EXPLANATION SOUGHT
OF REMARKS BY MINISTER. REGARDED AS REFLECTION ON JOURNALISTS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. The Christchurch Journalists’ Union is to seek an explanation from the Minister of Primary Production (Mr Barclay) of remarks made at a recent meetings of primary production councils in Canterbury, and his direction that reporters should be„ excluded. This was decided upon at a special meeting of the Journalists’ Union. A letter to be forwarded to the Minister states that the union is particularly concerned at the inference to be drawn from the Minister’s request that reporters be asked to leave a meeting at Christchurch after the meeting had gone into committee. “The suggestion that confidential information would be published,” the letter adds, “is one that Canterbury journalists resent. The matter is of vital importance to the union, as it affects the professional reputation of every one of its members in Canterbury. Had vou dealt with the question other than by inference and innuendo, this letter would not have been necessary.” .
