ANONYMOUS POLITICAL PUBLICATIONS BILL KILLED
[From Our Parliamentary Special .] WELLINGTON. This Day. According to reliable lobby opinion, the Anonymous Political Publications Bill will not make its appearance in the House of Representatives this session. It was obvious from the first announcement of the Government’s intentions. that there was a good deal of opposition to the proposal, both inside and outside Parliament. ’ . This opposition was reinforced by the determined attitude of organised Labour, which has placed before the Government substantial arguments against too repressive an attitude, which would prejudice not only the newspapers but also numerous trade union and Labour publications. It is felt that, while an official impression is likely to bo created that the measure is merely postponed, in actual fact it will not be revived next session, for the reason ,as one member' put it,” “organised Labour killed it.”
