COMMUNISTS’ ACTIVE
COUNTER-MOVE TO ANZAC Reed. 10.32 a.m. SYDNEY, Today. Communists were busy during the Anzac Day observances. A large force of police was sent to Cessnock when it was learned that the Reds had arranged to hold a counter Anzac demonstration. Returned men from Kurri and Weston rushed to Cessnock to reinforce a procession of Anzacs, fearing the Communists might make a hostile demonstration. Permission was refused the Communists to hold a procession, so they adjourned to a vacant allotment anil a man, said to be a New Zealander, began an address. He was soon arrested and the police later broke up a meeting in Sydney. Pamphlets were distributed stating that Anzac Day served as a means to revive afresh the ideology of British. Imperialism, and to incite the masses with the war fever. Forty spectators, fnostly women, were overcome in the dense throng i*i Melbourne and fainted.
