PRESS ASSOCIATION.
Wk aro given to understand that one of the questions to engage tin; attention of Parliament at an early date is that of the privileges of the Press Association, and the treatment by that body of the Hastings Standard will be touched upon. The copyright granted to the Association gives it protection for the publication of English cablegrams that it receives from an Australian syndicate, and with a protection such as this it has become a close corporation, demanding a sum out of all reason from any newspaper that threatens to compete with any of Association's connections. It mny not be generally known that the principal papers of the colony paid nothing at all for entrance-fee, and when the representatis es of these papers can have the audacity to demand .-t'soo from a newspaper in Hastings, the question naturally arises, Is it not time that such a monopoly is fully enquired into ?
