RHODESIAN AGITATION
New Zealander Detained (8.0.W.), RUGBY, October 5. The Colonial Office states that, because certain elements on the copper belt have been deliberately fomenting subversive agitation against the war effort in the past few months, the Government of Northern Rhodesia has detained three of the individuals concerned. The Governor, Sir John Waddington, has appealed to officials of the Mine Workers’ Union to use their influence to prevent any disorders, intimating that the Government was fully resolved to take all the necessary steps to maintain law and order. The Daily Express says the three alleged agitators detained are tire New Zealand-born F. S. Maybank, who is general secretary of the Rhodesian Mine Workers’ Union, C. S. Maeyer, vicechairman of the union branch, and J. P. Theynissen, a mine worker. Maybank went to the mines in 1939 and participated in the Europeans’ strike in 1940.
