists' movements, especially when there's a riot.
