WAR CENSORSHIP
CRITICISED BY AMERICAN i SENATOR FIGHTING MEN ENRAGED & DISILLUSIONED (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.5 a.m.) PEARL HARBOUR, September 29. Senator Lodge, after a visit to war fronts, said he will report to Congress that our news censorship, as he saw it at the front, enrages and disillusions our fighting men in the truthfulness of their leaders. Senator Lodge told the Associated Press: “I don’t know whom our rosy censorship helps unless it is the enemy, Iby making us under-estimate him. I saw a United States soldier .befriend Italian and German prisoners, but such camaraderie does not exist in the Pacific, where we fight the Japanese to a finish. The Japanese made it that way, by torturing prisoners, shooting down ' parachutists and executing Doolittle ■ flyers in cold blood. Our litter-bearers : are their favourite target. These truths • should be driven home.”
