COMMUNISTS DROPPED.
SEAMAN'S LEADER DECIDES
EXTREMISM IN AUSTRALIA. Australian and N.Z. Press Association. LONDON. June 28. The late general president of the National Sailors and Firemen's Union, Mr. J. Havelock Wilson, has published a long letter he has received from the president of the Australian Seamen's Union, Mr. Tom Walsh, written on May 19. The writer renounces Communism and suggests that the International Seamen's Club of Australia is financed by Moscow with the object of destroying Britain's communications with the Dominions.
Mr. Walsh says he refuses to stand by and see the seamen made the tools of the Russians. He urges Mj\ Wilson to counteract the efforts of the latter by opening agencies of the union in Australia. Mr. Wilson says he is gratified by the dropping of the Communists by Mr. Walsh and the fact that he dissociates himself from the militant gang now endeavouring to destroy Australian unionism.
