The Premier Mr McKell opening the 42nd annual conference of the New South Wales Country Press Association warned against a standardised national press. He urged the preservation of independence to protect rural interests, noting country papers shape local opinion more than metropolitan dailies and highlighting their role in covering local affairs. He emphasised public criticism of leaders who seek press control and praised country papers as vital voices from rural Australia.

New South Wales Potatoes Price Set At 4? per Ton
Approval given to growers price of 4 15 per ton for new potatoes grown in New South Wales. The price is not a new level but reflects seasonal luxury supply. Sydney price less transport and merchant costs sets produced price. margins apply for broken bags and washed potatoes. Retail cap set at 3d per lb. old potatoes stay at 6d. Dry weather reduces NSW crop, so higher price compensates growers.

A fragment mocks the Fuehrer as a loathsome blot and contempts the idea of divinity for him. The speaker derides Goering and compares the figure to Mephisto, using mordant humor to lampoon Nazi leadership.
