THE PRESS UNION.

AN IMPERIAL MOVEMENT. VISCOUNT BURNHAM ON THE DOMINION PRESS. {Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, August 17. Viscount Burnham, interviewed, said that so far the British Press delegation had had a magnificent journey. They had travelled by the All Red route, receiving in Canada a warm welcome. They had been able to spend four days in the Rocky Mountains and in Vancouver they had received a civic welcome and a public lunch had been given them t>y (the City Council, Chamber of Commerce and newspaper press. Canada regarded the Press Union as a great Imperial movement. The Governor of Hawaii had honoured the delegates at Honolulu and similar courtesy had been shown them at Suva. . ■ The purpose of the organisation was to obtain the most efficient service for the newspaper press throughout the Empire in regard to cables and the wireless arrangements it had made it had been of very great advantage. There were branches in every part of the Empire. One representative of India was with them, Mr Moore, editor of the Statesman (Calcutta). Another from India would join them in Australia. Malta was represented and a delegate would go la Australia from Singapore. “I am quite /familiar with New Zealand newspapers,” Viscount Burnham proceeded. ‘‘New Zealand is said to be, and I expect to And it, the most British of all the British Dominions; and giving one the most keen sensations of home. That applies equally to the New Zealand press. There is a marked similantj between the newspapers of New Zealand and the old newspapers of Britain. Typical papers such as The Times Scotsman, Manchester Guardian and Daily Telegraph are suggested by the make-up of the New Zealand newspapers, the choice of subjects and manner in which they are treated. I notice also how well the blocks and illustrations are now done. Your standards and practice generally are practically identical with the older Ehglish journalism. “Don’t sport with health.”—Jackson.
