Conservatism, the Right Wing, and the Far Right: A Guide to Archives. Archie Henderson

included writer Percy Reginald Stephensen and William John Miles, a Sydney businessman. Over a six-year partnership they attracted the wholehearted opposition of the Labor left and the tolerance of the right due only to their strong anti-Communism. The movement was attributed with a growing sympathy towards the German, Italian and Japanese governments. Between 1936 and 1942 the movement published 16 volumes of a newsletter titled The Publicist. This publication stated that its aim was to 'arouse in Australians a positive feeling, a distinctive Australian patriotism of a thoroughly realistic kind'. Its leaders and some of its members were secretly interned in March 1942. Their internment was based on the suspicion that the movement might attempt to provide help to Japanese invaders.

      [0213] Australian League of Rights Collection

      Location: Karl Schmude Special Collections Room, Dixson Library, University Library, University of New England, Armidale, NSW, 2351, Australia

      Description: The Australian League of Rights is a right-wing movement based on the theory of Social Credit as espoused by the English engineer and economic theorist C. H. Douglas (1879-1952). Eventually, Douglas concluded that the main obstacle to the success of Social Credit was a world-wide Jewish conspiracy, in which Freemasons, International Finance, Communists and Nazis colluded to destroy Christian civilisation. Founded in the 1960s by the late Eric Butler (1916-2006), the ALR is still one of the more influential far right wing movements in Australia. The collection consists of magazines, pamphlets, books, audio cassettes, videos and other often elusive and ephemeral League publications.
