FASCISM AND DISORDER [To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.] Sin,—Your
extraordinary article on the Fascist march brings out three elements not previously associated with your paper. First, it reads like a blood-and-thunder editorial of our more vulgar newspapers. Secondly it suggests to your readers that you are giving way to a panic syndrome closely allied to the fear hysteria of a deer facing a leopard. But, worst of all, you omit to give prominence to the terror-tactics of those who claim to be anti-Fascists and to whose cowardly acts the up- heaval of last Sunday week is to be attributed. Such colossal bias is unworthy of your paper, and one begins to wonder whether the present editors have any moral or ethical right to be looked upon as the true guardians of The Spectator tra- [The cause of the trouble on the date in question waS the action of tIle Fascists, with their. antiAreivish record, in announcing a march in uniform through one of the most Jewish districts in London. There was never a time in The Spectator's history when it would not have protested in the interests of order and decency against such wanton pro- vocation.—En. The Spectator.]
