A section of the audience then shouted that the Minister ought to apologise to the interjector, and a bigger section said the interjector should apologise to the Minister.

Uproar existed for a minute or two

Mr. E. Edridge asked the Minister what was the Labour Government's intention towards the country quota.

Mr. Semple: Labour is not worrying about the c-ountry quota.

Warning Hand.

When he reached the aisle he turned to the Minister, raised his hand in the Fascist salute, and followed the constable out of the halL Loud applause greeted hie departure. The Minister said he had so far addressed 67 meetings in various parts of New Zealand, but had never until that night had an unfriendly word said against him. "They can't come to my meetings and make a scene without getting it in the neck," he added.
