IGNORING MOSLEY
Sta,—During the recent disturbances at Ridley Road wise counsel was offered to Jewish people whose hearts were pierced by a shaft of fear ; they were advised to stay away, for if Mosley and Hamm, who represent no one except a collection of ex-18B detainees reinforced by the riff-raff of the streets, were ignored, they would fade into deserved obscurity.

Some fifty representatives of the Press attended ; Sir Oswald's pronouncements were given prominent pub- licity in most of the daily newspapers and also in the B.B.C. news. Next time a similar invitation is issued is it too much to expect that the Press and the B.B.C. will follow the advice which has been given—often with con- siderable emphasis—to the Jewish community, and stay away ?
