PENALISING THE PUBLIC.
Visitors to the Manawatu Show will in future miss the interesting commentary on exhibits such as butter and cheese hitherto given by the Departmental experts to the press, says the "Standard." It seems that the circular recently issued to Civil servants prohibiting' their giving inf rmation t-i the newspapers also covers the Agricultural Department, and the result is that the exhibitors are to be derived of the benefit of knowledge that they are antitled to. It can be imagined how the usefulness of the experts will be curtailed if this ridiculous regulation is not withdrawn. The Government's acting practically amounts to an expression, of want of confidence m its responsible officers, and puta the service in an unenviable position. It is strange that notwithstanding the pointed criticism to which the Ministerial decree has been subjected no attempt has yet been made to justify the action taken. An opportunity should be given the Government to explain the need for its regulation in the House.
