THREAT TO PRESS.
QUESTION OF LIBERTY.
NECESSITY FOR PROTECTION.
That individual liberty and the liberty of the Press were correlated was the opinion expressed by the president, the Hon. C. J. Carrington, M.L.C., when seconding a motion of thanks to the Press at the annual meeting of the Auckland Sailors' Home last night. Tributes were paid by Mr. Carrington and by the Hon. J. Trevithick, M.L.C., to the work the newspapers had done on behalf of the home.
"At thi-s time we are hearing a lot of murmnrings and even veiled threats against the Press," said Mr. Carrington, who stated that the liberty of the Press should be safeguarded by the people, and the newspapers should always be the medium for the people to express their opinions about any lawful matter whatever. | Every means should be used to stifle any movement that tended to interfere with that liberty, and, therefore, with the liberty of their descendants.
