COMMUNIST OBJECTIVE.
i IN FAVOUR OF PROHIBITION By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received October 22, 11.40 a.m.) SYDNEY, October 22. Mr .T. Howie, leader of the Communist Party, who is also a member of tho executive of the Australian Labour Party, criticising the latter for adapting a. resolution against Communists, said that Labour would probI ably bo returned to power at the next elections, but the workers would bo no better off, as tho leaders would be in the hands of tho capitalistic class. Labour has been financed by the liquor trade j'or tho last five years, but a section of the movement favoured prohibition, and it was a disturbing element for the‘executive. *lTie Communists stood for prohibition, because a sober man was more use to them than a drinker. Mr Garden said that the Oomipunist-s believed in diciplino, hence they would abide by the decision of the Labour executive. but they would take advantage of all channels to permeate the movement with Communistic ideas prior to the next conference.
