Lord Northcliffe has been appointed Director of Propaganda in Enemy

Countries. He has explained that he will direct the work, already begun, of disseminating full reports of important speeches and statements of war aims among the enemy peoples. He will con- tinue to manage the London headquarters of the British War Mission to America. Mr. Boner Law, when questioned on Monday, professed ignorance concerning Lord Northcliffe's appointment, but expressed a confident belief that the Prime Minister knew of it.
