SEAMEN S CLUB
SOVIET PROPOGANDA PRINCIPAL’S FOREIGN ACCENT (A. & N.Z.) SYDNEY, April 20. A club for the use of seamen, with the declared object of providing mental and physical food fur seamen, has opened. Apparently no funds have been withdrawn from the Seamen’s Union for the establishment of the club, which has every indication of being the work of the Third International Soviet propaganda. The principal of the club speaks English with a strong foreign accent. He states that the Australian Seamen’s Union will be officially recognised by the club, and significance is attached to the fact that its organiser has been made a member of the Seamen’s Union and allowed to participate at all the meetings. Bookstalls and files in the library of the club abound with Communist literature and a large portrait of Lenin occupies a prominent place at the end of the hall.
