BAN ON COMMUNISTS
NEW GUARD’S ULTIMATUM. CLEARANCE IN FOUR MONTHS. (Received 11 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Addressing a great crowd at Rockdale, Colonel Campbell, the leader, said that the New Guard was determined that every Communist must be out of Australia within four months. NeW South Wales today was virtually under “Red” control, he said. “Our elected representatives,” he added, “consciously or ' unconsciously, hre making the Communists’ task easier by their Soviet legislation. “It is quite constitutional for the Governor to dissolve Parliament, and the New Guard is at present considering the advisability of organising to this end. . The Government must declare Communism an offence punishable by deportation. “If the Government is so blind as to refuse this request, we must carefully consider whether or not it is our duty to put these people but ourselves.”
Because of threats of violence, Colonel Campbell and members of his family have bodyguards. It is stated in political Labour circles that the Government has referred the recent public utterances of a number of prominent members of the New Guard tof the Crown Law Department for ani opinion as to whether any breach of the law had been committed.
