At the annual meeting of the Newspaper Proprietors' Association of New Zealand, Mr P. Selig (Christchurch), 'the president, in the course of hie address, referred to the influence of the war upon the newspaper business, and -said it was gratifying that the New Zealand newspaper and printing .world had contributed its share of men for the fighting line. Employer and employee had responded nobly to the calls in aid.of the various patriotic funds, and columns of space in the newspapers had been devoted to the support of _al! movements calculated to support King and country. This, he was sure, would be continned.
