INTRIGUE CHECKED
COMMUNIST ACTIVITY • ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE NAVY SEDITIOUS LITERATURE DISTRIBUTED (By Telegraph—Press Assn —Copyright.) (Rec. 8.4 p.m.) London, March 24. Communists are again trying to capture the Navy. They recently succeeded in distributing large quantities of seditious literature at both ship and shore establishments. The Daily Mail says that the Communists’ object is to influence delegates at the lower deck welfare conference which meets at Chatham in April and induce them to make extravagant demands to the Admiralty suggesting, for instance, that special pay should be claimed for ceremonial parades. One pamphlet, according to the Daily News, idealizes the naval conditions which may exist under Communist regime. Another urges the formation of a naval trades union. The police and naval authorities are taking action to prevent further dissemination.—A. and N.Z.
