REDS’ CLUB IN SYDNEY
SPREADING SOVIET PROPAGANDA LENIN PORTRAIT PROMINENT (United F. A.—By Telegraph — Copyright.) Reed. 9.35 a.m. SYDNEY, To-day. A club for the use of seamen, with the declared object of providing them with mental and physical food, has opened. Apparently no funds have been withdrawn from the Seamen’s Union for the establishment of the club, which has every indication of being the work of the Third International, for the purpose of the dissemination of Soviet propaganda. The principal of the club speaks English with a strong foreign accent. He states that the Australian Seamen’s Union will be officially recognised in the club, and significance is attached to the fact that its organiser has been made a member of the Seamen’s Union and allowed to participate at all meetings. The bookstalls and files in the library of the club abound with Communist literature, and a large portrait of Lenin occupies a prominent | tilace at the end of the halt!
