The evidence pointed to a wave of unrest going to surge throughout the Commonwealth. He warned the Government that the fight would not bo a peaceful one. He feared that what had happened in other countries would -happen here. On the other hand a big section of the unionists oppose a general strike. The majority of the unions are short of funds and an upheaval would be disastrous.
