DOCUMENT HELD UP
Reason ( Not Known “Without seeing the document in question it is not possible to say anything definite,” said an official of the Censor's Office in Wellington, to whom was referred yesterday a report that a copy of the manifesto published recently in furtherance of the Campaign for Christian Order, and posted by a Waimate. clergyman to a friend in the United Kingdom, had been returned to him marked “Not passed by Censor.” The official said that two possibilities, however. suggested themselves: One was that the manifesto had some hand-written comments attached to it, the tone of which, perhaps, might have been too pacifist in character resulting in rejection by the censor; while the other iiossibility was that the manifesto had been posted to Ireland which country excludes the importation of all literature of that sort, the term United Kingdom having been used in a loose sense. Such a document as the manifesto concerned, posted as printed, would not be held up by the censorship in New Zealand, but without further information there could only be speculation as to the reason of the overseas censor s action. ■
