cooperate in combating Bolshevism.*  In England, the natural
disinclination of a section of the population towards Bolshevism has
permitted the formation of a Fascist party headed by Sir Oswald Mosley
which lives on despite repeated accounts of its agony, and it is
interesting to note in this connection that queries have been made in
Parliament concerning the financing of this party from "abroad" - the
German Propaganda Ministry is
apparently credited with unlimited means.
