Bump Him Into Parliament!

The old Extrav chorus now applies to VUS student Bill Bransgrove, who has sought the National nomination for Wellington Central. The Socialist Club is content with endorsing Labour candidates, but the Charter Club has actually produced a would be M.P. Wouldn't it be fun to sec Ron Smith (M.Com.) standing in the same electorate!

Free New Zealanders?

An amusing account of a London meeting is given by the Peoples' Voice. It seems that forcer Salient editor Alec McLeod and others have met to consider the threat of the Emergency Regulations to stay-at-home New Zealanders. It all sounds rather like the Free French or the London Poles who took refuge abroad during the war. At any moment we expect to get a newsletter like we see turned out by various emigre groups from Spain and Greece.
