Jack Patten publishes first indigenous newspaper, the Australian Abo Call, funded by Nazi sympathizer W.B.Miles, but with Patten maintaining total editorial control. The newspaper gives Patten not only a vehicle through which to publicise the movement's aims, but also a forum for interaction with the APA's growing membership.
