Power for Cambridge

According to the Abstract of Statistics the total number of units, supplied from main Government substations to the Cambridge Electric Power Board for the years ended March 31, 1942-44, are as follows: In 1942, 9,662,740 units were consumed; in 1943, 9,769,040 and in 1944, 9,724,720. Political Censorship "One of the first acts of the National Party when it assumes power next year will be to abolish the present inquitous political censorship," said Mr K. J. Holyoake, M.P. (Pahiatua), when addressing members of the Grey Lynn branch of the National Party last night.' "In England, where people have been living within range and sound of the enemy, censorship has been practically non-existent, matters being left to the common sense and good judgment of individual editors. But here, during the war years, our Government has grown increasingly, reluctant to submit itself to the whiplash of public opinion, and now in New Zealand —surely the most distant of all countries from actual conflict—we are living beneath one of the most rigid Press censorships in the world."
