Communists in Key Posts of Australia’s Big Unions
SYDNEY, April 2. Mr. A. W. Fadden, F'ederal Leader of the Country Party, at the annual conference of the Party, suggested that those Communists in Australia who came from overseas, should be sent to countries where they could get “a taste of their theories in action.” He claimed that the Labour Partv had been caught in a dilemma of its own 1 making, by its attempts to appease Communists and near-Gommunists so as to retain political support which the Left Wing had always given Labour. The result had been that the Communists had become bolder, infiltrated into the Public Service, gained control of key union posts, arid caused untold industrial disruption. Country Party members have informed the Prime Minister (Mr. J. E. Chifiev) that exports valued at £52,000,000 have been tied up because of the waterfront strike, and have asked him to take definite action.
