AID TO RUSSIA
NO GREY LYNN MEETING USE OF HALL REFUSED About 30 people who assembled outside the Grey Lynn Library Hall last night, to attend a public meeting announced by the Aid to Russia Committee, found that the meeting could not. be held, the City Council having declined to let the hall for that purpose.
In the absence of Mr. R. Armstrong, convener of the committee, who was in Wellington, Mr. C. G. Watson addressed the gathering from the hall steps. He said the committee, after distributing leaflets, had been informed that day that it could not have the hall. The City Council had evidently resolved to maintain its policy of preventing public meetings in support o? aid to Russia, It had refused the use of the Town Hall and would not allow the use of any of the theatres. Mr. Watson urged all present to take part in a deputation which would wait upon the council at its meeting to-morrow k night to protest against the ban and against the prohibition on the Sunday night meetings of the Rationalist Association.
