THE BRITISH MINISTRY OF INFORMATION LORD CAMROSE RESIGNS. REDUCTIONS IN OFFICIAL STAFF. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received This Day. 11.35 a.m.) LONDON, October 25. Lord Camrose, in the House of Lords, announced that he was relinquishing his official position in the Ministry of Information, which should now function smoothly if Lord MacMillan were given a fair chance. He added that the number of responsible officials was being reduced by thirty per cent. This discounts the report that Lord MacMillan is resigning. He has probably been confused with Lord Camrose. Lord MacMillan, defending the Ministry, said the rearrangements reduced salaries by £46,000 annually. Further changes might be expected, including more assistance from journalists. The Ministry had achieved doubling the number of Press attaches abroad, of which Britain had eighteen before the war. “My opposite number, Dr. Goebbels, has many, with hordes of agents," Lord MacMillan added. “Germany has spent at least six million sterling annually on propaganda in the past six years.’’
