Electors' Association
Letter to the Editor I SHOULD like to correct an impression which may be gained from your article in the August “PIM” entitled “‘Fiji Guardian’; A New Weekly News paper.” The name of our paper, inciden tally, is “The Weekly Guardian.”
You imply that the European Electors’
Association is the mainspring of the paper. This is not so. Your article states that “men orominently connected with the association” have organised “The Guardian.”
Some confusion exists between “The Guardian,” a monthly pamphlet pub lished by the European Electors Associa tion, and our new venture, “The Weekly Guardian.”
The following extract from the state ment of policy of the proprietors of the “Weekly Guardian” in the first issue, should make the matter quite clear.
“The new journal has no connexion (with the EE A), other than the perpetuation of the name (of “The Guardian”), and the accidental fact that the proprietors happen to be members of that associa tion. The new publication will treat the Electors’ Association in exactly the same manner as it will treat the Government, local bodies and all other organisations— on their merits.”
I am, etc., Suva, Fiji.
September 30.. 1947.
