COMMUNISTS BUSY
ACTIVITY IN THE NAVY SEDITIOUS LITERATURE DISTRIBUTED.. Received March 26, 8.20 p.m. (Sun Cable) LONDON, March 26. The Communists are again trying to capture support in the navy. They have recently succeeded in distributing large quantities of seditious literature at both ship and shore establishments.
The Daily Mail says 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 on the Admiralty. It is suggested, for instance, that special pay should be claimed for ceremonial parades. One pamphlet, according to the Daily News, idealises the naval conditions which may exist under a Communist regime and another urges the formation of naval trades unions.
The police and naval authorities arc taking action to prevent the further dissemination of such literature.
