INSIDIOUS PROPAGANDA
CRITICAL PERIOD FOR DOMINION REV. L. B. NEALE ON COMMUNISTIC TEACHINGS [Per United Press Association.! PAHIATUA, September 10, Rev. L. B. Neale, of Dunedin, president of the Methodist Conference of New Zealand, speaking at a civic reception, said: “ I believe within the next 50 years, unless the church draws together in a determined attack on insidious propaganda, the structural foundation of all that is dear to us will be blasted by subversive and atheistic philosophy.” He added: “ Signs of Communistic teachings and other subversive propaganda are establishing themselves in New Zealand and if they are continued we will have a totalitarian regime.” To the farmers, Mr Neale said unless they stood behind the flag of Jesus Christ they would be marching off their farms into a concentration camp. “ For God’s sake go to church. I am no pessimist, but I am convinced that never in the history of Now Zealand have we been faced with such a critical period.”
