The 72-point 2-line headline of this handout/broadside screams "Grave Folly of/Pro-Czech Policy" under which is "Mr. Eden’s Secret Influence".
The author asks why "Mr.Chamberlain's Government is taking an attitude hostile to Germany?" The answers of course rests in his government being backed by "Zionists, Fabian-Socialists and "pacifist" League of Nation enthusiasts
The Militant Christian Patriots (MCP) was a London-based pro-nazi fascist organization, and at the time of the printing of this broadside the Chamerblain government had not yet taken its final position on the fate of Czechoslovakia. "Britain’s attitude towards the Czecho-Slovakian dispute is a serious blunder" the MCP Felt. The MCP position was that the annexation of Czecholsovakia by Germany would not affect British interests "in the slightest", and that the Chamberlain government was adopting a "hostile attitude" towards Germany. They saw Anthony Eden’s "stand up to dictators" to be "stand up for Bolshevism", and that Eden’s supporters were "pacifists, Socialists, Communists and Zionists".
Among the member of the Militant Christian Patriots (and another like-minded group, Liberty Restoration League) were a number of industrialists, MPs, and society figures, including the Duke of Wellington, Lord Brocket, Lady Dunn, Lady Douglas-Hamilton, Alexandra Hardinge, Sir Abe Bailey's son, Lord Carnock, Sir William Holdsworth,
Sir George MacMunn, Sir Michael O'Dwyer, Sir Louis Stuart, and Commander Bowles, MP, and many others.
