NO SUPRESSION OF NEWS
ADMINISTRATOR'S DENIAL
A denial that lie is preventing news being sent from Western Samoa is mad^ by. the Administrator (Colonel S. S. Allen) in a communication received yesterday by the Prime Minister.
"In perusing'tho papers coming from JN Tew Zealand by the mail to-day (6th February)," says Colonel Allen, "Inote nearly all of them emphasise the absence of news from Samoa, and blame the censorship regulations.. The impression that I am preventing news being sent to the papers is quite erroneous. Since the riot of 28th. December I have refused transmission of one radio message onlyj and every other message has been transmitted without any portion being excised or any interference or delay whatever —whether its contents were truo or not. Any absence of news, other than official matter, is therefore the fault of the newspapers, themselves or their correspondents."
