Embargo On Fiji Stamps

ANEW regulation in Fiji, which pro hibits the receiving or sending away of either used or unused postage stamps, has been hotly criticised by Fiji philatelists. The Government has given no reason for the new law, and the stamp collectors cannot imagine the purpose it serves.

It is supposed to have something to do with censorship: but it is more likely that it is an attempt to conserve Gov ernment paper and printing, at a diffi cult time. That, however, does not explain the embargo on used stamps.

“If you want the papers to print a thing it is not news. If you don’t it is.”— Peterborough in “Daily Telegraph.”
