PRESS CENSORSHIP
CONTROVERSY IN BRITAIN MR. J. A. SPENDER’S WARNING. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copy right! ■ LONDON. November 30. The noted journalist and author, Mr. J. A. Spender, in a speech at the Institute of Journalists’ annual meeting warned the Government of the danger of excessive and cautious newspaper censorship. He added: “If such caution allows the enemy to obtain a long start with false news,. the censors may cause a serious military disadvantage. We may be forced to ask the censors to realise that the Press is not a tiresome survival of peace which should be effaced in war time but a potent military weapon.”
