CONTROL OF BANKS
“DELIGHT FOR COMMUNISTS” COMMENT BY ROMAN CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOP MELBOURNE, Sept. 29. The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne, the Most Rev. Dr Daniel Mannix, stated that he was sure that the Communists would be delighted if the Bill to nationalise banks was passed Communists ever get control of this country it will not matter in the least whether there are banks or only one bank, as Australia will be down and out,” he said. “Some people are talking a great deal about the attitude of the Pope and of the bishops of Australia, but neither the Pope nor the bishops as a body has as yet said anything for or against the proposed legislation. It is for those behind the legislation to show the desirability or necessity for it if they can.”. ■'
