The first thing to remember about Sir Oswald Mosley is

that what he wants above all things is publicity, and some of the daily papers which are most opposed to him are very much too ready to give him what he wants. I am not at all in favour of suppressing important news, but Sir Oswald is not at present important news, and will not be unless the Press obliges him by building him up. He was pretty completely eclipsed during the war, and if the papers have any sense, as well as any just sense of news values, they will make a point of giving his activities a quarter of a column where they now give them three quarters, and so pro rata.
