PERFORMING RIGHTS
DEAN’S LETTER OF PROTEST
SYDNEY, Nov. 16.
A letter from tlie Dean of Bathurst, the Very Rev. H. R. Holmes, protesting against a request made by the Australian Performing Right Association, was read at yesterday’s sitting of the Royal Commission on Performing Rights. “A service was recently broadcast,” said tlie Dean, “from All Saints’ Cathedral, Bathurst, and 1 have since received a demand to make a return of all choral items of worship in that service. The service contained such hymns, psalms, and anthems as are usually rendered from the recognised sources provided for public worship, and it seems to us to be in the nature of a tyranny on the part of the Performing Right Association that it feels that it has a right to demand of us that wo give an account to them in the matter of the hymns, psalms, and anthems used in public worship.”
