CONTROL OF PRESS
IMPOSED BY GENERAL GIRAUD. LONDON, May 5. General Giraud’s civil administration in North Africa has imposed such strict control of the Press that newspaper editors are instructed what prominence to give announcements from the Secretariat of Information, says the Algiers correspondent of the British United Press. Announcements are released with instructions that, for example, they are to receive a three-column heading, or a good place on the first page.
The method is similar to the control of the Press which is familar in Italy and Germany. It is not known in Algiers whether the Government considers such strict control necessary because the Axis occupied part of North Africa, or whether the policy will change when the Tunisian battle is finished.
