Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: South Africa - Protest. DESCRIPTION: Our pictures show an orderly meeting in Trafalgar Square in protest against the shootings in South Africa. Previous demonstrations had led to trouble outside South Africa House, so special precautions were taken now. On this occasion, there was trouble, but only after the big rally was over: a clash between demonstrators and supporters of Sir Oswald Mosley. Half a dozen arrests were made.
