FAITH IN PRINTED
WORD
VALUE OF PRESS COMPARED
WITH RADIO
(United Press Association)
WELLINGTON, February 4. The printed word remains but the radio message is wafted on the wind, said the Tasmanian Government treasurer and Deputy-Premier, the Hon. Edmund Dwyer-Gray, commenting on the dissemination of news in New Zealand. He had faith in the continued power of the Press for the expression of public opinion. Mr Dwyer-Gray left by the Wanganella for Sydney this afternoon. While in New Zealand he studied the works of man rather than the works of nature. He had been particularly interested in broadcasting of news, but he was satisfied the Press would remain the greatest vehicle in that field. . As a newspaper man he knew the value of the Press and as a politician he knew how newspapers could fight against some things, but he still was satisfied that the “Power of the Press” must remain paramount.
