A Denial

Mr. James Anthony, secretary of Fiji’s Wholesale and Retail Workers’ General Union, who was criticised by Chief Justice Lowe for his part in the Suva riots (PIM, May, p. 18), denied at a public meeting in May that he had knowingly associated with criminals, or that he was a Communist or a Communist sympathiser.

He said nevertheless author ities would not hesitate to use the charge as a red herring and say, “This man is a Red. He is dangerous”.
