SIDNEY, July 10th. About 300 members of the N.S. W. Constitutional Association yesterday listened to Mr. Thomas Walsh, ex- general president of the Seamen's Union, who stated his views on the stabilising of industry on sea and
land.
I want frst to say my ideas and nspirations are not changed," said 3. Walsh. "I believe in the Labour movement as I did in the Con- past: I helped to build it. ditions have changed profoundly. When I was young the employer who regarded his workers as human beings and his own part in industry as anything more than an opportu nity to make profits and enrich himself was very rare: anything else was considered maudlin and ridiculous. Now, any other view but the ong that the workers are co-partners in industry and entitled to the best that can be secured for them is an anachronism; hence the desire for a better understanding between employer and employee hence the solemn duty of both sides to promulgate the doctrine of in- dustrial peace and foster it in every way. (Hear, hear.)
The LW.W. ideal or mass con trol about which the Communists still talk, though they know quite well that it is no part of their scheme, has long ago been aban doned in Russia, and would mean retrogression and
have been forced reluctantly to a recognition of this fact, not only he my knowledge of what has occurred in Russia, where production fell under the mass control system until industry and agriculture and the whole national life collapsed so tragically, but by my own experi-

guage and so the German private undertakings. So terrible has been the plight of the Soviet Govern-" ment, with a desperate need for a Red Army to keep them in office, and with only a starving population to wring taxes from, that they have handed over to the hated enpitalists of America, Japan, France, and Germany the richest of their mines, oilfields, and timber resources in return for a share in the production.
"If anyone says, this is the queerest kind of socialism he ever heard of he is told that it is only the transition period,' but the leases are granted for terms of one hundred years. It has also been pointed out that Russia has her share of waifs, beggars, and un- employed and starving people. The answer to this is: We are in the transitional period, and must be prepared to accept it..
Russia's Ruling Class.
The ruling class in Russia is the Communist militant.
He is not educated, not cultured, moral, or enlightened; he need not be even decent or sober. The only virtue required is that he be diligent in. xpying out rebels, he class con- scious. and intolerent of any ideas
or beliefs but his own. When we think of women and girls under Russian domination, afraid to com- plain of the almighty Reds," who dominate everything, the picture is far from a pleasant one. Now, we might suppose, did we not know differently, that the Russian Com- munists who watched their helpless fellow countrymen dying in millions through the lamine, and having got on their hands a country in econo- mic extremis, would have their confidence somewhat dashed-but not so the Commanists. They send their agents far and wide, to aprend the same ruin wherever they can. Every trade unionist, even in Aus, tralia, feels the effects of their no- tivities.
