Wellington, Feb. 28. Walter Nash, a publisher’s agent), was charged at the Magistrate's Court and pleaded guilty to two charges of having brought into New Zealand literature advocating and encouraging lawlessness violence, contrary to the War lotions Continuance Act. The pat\ ■ phlets complained of were the Communist programme of the world revolution communist movement, and to the LAY AY. a special uaijjjsagtf from the Communist Inteiwnona! at Moscow.

Nash explained that the literature reached him as samples in a business way, and he had no intention of circulating them. Mr Hunt, S.M., described the pamphlets as dangerous to the body politic as typhoid germs in the city reservoir, and said had Nash intended to circulate them he would have imposed the maximum penalty, but in the circumstances the ease would 'be met by a line of £5 and £7 costs. Charges of selling such literature against two others are vet to be heard.
