' “In dealing with Communists our first thought was to declare the Communist party a subversive organisation, but on further consideration we have decided that that is not the best approach to the problem. We think that the«power and influence of Communists will be reduced if steps are taken to ensure that union officials are elected by secret ballot at properly supervised elections.
