Hill, E. F. (Edward Fowler)

Defeat Menzies' fascist bill / by E.F. Hill. (Melbourne : [Communist Party of Australia, 1950])

Ted Hill was a Communist barrister. He had joined the Party in 1936 and was the Victorian Secretary from 1948 to 1962. He was expelled in 1963 and formed the Communist Party of Australia (Marxist-Leninist), a Maoist group.

His pamphlet is an attack on Menzies, comparing him to Hitler. He calls upon the Australian people to rise up against their government.

A united people can rapidly destroy the Menzies and the Faddens and their American masters - a united people can defend the peace - can defend democracy - living standards. ...

No people's movement has ever been successfully suppressed; the Communist Party can never be suppressed. This very Bill, sponsored by Mr. Menzies, the greatest enemy Australia ever had, has aroused greater and greater interest in Communism - more and more people are thinking about it. (p. 8)
