Suspends
THE “Western Samoa Mail”, a weekly newspaper, established in 1901, has suspended publication, its last issue having been on March 28. The owner editor, Mr. J. W. Liston, announced that suspension was caused by circumstances over which the owner had no control, but it was hoped to resume publication before very long.
These are bad times for publishing concerns. There is a growing shortage of paper, skilled men are being called away to war duties, and the disruption of commercial life cuts away advertise ments, upon which popular newspapers depend for their principal revenues.
