[vi-lt TRUSS ASSOCIATION. —COPYRIGHT.] PROHIBITED PUBLICATI ON S. AUCKLAND March 30. A deputation from the Loyal Orange Lodge and ProtestantPolit-cia 1 Association interviewed the Hon. A. M. Myers stating that they desired to obtain certain. publications on Romanism from other-countries. These publications Air Myers, as Minister of Customs, had decided not to admit.
The Rev. Air Smith said that this literature was required to counteract certain disloyalty and if the Government- continued to stop it from coming in, then the Protestants would speak. AU Myers: Is that a. threat ? t ’iMr Smith : It is no threat. It is a statement of fact. Ho added that they would support the Cabinet so long as it acted in the best interests of the comitiiy. If this literature were false, Roman Catholics could easily prove its falsity.
Dr. Reekie, representing the Protestant political Association, expressed similar views. Air AfyeVs said he had seen the literature in question and had consulted Air Alassey about it. They had decided it would be prejudicial to recruiting, and had stopped it from coming in. They had to recognise that- the -Empire wan at war. It was necesary to present a united front, particularly in view of the critical situation now existing. HTe suggested that the deputation’s views were one-sfdod, hut he promised to bring them before the Cabinet soon.
