Rights Of Free Peoples (Rec. 9.20 p.m.) MONTREAL, Oct. 19. Mr Elmer Davis, director of the United States Office of War Information, said inter-Allied economic co-operation 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 commonsense with which the severe losses at Dieppe had been announced, Mr Davis said: “We all recognize 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 or should be saved up till it can be balanced with good news. A free people wants to know, and has a right to know, how the battles are going and will fight all the harder if it realizes how hard it must fight for victory.”
