Another section, however, believes that since it has proved possible

to ban political uniforms in other coun- tries, notably in Denmark and Ireland, such a prohibition ought to present no insurmountable obstacle here. They are not disturbed by the suggestion that Sir Oswald Mosley would, if political uniforms were banned, thereupon fall back upon some other insignia, for they argue plausibly that a button or a scarf or whatever other emblem he chose would not afford that symbol of military force which is the really provocative element in the Fascist propaganda. There is also considerable support for the definite limitation of street processions on the ground not merely of their danger to public order but of the grave impediment to traffic that they bring in their train.
