SOVIET CAPTAIN COOK.
DISCOVERY OF AUSTRALIA.
PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN. APPEAL FOR A "LOAN." (By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 10 a.m.) LONDON, December 13. Some Soviet Captain Cook has discovered Australia, and the next mail boat carries a load of Bolshevik propaganda for a million dollar loan for Russia. The Commonwealth was overlooked until the last moment. Mr. McLaine, a member of the Workers' International Russian Belief Committee, states that tho Soviet is disseminating propaganda in all Eng-lish-speaking countries. By a strange mishap Australia was overlooked, and was only discovered to-da\". He added: 'I am afraid we have been rather provincial, paying too much attention to England and forgetting the Dominions, but now that we have discovered our mistake we intend to pay much more attention to Australia, and we confidently expect the Labourites of Australia generously to contribute. "Regarding New Zealand we recently received £600 for the famine relief from them, and we propose to do all possible to further cement such relationship. England's allocation of the loan is £"20.000."—(United Service.)
