17 By contrast, at the Australian peace congress the left-wing of the Labor party and the trade union movement was well represented and the delegation included both federal and state members of parliament. No warnings about Congress were issued by any of the party's office holders. However, it should be stated that the members and supporters of the Catholic Action movement which had organized the anti-communist ALP Industrial Groups had split off from the Labor party after their defeat in a show-down with the left-wing at the federal conference in 1955. After leaving the Labor party they formed a rival party called the Democratic Labor party. The DLP was loud in its condemnation of the peace congress as a communist-run propaganda stunt. Had the DLP remained in the position of power in the ALP that they held prior to 1955, it is very probably that there would have been no Labor party support, official or unofficial, for the peace congress.
