NOISY BOLSHIES
LABOUR MAN’S OPINION. (Special to “Star.”) CHRISTCHURCH, March 25. “Just as here, there are in Australia little groups of Bolshevists who make a big noise, with nothing in it. Of course, the newspapers make the most of it.” The speaker was Mr W. J. Green, secretary of the Canterbury Trades'and Labour Council, who returned to Christchurch to-day from a holiday visit to Australia, and who was asked by a reporter what was the strength of Bolshevism in Australia. Mr Green explained that his visit to Australia was not on business connected with the Labour -Party but purely a holiday one. Nevertheless, he had come in contact with those interested in the Labour movement in Australia. He found that the Labour Party in New South Wales and Vic-j toria, and especially in Victoria, was very hopeful. The people he mixed with, and those he met, voted for Labour as a matter of course. They were absolutely disgusted with the Nationalist crowd in Victoria. The industrial and political wings of the Labour Party were working in much better harmony.
