SIR JOSEPH WARD
PORTFOLIO OF POSTMASTERGENERAL. ( (Bv Telegraph—Press Association). WELLINGTON, Dec. 16. Sir Joseph Ward stated to-day:— It has been brought under my notice that a statement published in Saturday's press in regard to my assumption of the portfolio- of PostmasterGeneral, has conveyed a very wrong, impression to the public. I wish it clearly to be understood that in taking over this Department at lliis time, I do not do so through any lack of confidence in Hon. J. B. Donald’s ability, or through any feeling of dissatisfaction with bis administration of the Department during his tenure of office. On the contrary, Mr Donald’s work has merited and received the complete approval of myself, my colleagues, and I think the public. I feel, however, that my former long experience in and knowledge of the Department may enable me to complete more rapidly the investigations which Mr Donald has already, for some months, been conducting and apply such remedies as may be necessary.
