LABOUR AND FREEMASONS.
London, January 12,
English Freemasons are directing attention to the Danish Labour Cabinet’s decision, forbidding officers of the army and navy to join certain societies, including the Freemasons. This may affect King Christian, who, presumably, is a Freemason, and is also Lord High Admiral.
They surmise that the ban may be the result of the British Labour extremists’ attempt in 1923 to ban English Freemasonry, because the Masonic bond was likely to enable the settlement or limitation of strikes. The Evening News points out that many leading trade unionists belong to Freemasonry, which is thorughly non-political, loyal and constitutional in which respects it resembles Danish Freemasonry, but differs from the subversive Continental organisations passing as Masonic crafts, similar to those which Signor Mussolini banned.
