Such an act is clearly Fascist. Its loudest champions have been Britain's No. 1 Blackshirt Sir Oswald Ernald Mosley, Tory Die-Hard Winston Churchill and the Commissioner of London's Metropolitan Police, leather-lunged Lord "Boom" Trenchard.

...Stevens wrote and distributed three months ago, weighted with his authority as Minister of Trade and Commerce, Chairman of the Royal Commission on Price Spreads and Mass Buying and an avowedly Conservative member of Parliament. It loosely and libelously arraigns Canada Packers Ltd., Dominion Securities Corp., Robert Simpson Co., Sir Joseph Flavelle, Imperial Tobacco Co., and T.
