MOSCOW DOCTRINES

ADOPTION IN BRISBANE

STORM IN LABOUR CIRCLES.

(UNITED PSMS ASSOCIATION COPTRISHI.)

>YDNEY, 28th May.

A storm of protest has been caused amongst New South Wales Labour leagues and unions by the adoption by the inter-State Labour Conference at Brisbane of the doctrines of the Moscow Internationale, in place of "White Australia," in the Australian Labour Party objective, and the action will be the subject of a contest at the annual conference on next Saturday. A strong section has developed which is 'Outspoken in its resentment of the attitude of the Brisbane Conference in removing all traces of the Australian sentiment from Labour's objective. The proceedings at the coming conference will decide the fate of .Socialism. If the conference ratifies the new objective framed at the' Brisbane Convention, it will, in the opinion of many delegates, be* useless .to discuss the greater portion of the business submitted by leagues and unions, as most of the motions are quite inconsistent with a sSheme for ..the control'of industry by a supreme economic council, which is the corollai'y. of the new objective. The business paper •clearly indicates'that, as explained in-a 'statement. issued by the Australian Labour'Party, the rank and'file have not be^n organised to the point of understanding the propositions, and socialisation is an uncornprehended objective.
