THEMSELVES TO THANK
British Fascists and Public
Order Bill
(British Official Wireless.) Rugby, November 11. The provisions of the Public Order Bill, which are now published, receive wide approval as being satisfactory and comprehensive. “The Times” remarks: “Restrictions of a political nature are not lightly imposed on personal liberty in Great Britain, but few will quarrel with the Bill on the ground that it is too repressive and many humble people in the East End and elsewhere will hail it with delight and gratitude. So will the police, for the Fascist and Communist factions, by making themselves an intolerable nuisance on a small scale, have increased the difficulties of maintaining law and order. In principle the Bill does not discriminate against Fascists in favour of Communists. though at the moment it may seem to do so in respect of uniforms. But the Fascists have only themselves to thank for creating a threat that, but for tbe Bill, the political underworld would shortly have been flooded with inter-doctrinal haberdashery."
