Pamphlet "Raid" in Victorian House: Four Persons Ejected
MELBOURNE, July 14
The police ejected four women and a man from the Legislative Assembly after pamphlets had fluttered from the Strangers' Gallery into the Chamber. The Government was introducing legislation to ban subversive films. The attendants recovered some pamphlets which were headed “open letter to Mr. Hollway: "This is a free country—or is it?”
The pamphlets claimed that the Government had banned a children’s cartoon, "Christmas Tree,” simply because it was made in the Soviet Union. They were signed on behalf of the Realist Film Unit of Melbourne.
