§ 78. Sir M. Robertsonasked the Minister of Information the arrangements for censoring despatches from the North African front; and whether British correspondents have any advantage over their American colleagues?
§ Mr. ThurtleThe majority of despatches from the North African front are censored at their source; the others are dealt with by the United States Military Censors in London. No messages have passed through the British Censorship at all. The allegation made in certain American newspapers that British correspondents have been given an advantage over their American colleagues is quite untrue and has been categorically denied by the European Theatre Headquarters of the United States Army.
