STILL WATCHING COMMUNISTS
BRITISH GOVERNMENT ASSURANCE (Rec. 10.0 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 17. The British Government is still carefully watching the activities of Communists trying to disrupt the country’s essential services, the Labour Minister, Mr George Isaacs, told Parliament to-day. He was replying to questions about the recently-formed Communist subversive organisation which he warned the country last month aimed at hampering Britain’s defence preparations by organising unofficial strikes. Mr Bernard Brain (Conservative) asserted that trade unionists did not believe that such an organisation existed. They thought the Government was using the Communists as a scapegoat, he said. On the other hand, the general public thought the organisation did exist, and that the Government lacked the will to deal with it.
