But how cute! What are we worried about? and do the wil soon be very wist sundet uP and down. It will soon be very well funded -£1½ million legacy is about to arrive - and it is gaining new members at the rate of I50 a week. It has groups all over Britain, two journals, and picks up the votes in South London local council elections as adeptly as does the neo-nazi West German party. Its policy director, A.K. Chesterton (nephew of the late G.K.), Was d leading spokesman for Mosley's British Union of Fascists - a purifying force which would cleanse democratic policies from corruption and was once offered a job by the Nazis. Another director of the Front. Admiral Sir Barry Domville, was a close friend of Himmler's and was confined in Brixton jail as a security risk in 1939. And it is not just that the National Front has attracted many leading fascists to its ranks. Its publications are full of the irrational hysteria of racism and the desire to pin everything on to a gigantic world conspiracy.

Two members of the National Directorate, to whom your reporter spoke, vehementlv Be of Candour ('read Frontman Martin Webst attacked times, Oppenheimer Rufus Isaacs and Kuhn Loeb once each. Recent issues of Candour and Spearhead speak of the "international financial (i.e. Jewish) revolutionary conspiracy which was behind the Communist Revolution in Russia." In this twilight of political thought, communism and Jewish finance presently rival each other for control of the world.

For the National Front, the state of the world is certainly shocking, and the pages of its Journals sound the alarm. Developments of the last six months have been quite fantastic... Moral subversion, subversion among the youth tratic in drues the massively increasing pornographic literature aimed at distorting the culture of people . we see evil mounting as never before in our lives.' To combat this evil, the Front has set out its policy in different spheres.

ECONOMICS.

There is no coherent economic analysis in the National Front's literature. It speaks only of establishing a British 'world system' which will include the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Rhodesia, and, if they so wish, the republics of South Africa and Eire This world system will be quite self-sufficient: and if at first it is not, a strong military force will make sure it soon is. Activities director Martin Webster claims that the present defence budget is chicken feed. "If you are properly exploiting the opportunities of military presence, the money is well spent'. He denies that exploitation is really involved: people ask for protection and you get trade preferences in eturn'. His ideas must be seen as part of th action to the Great Conspiracy of which th Front is so fond. Since Yalta, Webster has put it, the principal aim of America and Russia has •been the destruction of British world power. International finance Jews, Russians, Europeans, and Wall Street must be destroyed, when the Anglo-Saxon race will be free to run its own system.

Domestic economic policy is left equally vague. Once Britain is racially pure and free. most problems will evaporate. Industrial disputes will be referred te *a labour court enjoying the same status as Her Majesty's other courts. Councils of management and labour will ensure that no sectional interest is able to operate to the harm of other sectional Interest or to the detriment of the nation as a whole'. It might all have been culled from Harold Wilson's last speech.

Will there then be no unemployment problem wHen Britain is pure white and unsullied? To this question, Martin Webster replied that people of a civilisation should be prepared to do their own dirty work. There is a hard core of white scum who should do these jobs, they should be pressed into work if they refuse to get jobs (that is, are unemployed for more than three months). These people need a good kick up the arse. We don't intend to tolerate idlers of our own race.

RACE The National Front presents its racism benevolent terms. 'Many immigrants dislike the British climate'; "It is important for all races to keep their unique contributions to civilisation' (to be exercised only after being sent back to their homes). "The British people have a will to rule which stamps them a superior nation, Webster suggests, hastily adding: This is not value judgment. black people have beachcomber attitude to life. They need to be led by the hand. Party policy would redirect the £200 millions now given in aid to despotic cannibal kingdoms' to providing immigrants in Britain with a one-way ticket for home: their "humane and orderly repatriation softened by a £100 resettlement handshake - would be taken in hand.

WELKS trial offer lor 5s from Just in case any of the membership should be disappointed by this mealy-mouthed stuff, the literature is riddled with hysterical diatribes on the subject of race. 'Anglo Saxon and Celtic peoples must not be turned into a teeming mulatto mob'. Spearhead specialises in reporting immigrant crimes - polygamy, rape, murder, and the mistakes made by 'overseas doctors and nurses' All this is backed up with a farrago of theory. Martin Webster told your reporter that "there are congenital differences between black and white. It's not just a paint job'. Statistics are culled from 'research' to show that black IQ ratings lower Chal among comparable whites. And Spearhead, adding up the costs of the immigrants to the national exchequer, comes up with a f40 million pound bill. One item: £10 million 'drained from our economy through illegal currency rackets. Somehow, a urther £60 million appears, to give a grand i neaningless total of £100 million. It would b possible in the space of two years to repatriate two million immigrants from Britain for much less than the sum above'. Sweet dreams! But as Martin Webster ruefully admitted, I suppose you can't send them back to Jamaica on the first banana boat'.

DECAY The policy of the National Front not only faces up to the problems of Economics and Race, it deals also with the subject of national decay.

The emphasis is on a 'healthy and moral' Britain, and consequently NF publications print attacks on the 'liberal' prison parole system, 'communist "inadequate' prison sentences, "the left wing prelates who run the Church', the BBC (in our last issue we drew attention to Curran's self-confessed Marxist background), and the state of British culture (evidence of planned political manipulation originators of modern anarchist arone. can be seen exponents and A WARNING The National Front is a movement frightened and self-righteous people. In an age when nationalism is declared redundant both by the internationalism of the Left and the internationalism of the giant capitalist corporations, the NF has nothing to cling but Louis Mountbatten's TV recollections. But its emotional appeal is strong. It reaps the unrest in industry and the universities; and profits from the frustrations of workers, shopkeepers, and all those beset by the problems of living under a declining imperialist power.

Hitler wrote: National Socialism undertakes to defend as a waole against the individual, when and wherever his interests are not in harmony with the common weal'. The National Front now proclaims: 'New men and women, utterly dedicated to the British Cause are essential if the rot is to be stopped. That is why we invite you to give your most serious attention to the National Front, a new political movement which has only one overriding purpose - to put Britain first You have been warned.
