RANDOLPH FOLLOWS IN FATHER'S FOOTSTEPS.
WELLINGTON, Oet. 5. "If anybodv hits me I'm likely to hit back," said Mr. Eandolph Churchill to his flrst Wellington audience- whicli fllled the Town Hall on f^aturday night. He proceeded to attack Communism. The Communists had adherents near the Town Hall entrance distributing parnphlets. Amongst other questions: "Who is this Eandolph Churchill?" asked the pamphlet. It answered the question with a denunciation of the speaker. In the course of a vigorous speech Mr. Churchill said: "It is alleged that I am a warmonger and full of sympathy for the Nazi criminal's. Both charges are false, and in most cases the people who taught the liars made' the charges knowing them to be false." His main address was on the lines of his previous ones and was listened to by an audience sliglitly more numerous in women than men. It gave the speaker a hearfng in which there wa? no heckling, only a few indications of dissent and a fair measure of applause. The Mayor of Wellington (Mr. Appleton) issued an invitation to Mr. Wrnston Churchill througli Mr. Eandolph Churchill to visit New Zealand at as early a dhte as possible as the guest of the City of Wellington. — * -
