BLACKMAIL IN THE PRESS.

WHAT DOES SIR JOSEPH WARD MEAN? (From Our Own Correspondent.) Wellington, Last Night. "There should be a provision in the law of this country to prevent the blackmail of persons through the press," remarked Sir Joseph Ward when a Bill dealing with police matters was being discussed by the House of Representatives this evening. "Power is required to deal -with persons who attempt to blackmail people through advertisement'; in the press. I think something should be done in the interests of the public life of this Dominion." The Prime Minister: Will you explain what von mean by blackmail? *•

Sir '.Joseph Ward: I don't think it is necessary for me to give cases. Now that sort of thing is being attempted in this country, and T think it is in the interests of the public life of this Dominion that it should be prevented. An effort should be made in that direction when an amendment to the Police Offences Bill comes down."
