INTERRUPTION RESENTED

GOVERNOR-GENERAL’S REQUEST

LABOUR MEMBERS INTERJECT.

By Telegraph.—Press Association.

Auckland, Last Night. During a meeting at the Town Hall to-day to discuss the unemployed boy problem, the Governor-General, Lord Bledisloe, said he did not agree with the idea that the Government should find a considerable sum of public money, as the bigger the public debt became the more it would in the long run burden the very youths they were now trying to help. Mr. W. E. Parry, Labour M.P. for Auckland Central, interjected with a remark to the effect that it would be better to give the young people a good, healthy constitution now tathet than worry about their future burdens. His Excellency asked what the interjector had said; and Mr. Parry told. him. His Excellency then put down his notes and said that if interjections continued he would have to retire and leave them to find a solution iff their own way; Occupying the position ho did ho could not continue if there should be interjections. The Mayor, Mr. Hutchison, said there must be no more interjection. Mr. Parry arid two other M’s.P. were present without invitation. After a moment’s silence His Excellency resumed his remarks. Later in the meeting Mr. J. A. Lee, M/P., was refused permission to join in the general discussion, the Mayor saying that no M’s.P. had been asked as it was thought desirable to avoid politics.
