THREAT TO CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOP
INTENTION OF BOMBING SYDNEY CATHEDRAL SYDNEY, February 10. A police guard has been placed at St. Mary’s Cathedral as a result of a threat to bomb it. The threat was made to the Archbishop of Sydney (Dr M Kelly) in an anonymous letter which stated that the bombing was to be a reprisal for the bomb outrages in Britain. The writer declared that his intended action was directed against the Irish people. Although the police are inclined to believe that the letter was sent by an irresponsible person, they have adopted very extensive precautions. All wireless patrols and police cars have been ordered to keep the cathedral under surveillance.
