NEWS OF DIEPPE LOSSES
CANADIAN CANDOOR PRAISED.
PA. Cable.
MONTREAL, Oct. 19.
The United States Director of the Office of War Information, Mr Elmer Davis, said that economic co-opera-tion between the Allies during the war was proving so valuable that in the merest common self-interest, it would probably be continued in some form after the war. Praising Canada for the candour and common-sense with which the severe losses at Dieppe were announced, Mr Davis said: "We all recognise that information which would aid the enemy and which is not already known to him must be withheld; but in neither nation do we admit the pernicious doctrine that bad news should be withheld because it might discourage the people, nor that it should be saved up till it can be balanced with good news. A free people wants to know and has the right to know how battles are going, and will fight all the harder if it realises how hard must be the fight for victory."
