'WITNESS 'FEARS TO TELL

THE TRUTH.

That he did not wish to give

The first copy of "Britannia," the new sixpenny weekly paper to be produced by Mr. Gilbert Fran- evidence through fear of money- kau, will make its appearance on lenders was the striking statement Friday, writes a special repre-made by an Indian named Kartar sentative of the Morning Post.

Mr. Frankau told me yesterday n few details of the periodical "Britannia' (he said) will be non- party. It will not be a political paper nor

a magazine; but a newspaper.

"The country is sick of party politics. We shall take no policy In the General Election. What we want is for the country to be governed by an economie council, There are many things happening nowadays which the public are not told. I believe the time has come for the publie to be told the truth. We shall speak eritically and directly, almost offensively at times.
