POLICE AND NEW GUARD
RIGHTS. OF PUBLIC
(Eeceived 18(h April, 11 a.m.)
. SYDNEY, This Day. At the Pitt Street Congregational Church the Bey. T. E. Euth gave -an address on "The Police and the New Guard." He asked, if it was the duty of the police to obey the orders of a corrupt Government, what then! "The police/ he said, "are all right, but their masters, with, their warped idea of justice, their apparent protection of Communists, their animosity, to loyalists, their Soviet legislation, their tin hare scandals, and their policy of -default and repudiation—these political masters of the police, I say, are all wrong."
The right of criticism was necessary to public morality. It was a common right, and if the police were employed by their masters to destroy it, it must be guarded by others. "For months,' 1 he said, "I have been amazed at the supine surrender by citizens of this State to a seri.es of immoral political actions." Mr. Euth concluded: "There is sufficient man-power in the New Guard, if consecrated to the cause of Christ and the cause of the State, to save New South Wales."
