DAMAGING PHOTOGRAPHS
PICTURES OF ’QUAKE AREA
Press Association WELLINGTON, Today. At the meeting or the Mayor’s Earthquake Relief Fund Committee yesterday, Mr. W. S. Wilson remarked on the continued appearance of earth quake photographs in certain of the illustrated papers. "These go to all parts of the world," said Mr. Wilson, “and it is no wonder that there are’ distorted views of the calamity in newspapers abroad. 1 think these photographs are most damaging to the afflicted districts and I was wondering if a word from you, sir, might not have a good effect in stopping the practice.” “I’m afraid,” said the Mayor, Mr. G. A. Troup, smiling, “that it would take more than the Mayor to control the Press. As long as there is auv interest in the earthquake area, they will publish photographs. You can’t prevent that sort of thing.”
