Aid Rhodesia Movement
A spokesman for the Aid Rhodesia Movement said yesterday that the movement originated in England and had since spread not only to New Zealand but to several other Commonwealth countries. It was not confined to Canterbury, as might have been inferred from a report about the movement’s meeting on Saturday printed in “The Press” yesterday. The report in “The Press” said that Mr J. R. Firth, vicepresident of the New Zealand Rhodesia Society, would speak at the meeting. The spokesman said it had not been decided yet whether to invite Mr Firth, of Auckland, to speak. Should Mr Eric Butler arrive from Australia in time for the meeting, it might be necessary to ask Mr Firth to postpone his address. The spokesman said that although Saturday’s meeting was of a public nature, admission to the hall was restricted by invitation.
