SCENES IN LONDON COMMUNISTS AT EMBASSY LONDON, Dec. 17. Two hundred East End Communists, including women and children, marched to the German Embassy to protest against the Reichstag fire trial. They charged through the police cordon. Reinforcements made a baton charge aud scattered thc demonstrators, several of whom were arrested. A minor clash in Regent Street resulted in the arrest of the bearer of a Red Flag. Eventually, Alan Thomas, secretary of the International Labour Defence, accompanied by a colleague, was permitted to enter the Embassy alone and lodge a petition, but they were not allowed to see the Ambassador. Subsequently Black Shirts and Communists clashed in Trafalgar Square. Mounted police dispersed the crowd. In Whitechapel a meeting of 1500 Jews resolved to boycott German goods for a week, beginning on January 14, accompanied by a house to house canvass in order to ensure Jews throughout England participating. Dr. M. Gaster declared that Germany was arming, France trembling and Britain hesitating, but the Jews were disarming Germany by cutting her economic nerve.
