An Australian Nazi party is emerging here which uses the swastika as its symbol, attacks “Jewish control of international finance” and circulates Arab propaganda material against Israel.
The leader of the group, which calls itself the Australian National Socialist Party, is 26-year-old Edward Cawthron, a research worker at the National University of Australia, who claims that “the basic philosophy of national socialism can be applied to any country at any time.” He says his party will win a large membership and achieve political power in Australia. Like home-grown Nazis in other countries, Cawthron ridicules the figures given of Jews murdered in Nazi concentration camps. In a party journal which he edits, he attacks “the Jews on the New York Stock Exchange” the Australian Labor Party and “the Communists.”
