Correspondence in Foreign Languages.

Postmaster-General’s Office,

Wellington, 18th November, 1914.

THE Imperial authorities have found so much difficulty in censorship of letters and documents written in Croatian and other uncommon languages sent from New Zealand to England for ultimate despatch to Austria-Hungary and elsewhere in Europe that it has been found necessary to direct that in future no letters or documents written or printed in languages other than English, French, Italian, or German shall be allowed to pass through the Post. All persons of any nationality must therefore write in one of those four languages. All letters and documents written or printed in other languages will be stopped by the New Zealand censor, and will not be permitted to pass from New Zealand.

H. D. BELL,

For Postmaster-General.
