THE PRINTED WORD
POWER OF THE PRESS. L Per Press Association.] WELLINGTON, Feb. 5. “The printed word remains but the radio message is wafted on the wind," said the Tasmanian Treasurer and Deputy-Premier, Mr. Dwyer Gray, commenting on the dissemination of news in New Zealand. He had faith in the continued power of the Press lor the expression of public opinion. Mr. Dwyer Gray left by the Wanganella for Sydney this afternoon. While in New Zealand, said Mr. Dwyer Gray, he studied the works of man rather than the works of Nature. He had been particularly interested in the broadcasting of news, but he was satisfied that the Press would remain, the greatest vehicle in that field. AS a newspaperman he knew the value of the Press, and as a politician he knew how the newspapers could fight against some things. But he was still satisfied that the power of the Press must remain paramount.
