JOURNALISTS PROTEST TO MINISTER
IBv Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Nov. 27. The Christchurch Journalists’ Union decided at u special meeting to seek an explanation from the Minister of primary Broduetion, Mr. Barclay, of remarks made at recent meetings of primary production councils in Canterburyi and his direction that reporters should be excluded. A letter to be forwarded to the Minister states: “4Ve are concerned only with the unnecessary reflection on the integrity of working journalists. Particularly are we concerned at the inference to be drawn from your request that reporters be asked to leave a meeting at Christchurch after the meeting had gone into committee. The suggestion that confidential information would be published is one that Canterbury journalists resent, lhe matter is of vital importance to the union, as it affects the professional reputation of every one of its members m Canterbury. Had you dealt with the question oilier than by inference and innuendo this letter would not have been necessary.”
