COMMUNISTS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL ORGANISATION
Received Tuesday, 0 p.m. CANBERRA, July 2. Tn opening the Country Farty's electiou campaign, llie party leader, Xlr. Fiidden, attacked tlie Government for giving tlie Communists lieence to disrupt industry and said his party would deciare tlie Uoiumunists an illegal organisation. He said that one means et' meeting the present industrial situation was to deciare vacant the executive oiiices in Communist dominated unions. An imniediate election should tlien be liehl to fill the vacancies ac cording to universal code rules to be detined by legislation. That would ensure the couipulsol'y exercise of tlie secret ballot by every member entitled to vote. The Country Party stood solidly for declaring the Communist Party an illegal organisation. Both the Labour and Liberal Parties have announced anti-Communist measures but neither wislies to have the Communists declared illegal beeause of tlie fear such action would merely be to drive the movement underground.
