“IMPORTED ISMS” ATTACKED
MR CHIFLEY SPEAKS TO CONFERENCE MELBOURNE, March 29. Australia could solve her own problems without importing foreign political philosophies, said the Prime Minister (Mr Chifley) in an address to the conference of the Victorian branch of the Australian Labour Party. “There are people who try to import into Australia and into the Labour movement ‘isms’ which they would impose upon us all,” added Mr Chifley. “There is no democracy in the use of the bludgeon and machine-gun, and the Labour movement won’t tolerate them. We don’t want Labour associated with any of the ‘isms’ that overwhelm Europe, first Fascism and now Communism,” he said.
