SEAMEN’S CLUB
OPENED IN SYDNEY EVIDENCE OF COMMUNIST INFLUENCES Sydney, April 20. A club for the use of seamen with the declared object of providing mental and physical food for seamen has been opened. Apparently no funds have been withdrawn from the Seamen's Union for the establishment of the club, which has every indication of being the work of the Third Internationale for the purpose of the dissemination of Soviet propaganda. The principal of the club, who speaks English with a strong foreign accent, states that the Australian Seamen’s Union has officially recognised the club, and significance is attached to the fact that its organiser has been made a member of the Seamen's Union . and allowed Io participate in all meetings. The bookstalls, files, and library of the club abound in Communist. literature, and a large portrait of Lenin occupies a prominent place at the end of the hall.
