the growth of Sinn Feinism in Austraiia. He declares the Roman Catholic irish politically is the best organised and most united section of the com- . munity, and through a working alliance with the Labourites; has become la. powerful factor in Federal‘ and State politics. It has also acquired great influence over the Ausatralian Press, though :1 few of the ‘Fédding papers venture to speak of the danger to the Empire which an organised Irish vote involves. Even statesmen do not desire to» say; in public what they say privately of the movement. Some newspapers during the election stirred out of reticencc, spoke frankly‘ of the menace.
