MR. P. C. WEBB'S CASE.

Editor, "The Maoriland Worker," —The following extract from the "Wanganui Herald" may interest your readers: "Mr. G. S. Thomson writes ua commending the action of the member for Grey for the courage of his convictions by refusing to don khaki uniform. Our own conviction is that any man who is not prepared i.o assist in the defence of his country and the cause of freedom has no claim to consideration, and should take immediate steps to seek that country where conditions are more in accord with his views." Now, I did not say in words whether I commended Comrade Webb or not. All I said, without expressing my own personal opinion, was that apparently Mr. Webb had the courage of hia convictions. I then went further to show that Mr. Webb had a mandate from his electors in Grey to remain in New Zealand, etc., etc. When I saw the editor of the local evening paper "about, his action in withholding publication of my letter and in place thereof misrepresenting what I actually wrote, all the satisfaction I got was to be ordered out of his office.—Yours, etc., G. S. THOMSON. Wanganui.

About the computer-generated text

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a process for automatically extracting text from scanned pages. OCR enables searching of large quantities of full-text data, but it is not 100% accurate. The level of accuracy depends on the print quality of the original newspaper and its condition at the time of microfilming. Newspapers with poor quality paper, small print, mixed fonts, multiple column layouts or damaged pages may have poor OCR accuracy.

The page where this item appears has an estimated OCR accuracy of 98.42%.
