UNPATRIOTIC UTTERANCES.
.* sAN- EMPHATIC PROTEST. (Per Press "Association.) "*• WELLINGTON, last night. It was resolved! unanimously at the annual meeting of the Newspaper Proprietors-' Association: — '. "That this association, in general meeting assembled, haying had under its consideration the public utterances of Mr. Robert Sample, M.P.. on the anarchist principles of the Bolshevists and similar organisations as reported in the Christchurch papers, considers it to be its duty to record its emphatic protest against the support by public men of doctrines so inimical to the people of New Zealand! and to the welfare of the Empire. It is specially to be deplored that inen who are representatives of tha people in Parliament should so far forget the duty they owe to some sections of their constituents, and, by their unpatriotic utterances, endeavor to create a spirit of disloyalty in a community which has shown its patriotism in a marked degree, and whose members must resent' the dissemination of the unworthy and dangerous doctrines referred to.
