Overseas League As Answer to Communism
P.A. AUCKLAND, April 9. “At Home the Communists are making a dead set at the young people, particularly through clubs. We feel if we can get the youngsters interested in ‘our show’ we will be doing a good deal to combat Communist influence.” Air Vice-Marshal Malcolm Henderson, Director-General ot the Overseas League, said this to-day when he and Commander D. C. Kinloch, the League’s development secretary, were welcomed at a civic reception. Communism had become a dreadful canker, eating into the Empire, Air Vice-Marshal Henderson declared. He believed the League, with its 262 branches and 58,000 members, could provide the answer. “To preserve our natioi«il way of life.” said the Mayor, Mr. J. A, C. Allum, welcoming the visitors, “we must see that all influences aiming at the undermining and disintegration of the British Empire are rooted out.”
