Where is Truth?
Where is Truth?
Your front-page article on the New Zealand press was very good as far as it went. But, to paraphrase jesting Pilate. "Where is 'Truth'?" It has a larger circulation than any other journal in the country, is twice is salacious as the "Standard," and does occasionally "break through" with some muckraking scoop—as, for example, the Compton affair. Yet you did not oven mention it. Also the "Listener" surely deserved some comment-even though Fairburn's unmistakable description in your subsequent issue may be the last word.
