Confusion

Two newspaper owners have written, pointing out that we got some of our wires crossed in the Tropicalities item on Tahiti newspapers (Sept. p. 17).

Mr. Philippe Mazellier points out that La Depeche is a daily, owned by him and not by Mr.

Alfred Poroi, who has an in terest in Echos de Polynesie, which has a section in English.

The manager of Le Journal de Tahiti writes to inform us that La Presse, which we also mentioned, ceased publication a month ago, having been sold by the owners of La Depeche to the owners of Echos de Polynesie.

As far as we’re concerned, this is confusion worse con founded. Which is Mr. Poroi’s new weekly, equipment for which was supposed to have landed in Papeete in August?
