CENSORSHIP OF TELEGRAMS.
" PROTEST "BY SIR J. WARD. [bt telegraph—special correspondent] Wellington, Friday. The censorship regulations in regard to inland telegram© were referred to in the House of Representatives this afternoon by Sir Joseph Ward. He agreed that the regulations were necessary in regard to oversea cablegrams, but he did not think they were necessary in respect to "messages within the Dominion. It was obviously unnecessary to require that the full name and address of companies or firms with long names should be inserted in every message. Tho names of all firms and companies with cypher addresses were well-known to the Postal Department.
the Postmaster-General (Hon. R. H. Rhodes) said he agreed that tho regulations were inconvenient, and ho had communicated on the subject with the Imperial authorities who, however, would not consent to tho restrictions being relaxed. lair Joseph Ward: I do not think that the Imperial authorities should rule U3 in this matter. It is a matter of commonsense. Mr. Rhodes: Commonser.se suggests that (rermans might telegraph to one another and use code.
