Britain to Answer Censorship Protests in Transatlantic News
London Aug 18 Britain plans to reply to an American inquiry on censorship of transatlantic news cabled from Germany via London. Lord Robert Cecil says Britain still censors as long as Germany controls information, and would not interfere if unbiased American correspondents could dispatch from Germany. A group of American press correspondents asked Ambassador Gerard to push for German dispatches to reach American papers unhampered by British censorship. The State Department forwarded the inquiry to London. Gerard cautioned he could not back the correspondents unless Germany ends censorship.
