COMMUNISM IN BRITAIN
THE PARTY’S ACTIVITIES. AN INSIDIOUS PROPAGANDA. Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, October 21.. Mr W. C. Bridgeman (ex-Cabinot Minister), speaking at Newcastle, said that the Communists, who were not a large but were a very active body, were flooding Britain with propaganda. Their policy for undermining Britain and all civilised countries was carefully dictated from Moscow and also partly from Berlin. Mr Bridgeman described the Labour Party as the embodiment of reaction and stagnation. Its thinking was done by Russian Bolshevists, German junkers, and Irish Republicans. The Duke of Northumberland, who presided, made reference to Mr Philip Snowden’s picture of Britain before the capitalist took it to its present state, and said: “Why not go hack to the anthropoid apes—back to the tree-top, which is still suitable for some of the would-be leaders?” —Sydney Sun Cable.
