NO RESTRICTION.
ON PRESS NEWS FROM SAMOA. By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON. February 30. The Prime Minister made available for publication to-day the following communication received yesterday from the Administrator of Western Samoa: “In perusing the papers coming from New Zealand by the mail to-day. I not® that nearly all of them emphasise the absence of news from Samoa, and blame the censorship regulations. The impression that I am preventing news from being sent to the papers is quite erroneous. Since the riot of the 23th December last, I have refused transmission of one radio message only, and every other message has been transmitted without any portion being excised, or a* y interference or delay whatever, whether its contents were true or not. Any absence of news other than official matter is, therefore, the fault of the newspapers themselves, or their correspondents. (Signed) S. S. Allen, Administrator."
