COMMUNIST PLOT
MARCH ON OTTAWA MEASURES TO PREVENT OTTAWA, June 24 Faced with a threat by 2000 relief camp deserters to invade Ottawa on freight trains, in spite of the Government's prohibition, the Prime Minister, Mr. R. B. Bennett, to-day appealed to all Canadians to realise that the Dominion was challenged by a well-organ-ised Communist plot.

The leader, Arthur Evans, to-day announced that he was a Communist and proud of it.
