Performance Notes"LORD MELCHETT ON SIR O MOSELEY
"A SECONDHAND HITLER"
Lord Melchett, addressing 3,000 Jewish ex-Servicemen in the Albert Hall, London, last night, replied to the attack on the Jews made by Sir Oswald Mosley in the same hall just a week before.
"This secondhand Hitler," declared Lord Melchett, "made a violent attack on our people in this hall last Sunday. I might honour a genuine anti-Semite, but I do not like a sham one. Sir Oswald might reflect that in Germany his own citizenship would be denied the rights of citizenship because they had a Jewish grandparent..."
