MEETINGS AND SOCIALS.

At the Alhambra Theatre last night, under the auspices oi the New Zealand Socialist party, Mr F. Freeman addressed a good attendance, his subject being ‘The Yellow Peril.’ In the course of an interesting address he said that twenty yours ago (Socialism was not thought of in China, but now they could hear it preached at the street corners. The whole of the white rate would hove to live in fear of the Yellow Peril unless they progressed to that point where there was no antagonism between employer and employed. If they organised themselves in New Zealand and 2CKOOO Chinese came here to-morrow they could afford to welcome them, but because they lived and worked under a profitmaking system they lived in fear of *he Chinese and tlie Japanese. It was only under a Commonwealth where goods were produced for use and not for profit that they need not bo afraid of the Yellow Peril. 'Hie speaker was accorded a hearty vote of thanks on the motion of Mr J. Munro, who presided GARTERS’ SMOKE CONCERT.
