ATTACK FROM PULPIT
(Press. Assn.-
EVIL EFFECT ON MORALS OF P.OLITICAL CORRUPTION POLICE AND NEW GUARD
— By felegrMph — Copyrlght).
SYDNEY, Monday. At the Pitt Street Congregational Church the Rev. T. E. Ruth gave an address on "T-he Police arid the New Guard." He asked: If it is the duty of the police to obey the orders of a corrupt Government, what then? Continuing he said: ''The police are all right, but their masters with their warped idea qf justice, their apparent protection of Gommunists," their animosity to loyalists, their Soviet legislation, 'their tin-hare scandals, and their policy of default'and repudiation; these political masters of the police. I say, are all wrong. "The right of criticism is necessary to public morality. Ilt is a common right, and if the police are employed by their masters to destroy it, it must be guarded by others. For months I have been amazed at the supine surrendel- by the citizens of this State to a series of immoral political actions." Mr. Ruth concluded: "There is sufficient manpower in the New Guard, if consecrafed to the cause of Christ and the cause "of the State to save New South Wales."
