SILENT SEDITIONISTS DISILLUSIONED
MR HOLMAN EXPLAINS. Sydney March 3. Mr W, A. Holman, speaking at Turramurra last night, referred to the effect of tho Federal Government’s amendments to tho Crimes Act. It was a remarkable fact, he said, that since the. passing of that legislation, certain gentlemen who had used seditious utterances lo further their ambitions io attain to high places had been strangely silent. It might be thought that they, having reached their goal, desired to remain there in peace and quietness. That might be so, but it was far more likely that these people had in mind the numerous deportations that had taken place in recent months. It was undoubtedly the knowledge that tho Federal Government would act similarly in their case, should necessity arise, that had induced them to hold their peace, for fear that they themselves might be cast back on their unsympathetic, native shores.
