SANE LABOUR
OPPOSED TO COMMUNISTS AUCKLAND, This Day. “Any fighting in Australia will be verbal fighting,” said a New Zealander, Mr Long who has been resident in Sydney, in commenting on recent Sydney cables. He expressed the utmost confidence that sane Labour would have the final say, and sane Labour supporters had too much property to encourage the Communistic faction. Most of the talk of armed forces referred to the Communists, and some months ago it was rumoured that a large number of the Defence Department rifles had been stolen, but that had been denied by the Government. The number of militant Communists was by comparison very small and would be easily overpowered by the police when the police chose to break up their demonstrations.
