A great career in politics had been predicted for Sir Oswald Mosley, until he

shocked Britain by founding his fascist party just as Hitler was consolidating power in Germany. This proves to be a surprisingly rich hour, though with a certain surrealism. OM: "I've admitted that the other fascist states--I don't think it would have been so true, if I had won here--did ignore liberty and they did great damage. Mussolini had his Lipari Islands and people interned. They did then, in time of peace, what was done to me ... in time of war." ... "Do you really think that flowery speeches like that [Churchill's at Yalta saying that Stalin was "a friend whom we can trust"]... had any effect on a man who had gone the long and dusty road from Siberia to the Kremlin, or that he could be won over by Mr. Churchill drinking his toast? The whole concept was ridiculous, and no wonder clever and able and shrewd American conservatives like Mr. Buckley are alarmed when Mr. Nixon goes to China and has feasts and all the rest of it."
