WAR PUBLICITY
AMERICAN CORRESPONDENT’S VIEWS. MR CHURCHILL’S EXPLOITS . RECALLED. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.40 p.m.) PERTH, This Day. Any measure which reduced the number of newspapers in Australia would be very harmful, said Mr George Weller ,war correspondent of the “Chicago Daily News,” in an address at the University of Western Australia. Pressmen today, he said, willingly submitted to military censorship. They no longer attempted to dodge the censorship, as Mr Churchill had done in the Boer War. As war correspondent for a London paper, Mr Churchill used to send despatches in anagram and acrostic form. However the public should watch for signs of restrictions on journalists, who had obligation to give their readers the truth, without sparing military or political leaders.
