there

who,
while

would
follow
any

that
promised

there

In

It

estimated
by
those
who

of
the
Communist
Party
of
Australia
that
Its

has
Increased

In
the

year,
an
Increase
due
to
"favorable"
social

unhappi-ness,
unemployment,
poverty
and
as
these
are
spreading,
so
Communist
opportunities
for

are
enlarging.

to

for
the
elaborate

the

of

Is
not
known
with
certainty.
The
Australian
authorities
act
with:
a
firm
hand
when
Communist
disturbances
occur.
A
typical
example
was
at
Melbourne
recently
when
numerous
raids
were
carried
out
and
prison
terms
imposed.
Melbourne
police
are
determined
to
arrest
every
Communist
possible.
Loaded
batons
and
cartridges
and
much
Russian
propaganda
was
seized
there.
Communists
were
taken
to
the
city
Jail
In
cartloads.
The
police
allege
that
at
the
prei
ent
time
Communists
are
mixing
with
the
unemployed
and
Inciting
them
to
violence.
