THE POST AND TELEGRAPH SERVICE
10 THE EDITOR. Sir,—lt is evident from the reply furnished by the Postmaster-general to mv letter which was published in your issue of the sth inst. that Mr Jones is not acquainted with the action that is, baing carried out in the department he has the honour to represent. He denies that there is anything obscure or secretive about the matter, and states that it would be impossible to maintain silence. Yet. I am prepared to prove conclusively that instructions were issued that the decision was not to be made public. . . .. I am inclined to the opinion that Mr Jones has been misled by not having been taken into the confidence of the Director-general. Readers will, I am certain, agree that the charge of secrecy has been proved, for the reasons already referred to in my first letter, namely, to save any criticism ot one or two in high places. These few lines to which you have given prominence will no doubt give the Postmaster-general an opportunity to explain how he was not. informed of the extraordinary decision to curb officers from discussing their own private business. Surely the Officers' Association did not make this arrangement.—l am. etc.. . Radiojam. Dunedin, December 6.
