VIGOROUS PRESS
Emphasis On Value In Wartime FREEDOM OF CRITICISM (Received November 1, 9,25 p.m.) LONDON, October 31. Miss Ellen Wilkinson, M.P., Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Home Security, addressing a conference of the International Federation of Journalists, said that interference with freedom of opinion in wartime should be of the most restricted kind. “It is important that the Press in wartime should be free to criticize within the limits which they themselves regard as just and right and also in the public interest,” she said. “The informal partnership between the Press and the Government has been cue triumph of war’s democratic conduct.” The Minister of Information, Mr. Bracken, sent a message stating that an independent Press free to comment, criticize and tell the truth fearlessly was high on the list of the things for which we were fighting.
