CENSORSHIP HANDICAP BRITISH RESTRICTIONS NEW YORK COMMENT GERMANS SEND PHOTOS (Elec. Tel. Copyright—Unitod Dross Assn.) (Rccd. Sept. 15, 10.30 a.m.) NEW YORK, Sept. 14. Anglo-American circles are seriously disturbed by the failure of British war pictures to reach America, ostensibly on account of action by the censors. / A delegation of leading press picture agency heads visited Lord Lothian, British Ambassador to the United States, and stressed the fact that sight German war photographs were wirelessed directly from Berlin to New York —“pictures which did not do Germany any harm”—-against one British photograph.
The delegation declared: “Britain certainly Ls losing out in the way of propaganda.”
The situation in relation to France is even more acute, and not a single picture agency in America has received one war photograph -from France since the conflict began.
It is learned that Lord Lothian informed Anglo-American quarters that he had taken the matter up with Whitehall.
