Judging by w4iat happened then, I think we may fairly conclude that, if these people had to take sides to -morrow between Russia on the one side and America and England and Aus.ralia on the other, they would run true to form and be found on the side of the Russians.

"I see the Federal and State Governments are being urged to put a ban upon certain subversive sections of the community," added His Grace. "If the ban be imposed, I hope it will be more effective than a similar ban was some years ago. Circumstances certainly call for any action that the Government can make effective, and perhaps a ban is worth a trial. If it is imposed, all sane people will wish it success. But no matter what Governments may do, I feel that the fight against these revolutionaries in our midst must ultimately be in the industrial unions. I ihm greatly disappointed with some of the industrial unions. Some of them, of course, to their credit, have done everything that could be expected of them. But other important unions have allowed an insignificant number of alien -inspired revolutionaries to take control of their unions and terrorise the whole of Australia. Hibernians and others belonging to unions should, instead of taking their ease in their homes or going to the pictures or the races, attend their union meetings and use their voting power to defeat the disruptionists .no save Australia as well as the orthodox Labour movement.
