The Ministry of Suppression
That heavily-weighted institution which has recently be- come familiarly known as the Ministry for the Suppression of News has been the subject of complaints not only here, but in every country in the world interested in news of the war. In New York particularly pointed criticism has been directed at it, and equally in South Africa, in Holland, and in many of the neutral countries whose good opinion it is so important to preserve. It is imperative that all this be changed. Till it is foreign papers will be printing more German news than British. Happily the step most needed has at last been taken. Lord Camrose is the most success- ful newspaper organiser of our time. He has consented to become chief assistant to Lord Macmillan. It is to be hoped he will be able to end the Ministry of Information's ban on information.
