IVTARC T. GREENE, American news paper correspondent, writing re cently from Marseilles says: I should be glad to be quoted in your magazine as agreeing most heartily with your comments (October issue) on the actions of the Australian Seamen’s Union, and as expressing my admiration of your courageous criticism of an ini quitous situation.
When I first visited Australia 11 years ago it was at the time of a strike which had tied up some thirty overseas ships in Sydney harbour and was causing untold losses to all sorts of interests. I ob served there something of the work of the stupid, bullying, ignorant Australian labour leaders, especially the leaders of the maritime workers.
I have observed more of it many times since then, and apparently it is still going on. That being the case, your suggestion as to the measures suitable to be taken with the type of human being who most resembles that despised of all animals, the hyena, is sound and pertinent.
