FACTIONS IN AUSTRALIA

HEAVY LEAGUE ENROLMENTS OPPOSITION ALLEGES FASCIST ORGANISATION IDEALS OF MOVEMENT CATCH POPULAR FANCY SYDNEY, March 22. \ W eck of alarms see the Scullin Government still in possession of the Canberra citadel, and the coming .days promise a lively incursion by the Prime Minister with the camp oi troublesome left wingers, whose recalcitrancy has precipitated Cabinet’s difficulties. The Federal Labour Conference meets at Sydney next Friday, which Mr Scullin ui ' a!'-ml as Victorian delegate. The Australian Workers’ Union decision to accept the conference resolutions as binding on all Labour Party supporters is causing concern to the Beasley faction or left-wing section of the Federal Parliamentary Labourites representing New South' Wales, whose adhesion to the Lang plan led to their expulsion from the political Lden. Ibe position is reminiscent of the Seale-Conroy faction tight a few yeais ago when the Federal Conference upheld the Conroyites but the Seale followers, who supported Mr Lang, triumphed, and the Conroy faction was wiped out. Mr Theodore now opposes Mr Lang, whose followers are likely to find him a more astute and more redoubtable adversary than the Conroyites were. Moreover, Mr Theodore, as the campaign director of the recent elections, has a good grip of the New South Wales position and an inside knowledge of the working of the party machine.

Mr Beasley’s followers are most bitter towards Mr Scullin, and fear that bis presence at the conference will be fatal to their aims. Therefore it is believed that the State A.L.P. executive may decide to boycott the proceedings. In the meantime, the ideal of the “All For Australia’ League to re-establish Parliament as a truly deliberative assembly, has caught the popular fancy, according to the organisers, who claim that 30.000 members have been enrolled in five days, and an objective of 100,000 is expected to be reached very soon. The League spokesman asserts that the co u ntry’s prosperity can only be re-established by setting aside personal and political interests and abolishing the party system. Labour politicians, taking alarm, have urged the suppression of the League as an allegedly Fascist organisation. While denying the latter impeachment, the League leaders declare that any attempt to suppress it will be futile.
