Ban on Neutral Diplomats Enforces Severe War Censorship
London April 18 Britain imposes a nationwide ban on neutral and Allied diplomats leaving the country and subjects all communications to censorship except missions of Russia the United States and the British Commonwealth. The measure aims to prevent any inkling of invasion plans from reaching the enemy as safeguards were extended to neutral and UN diplomats. First results include postponement of a Brazilian diplomat’s departure and Sweden halting safe travel by Swedes to Scotland after one more trip. The restrictions forbid telegrams not in plain language and any diplomatic bags not censored, and bar couriers and staff movements. The action follows other wartime controls on news of convoy arrivals and travel to Eire. The United States and Russia were consulted beforehand.
