Cartoon Draws Complaints
(N Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) LONDON, August 4. The Press Council, watchdog over Britain’s newspapers, today rejected complaints that a cartoon which was published in London could incite race hatred. The cartoon, by Cummings, was published in the Rightwing “Sunday Express”, and showed an illiterate coloured man threatening a company director with arrest for race prejudice if he did not give him a job as managing director—a reference to Britain’s new Race Relations Act. The complaints described the cartoon as an incitement to race hatred and as being offensive to immigrants.
