SOVIET IDEAS
"A BONDAGE OF IRON."
In his address last evening, before members of the Wellington South Group of the Protestant Political Association, the Rev. Howard Elliott referred to the efforts ,made either openly or covertly to disseminate Soviet ideas, and he gave the warning that Sovietism led to a bondage of iron. At present a Russian was actively engaged in propaganda nvork on the West Coast; Soviet pamphlets and other literature were being distributed in New Zealand in hundreds; a member of Parliament had even defied the Prime Minister to interfere were he to advocate Sovietism openly. For much of the unrest the cost of living |wae undoubtedly to blame, and thrift' and increased production alone could bring down that cost. Coal and cement shortages were intimately connected—a result of the putting into operation of the principles of the I.W.W. The P.P.A. stood for King, country, and constitutional government, and he appealed to all Protestant workers to play their parts in their union affairs in making New Zealand a better country to live in.
