THE DUTY OF THE PRESS

BY CABLE—PEESS ASSOCIATION—COPYEIGHT.

In tones of surprise, he said that he had been informed that even Australia had legislated that prior to an election, every article should be signed. It was, he said, the prime duty of the press to cope with and minimise and assuage international suspicions, instead of warming them into a, hateful fire.
