A British Fascista organization has been definitely established with Baron Garvagh at its head. It is a " purely patriotic movement for protection of King and Commonwealth." A leaflet describing the Party's political aims stressed the fact that it is "not a swashbuckling concern, nor a Ku Klux Klan, nor any form of terrorism, nor even a class movement." On ceremonial occasions the British Fascisti will wear a black badge surmounted by a large F.
The Colonial Office announced that the Prince of Wales will pay a visit to South Africa (the only Commonwealth nation he has not yet visited) next year. Arrangements for the trip were made with General Smuts, Premier of the Union of South Africa, during his recent visit to England.
The historic Tower of London, which was thought to be in danger of collapse, was declared safe " for another thousand years" by an expert.
The Yellow Taxi has reached London! The Daily Mail, in an unkind editorial entitled Taxicabs from Chicago--500, All Yellow, said: "There has arrived in London from the United States a man who is seeking to launch on the already congested streets of London 500 Chicago-built taxicabs. He is Mr. Schultz of the company which makes the Yellow cabs that run in the streets of Chicago. Mr. Schultz is to be followed to this country by three specimens of Yellow cabs that from reasons of price offer a big inducement to British buyers."
