UNEMPLOYED TROUBLE
MR. R. SEMPLE DISCLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY YESTERDAY’S DEPUTATION Press Association WELLINGTON, Thursday. In a statement -today Air. Robert Semple, AT.P., dissociates himself entirely from the unemployed deputation which attempted to force itself upon the Prime Minister, the Hon. G. W. Forbes, yesterday and whose tactics he described as nothing short of disgraceful. What he did, Mr. Semple said, was to ask Air. Forbes to receive a deputation through the Trades and Labour Council and this Mr. Forbes had fixed for Friday. deputation had nothing to do with this or himself. It was arranged by the Communist Party and there was no connection between that party and the Labour Party. He would have refused to ask the Prime Minister to meet any such deputation. As far as their repudiation of himself yesterday was concerned, he could only take it as a compliment coming from that quarter.
