AN INTERVIEW.

TO THE EDITOR OF "thz PRESS." +J, S r'~?\ behal L? f the Committee of the Canterbury Women's Social and. Pohtxcal League I am writing to draw SE W entl ° n tO the fact that an iS .or ite™ y^Se "'POrtor and Professor MacMillan-Brown, which appears in this morning's "Press," is to all intents and purposes a report of the lecture given by the,-Professor, to the members of. the C.W.S.P.L. on Wed, nesday November 26th, a full report °Lff'fv was S^ o " to a member of your staff that same day by the secretary and president of the League. Theretore, in common courtesy to the Professor and the League, we consider that mention should have been made of the fact that the lecture had been delivered under the auspices of the League, especially as your reporter, on finding the Professor would be later in arriving at tho hall than the time mentioned when he was notified about the meeting, as is always dono, went away, and therefore, thinking his time was too fully occupied for him to wait, a full report of the lecture was taken by us to your office and read to one of your staff.

I fear the reason wo are not always fully reported in your paper is that, some confusion exists as to the tenets of the Canterbury Women's Social and Political League, in consequence of its title being similar to a society of the same nama existing in Wellington and elsewhere; but there is no connexion or any sympathy of political views whatever between the two —the Canterbury League being the original organisation from which the Women's Branch of the Reform League sprang about fourteen months ago.— Yours, etc., . H. E. B. MORTON, Sec. C.W.S.P.L. Upper Riocarton, December Pth, 1913. |~Wo willingly give publicity to our correspondent's letter. Our correspondent is quite mistaken in the supposition referred to in tho second paragraph of her communication. Ed. "The Press. "1.
