PLACARDS

Vienna, March 20,

Travellers from Bucharest are apt to smile when they tell you about the "War-of-the Placards" which had just ended somewhat abruptly in the Rumanian capital.

They say it is the story behind the Rumanian closure of the Bri- tish Information Ofee in Bucha- rest the week before last. Ap- parently the tealous Information Once erected in their garden, facing a much-frequented street, n display board four feet, by, six feet, posted with pletures of Bil- Lish life. The

Numbrian Communist Party noticed that crowds katiered to look at the pictures, so they dug a hole in the pave ment facing the Information Office and erected their own large circular display board.

When the British improved their placards by flood-lighting- at alght, the Rumanian Com- munist Party replied with still stronger lighting."

When the British put up ple- tures of Royal Air Force planes, the Communists covered! their board with placards of air ambu- lances in the service of mankind.

Migrants meeting union opposition

Sydney, March 20.

Thousands of migrants cannot get jobs in Austra- lia's heavy industry today because of obstruc- tion by employers, unions and Communists. Although bitterly opposed on many issues, the new Liberal Government and the anti-Communist Australian Labour Party, losers in December's ' election, are united in seeking medicine to cure a growing industrial stomach ache. The Government says it will the Sydney "Morning Herald" soon introduce legislation-in charged. the teeth of a hostile Senate-- to outlaw the Communist Party, compe! secret union ballots and remove known Communists from 'union offices.

Labour Bays it will fight such interference in union affairs and believes it is a mistake to autlaw the Communist Party. It thinks Communists can best be fought in the open and that pressure to eliminate them from labour must come from unlonists themselves.
