GREAT BRITAIN: Positives of Action!

(3 of 3)

"As my husband says," flashed Lady Mosley, "it is no longer a case of England muddling through! If the present crisis is not solved England goes under."

Heckled another, "I suppose you and him think you're Socialist! You in your black silk lay-dee-day-dee's gown this minit!"

"My God!" retorted the daughter of Lord Curzon, "if you had sat in the House of Commons for the last 18 months you would be here on the platform beside me! If you want to find the betrayers of Socialism, go to the Labor Government Cabinet."

B. Y. P. Among London's Bright Young People (particularly the females) Lady Cynthia and Sir Oswald are considered delightful, their panaceas adorable.

Among Jewish friends of Lady Cynthia who take Sir Oswald seriously is Frau Gustav Stresemann, widow of the late, great German Foreign Minister. A few months before Dr. Stresemann died, a few weeks before the present British cabinet was formed, the Stresemanns and the Mosleys went on a light-hearted German bummel.

Perhaps even the Great Man was taken in. Incredible as it may seem, Frau Stresemann went about telling her German friends confidentially (after the bummel) that there was a chance, a real chance that George V would call Sir Oswald to the prime ministry instead of Ramsay MacDonald!

In the lobbies of the House of Commons, last week, M. P.'s professed to take the New Party as a huge joke. But one prominent Labor statesman said (off the record) : "I think they are mistaken in pooh-poohing Mosley. They ought to watch him. He's a persistent little terrier. Smart, too!"

Everyone was repeating to everyone else a very solemn joke: "Have you heard the news? Ramsay has resigned, and Mosley has sent for the King."

A check-up on Sir Oswald's personal cars revealed last week that his Bentley speedster is in a French garage, smashed up. His roaring Mercedes is ready for him the moment he hops out of bed. Herr Adolf Hitler also rides a Mercedes.
