Sir J. D. REESasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that the Bolshevist organisations are spending upwards of £20,000 a month in propagating their doctrines in this country; and whether any means can be devised of preventing their activities and seizing their offices, printing presses, etc., in Cardiff and expelling them from the United Kingdom?
§ Sir J. BAIRDCommunist organisations are spending considerable sums of money in salaries, printing, and the hire of halls, of which some is known to come from abroad. The most active members of the organisation are British subjects, and cannot be expelled. Their activities do not pass unnoticed, and there have been prosecutions for flagrant offences; but in the present state of the law a considerable latitude is necessarily allowed to propagandists.
