White Ants Underground
White Ants Underground
"Mr McIntyre's Monthly Magazine" said Mr. Searle, says that there is no use in driving communists underground to do their work. He agreed, while Mr. M. O'Brien thought that we could not ask another country's Government to do anything at all—we were quite without right in so acting, and we should make ourselves look the "biggest fools ever."
Mr. Bollinger pointed out that, while Canada had been in this dire plight four years ago, she hadn't yet needed an anti-Communist Bill! The family tree of the O'Briens was investigated when Mr. Jenkins asked how to address or refer to the Vice-President—Secondus? he asked. But Secundus was out, and Tertius (as the chairman informed us) was Tertia—and neither Quartus nor Quintus stopped Mr. Jenkins from getting to the dire comment on Sextus.
This is not, Mr. Phillipps assures us, a bolt out of the Australian blue; we expected a reference to the reds white-anting Australian society.. to make it thoroughly patriotic.
