LAWS TO CONTROL PRESS
Address To Union Of Journalists (N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) KARACHI. January 7. The general secretary of the Commonwealth Press Union (Sir Henry Turner) said in Karachi yesterday that he did not favour special laws to govern a nation’s newspapers. He was addressing the Karachi Union of Journalists, which last June expressed its concern at Government “encroachments” on newspapers’ freedom of the press. Sir Henry Turner said common laws applicable to individuals should also apply to newspapers. However, if a newspaper committed an offence against the law, he said, it was more serious than an offence by an individual because of the newspaper’s influence over a larger number of people. Sir Henry Turner is visiting Karachi on his way home from meetings of the Commonwealth Press Union in Australia
