CONSIDERED PROPAGANDA
BOROUGH COUNCIL’S REFUSAL. CRITICISM BY LABOUR M.P. It is the contention of Mr W.. ,T. Jordan, Labour M.P. for Manukau, that certain things referred to in Holy Scripture are, when voiced by Labour speakers, considered to be political propaganda. Speaking at the Frankton Town Hall last evening, Mr Jordan criticised the action of the Hamilton Borough Council In refusing the local branch of the Labour movement permission to hold Sunday evening meetings. The welfare of the people was in effect a religious question, and if they were debarred from speaking on these things matters had come to a pretty pass. The Governor-General, said., the speaker, had referred on Anzac Day to the necessity of balancing the budget and surely reference made to hundreds of people who had insufficient to meet their needs could not be considered out of place.
