DUTY OF PRESS
Modern Journalists Submit To Censorship MR. CHURCHILL'S EVASIONS Rec. noon. PERTH, this day. Any measure which reduced the number of newspapers In Australia would be very narmful, said Mr. George Weller, war correspondent of the Chicago Dally News, In an address at the University of Western Australia. Pressmen to-day willingly submitted to the military censorship. They no longer attempted to dodge this censorship as Mr. Churchill had done In the Boer War. Then, as war correspondent for a London paper, Mr. Churchill used to send dispatches in anagram and acrostic form.
However, the public should watch for any signs of restrictions on Journalists, who had the obligation to give their readers the truth, without sparing military or political leaders.
