PRESS CENSORSHIP
"SHOULD GO TONIGHT"
Security reasons for the censorship had passed, declared Mr. C. M. Bowden (National, Wellington West) in the House of Representatives yesterday. It was absurd to think that anything appearing in New Zealand newspapers would give information to Hitler or'the Japanese. "The Government should trust to the good sense of the newspapers what should be published, the same as in England," he continued. While there was far more need for security in Great Britain than in New Zealand, the United Kingdom Government was far more liberal in its censorship policy than was New Zealand. Mr. Bowden said it was high time the Press censorship regulations were abolished. "They should go out tonight," he added. "It would make no difference to the war."
